Obama renewed the Patriot Act...

And I just read a post that....”If Obama ended the Patriot Act and was followed by an attack on U.S.
soil."....... followed by, he isn’t running for President so for that reason alone he should take steps to
repeal the act...

Bullshit, If there was a serious attack on our country, the republicans would gain control of the Senate and the Presidency over the next two election cycles.So the House, Senate, Presidency (Christi) surrounded by probably 2 Scalia like S.C. judges would be our world for at least a couple of decades..
Everything that Obama does, especially if it is perceived as bad will be attached to the Dems over the next 2 election cycles.

And that scares the shit out of me a lot more than the govt. collecting tech. info from my cell phone if I am calling Nigeria 5 times a day..

Yea, I don’t think there is going to be one problem with Christi being supported by every right wing extremists, moderate and conservative republican with financial support from Corporations, Wall Street and the banks.

I just got on a Medicaid healthcare plan in Ca. which is the result of dollars beginning to be pumped in by the Affordable Healthcare Act... I get complete services plus I got to tell Anthem to go fuck themselves
with their “personalized" $500 a month $7,000 deductible plan.. Yea I also like the idea of retaining my S.S and Medicare plan when it is time for me to collect.
So you know what really scares me is waking up the day after the 2016 and seeing Pres. Christi thanking his staff for all their hard work....That scares the shit out of me..

So right now I’m at war with the republican party and I won’t give them a fucking inch...
Anti-Obama banter from left wing sites only helps stir the pot.

A republican house and senate plus a Pres. Christi with 2 additional Scalia type S.C. Justices couldn’t repeal Obamacare?

Not such a fact.

Not to say what they could do to Medicare and S.S....That is a fact.

but it is often used to justify any and all abuses, which only servers to perpetuate the fraud and abuse that has been ongoing, especially since the 70s.

Ever notice that?

Remember, don't believe everything you think... it is often wrong.

Thank God for Elizabeth Warren!!

How come so few Dems. know how to go on the offense correctly!

But on the other hand those lunatic tea bagger politicians have a knack for lying their guts out
in public and always sound convincing, especially since few of the MSM reporters ever ask follow up
questions..

But Dems always seem to fumble and mumble while being interviewed and lying republican’s usually seem concise.
