#1 With Obama's IRS and NSF datamining he has to have "the goods" on every Pub in government.

Maybe that's why Boehner is always crying.

#2 Then the weeping wonder and Cantor own it! We are so fok'd with these people. They just can't stand it unless we're in the kak in some Godforsaken place. Absolute insanity.

#3 They can go in on the assault boat if they feel that way. Jawn Friendly Kerry can captain it with his lucky hat.

#4 I'm with you Snowy. Let's do it right! Everyone of the bastids that votes 'yes' should go in on the first assault wave. Skinny legs can raise a five iron and direct them to the objective. Have at it and show us how she's done!

#5 To me this ain't a question of "is this action a good idea or not," it's a question of "are these people trustworthy or not?"

Jawn Friendly Kerry had enough blood on his hands and human flesh in his bank account _BEFORE_ he met with and talked about how nice Bashir Assad was when he was helping "the resistance" kill Iraqi civilians and American soldiers.

I think large numbers of people are going to die because these idjits are too retarded and chickenshit to stand up and say that the current executive branch can't be trusted.

#6 The only reason we have put on this Chinese Finger Trap is because Cmdr. Zero had to shoot his mouth off about red lines.

Many in D.C. are now in a lather doing all they can to rally around someone clearly out of his league in order to preserve American "seriousness." Along the way, we get to listen to (1) All manner of hoary justifications like they just happened last month; and (2) The "Moral Justification."

Such is the downside in electing a weak person for President....

#7 With a carrier battle group steaming toward the med, appears he [Champ] is going to attack with, or without the congress. So, as R. Paul says, congressional debate is little more than a convenient sham, or a delaying tactic. Boehner needs REPLACING NOW! He's already declared, and congressional debate has just begun. Give me a fok'n break.

#8 Heard a former CIA guy today, sum it up: "Russia is backing Syria.... Putin is a professional, just check his resume... Obama is an amateur" as stated by good Doc Krauthammer.

Hadn't considered a Putin/Obama confrontation....

#9 Never disturb your enemies when they're in the process of killing each other.

#10 ..except the one considers the MB not to be the enemy. The MB considers the US to be among its enemies. So by extension....

#11 Just ask Democratic Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes...she said Democratics are going to vote with the President because they don't want him to be humiliated on the national stage and out of party loyalty. wow.
