GOP Thinks That Obama Should Resign Over Syria

[discocrisco01]

Here is an exceprt from an ABC News article

The policies he's advancing are helping the other team," said Cruz, who called the president, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State John Kerry "apologists for terrorists."

Cruz called for Kerry's resignation, drawing cheers from the 1,500 in attendance.

Huckabee went a step further, saying Kerry was "only doing the bidding of the person who appointed him.

"I've got a better idea -- instead of getting rid of John Kerry, I'd like Barack Obama to resign if he's not going to protect America and instead protect the image of Islam"

Specifically, the concept of Obama actually resigning because he is not going to protect America and let one of the guys take power is an exercise in insanity. So Obama is actually ruining our national security so that jihadists can impose sectarian shariah law in the US is beyond me.



GOP candidates use American exceptionalism as method to spread fear and created inflated views about the United States foreign policy. The GOP uses patriotism and jingoism to hide from a realistic look at our part in foreign affairs and admitting our part.



Admitting our part would be sign of weakness. In reality, admitting our part and making amends is how country evolves and develops strategic alliances with our country that will preseve the mutual self-interest of both countries.



Admitting our part is not a sign of weakness. It is how addicts like me recover from addiction to booze. Admitting our part lets us go our problems and let us take a realistic view of our selves.



The GOP uses American exceptionism as a cover because they do not want to admit addiction to war and addiction to intervention in countries where we have no business invading.


Huckabee's and his ilk are just using this to continue to prove their addiction to war and interventionism. Endless war and interventionism brought down the Roman Empire and it could do the same to us

1. The GOP is full of idiots

[atreides1]

7. Yep

And the majority of those idiots are, unfortunately voters!

[Egnever]

2. Is there anything they don't want him to resign over?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

19. Nope

I'm still really surprised that they haven't tried to impeach him over SOMETHING, not even once (which goes to show that they know that they don't have the grounds to do it)- esp. once the Tea Party brigade showed up. I guess that the party leadership has mostly kept the particularly bloodthirsty ones at bay by filing lawsuits against him and/or his policies (which have done a little damage but haven't ruined much, thankfully). I remember when some Fox "Democrats" were openly (and ludicrously) advocating for President Obama to step down and refuse to run in 2012, which I'm certain had to do with their (justifiable) fear that they couldn't win against him in 2012 (and didn't). You can bet that if a Democrat wins in 2016 (esp. Clinton), they will be busy as usual trying to find something to impeach them over as well. They really just don't have anything better to do with their time and their base basically demands that they waste copious amounts of time on non-productive activities and/or symbolic gestures- to make them feel like Republicans care about them.

3. This is what they did to Bush jr, demand he resign over his invasion of Iraq so it is only fair to

Demand Obama resign. Only kidding. They are so very short sighted, maybe they can get Ted Cruz to resign and a few others.

[malthaussen]

4. They want him to resign because they know impeachment will fail.

Of all the many things that have been unexpected for me since 2009, that there was never a vote to impeach Mr Obama is one of the greatest. Surely, the GOP could have trumped up some reason, if they thought it could fly. But all they did was bluster and threaten.

5. If that were so, GW should be tried for wrongful incompetence

And that's assuming GW didn't have reasonable greedy reasons.

9. GWB shouldn't be tried for wrongful incompetence

He should be tried, but for any one of these things...

Accounting fraud: Bush ran the Iraq and Afghan wars off-budget to disguise the true monetary cost of those misadventures. The GOP LOVES to complain about how much Obama "increased the deficit" in his first year in office. The truth is a little too subtle for them: Obama put the wars back in the budget.

Perjury, for all the lies he and his staff told to get the Iraq war approved.

4,425 counts of murder - one for each KIA from the Iraq war. As we saw in the Kelly Gissendaner case, you don't have to actually kill someone to be charged with it, or executed for it.

2,372 counts of murder - one for each KIA from Afghanistan.

32,223 counts of aggravated assault - the Iraq WIA total.

20,071 counts of aggravated assault - the Afghanistan WIA total.

Throw on a bunch of Hurricane Katrina-related charges, some financial malfeasance stuff involving Halliburton, failure to prevent his wife from making dresses out of the White House curtains...

[Yorktown]

10. OK, incompetence and perjury.

Murder might be stretching it a tad..

[jmowreader]

12. There needs to be some justice for the troops he killed

A private-sector employer who unnecessarily sent his employees to their deaths sometimes gets whacked on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper. There's got to be SOMEthing we can do to Bush for unnecessarily sending HIS employees to their deaths.

[Yorktown]

13. I think a public humiliation would be enough

It's his self satisfied and complacent smirk that gets me.

[uppityperson]

6. GOP thinks Obama should resign over toast. He butters the wrong side

blah blah blah blah obama is the evil blah blah blah blah blah

[Yorktown]

11. Does Obama really butter bread the wrong side?

That's real bad.

I think.

[longship]

8. GOP thinks Obama ought to resign over everything.

His choice of socks, for instance. Or whatever.

Ridiculous.

As Daffy once said, "They are despicable."

[L. Coyote]

14. LOL. They also think he should resign for being a Kenyan Muslim Socialist

and because they can't find anything to impeach him on

[Rex]

15. FUCK THEM. nt

16. It's kind of refreshing to see them moving on from Benghazi.

That horse died a long time ago.

[sibelian]

17. GOP thinks Obama should resign over nose piercings.

GOP thinks Obama should resign over my uncle's barbeque getting knocked over by the dog.

[kentuck]

18. They smell blood and political advantage.

The President might send them a simple message: "Go to hell!"

[lindysalsagal]

20. Obama can say whatever he wants when he's out of office. The keep forgetting that.

It proves none of them thinks their careers are going forward.

Fools.
