ORIGINAL: joether Recall four months ago how the Republicans were going to sue the President of the United States of America? Because he was....ACTUALLY....doing his job (unlike all of the Republicans in Congress). That the law suit was put into play to garner political points from the Republican/Tea Party base in the upcoming election in a week or so. How far is it from Congress to the Federal Courthouse, were this lawsuit would be filed? About a 10 minutes walk. What's the hold up Republicans? Cant walk for 10 minutes? Don't have a working car? Never heard of a bicycle? Can't afford a cab or courier, but can afford multi-million dollar re-election campaigns? No, the reasons are many. The more popular ones are (in no particular order): A ) The President called their bluff because they have...NOTHING...on him. B ) When was the last time we accused the Republican/Tea Party of accomplishing things in the last six years? C ) Those Republican/Tea Party folks running for re-election didn't want the Democratic base to be...HIGHLY...motivated to vote. D ) The Republican 'nobility' is afraid to be seen in public, among the peasants they rule over. Yeah, option 'C' is the most likely of the group. Which shows just how 'tough' Republicans are on the 'issues that matter to their base'. If they cant be 'tough' with the President, why should anyone think they will be tough on any other issue facing the nation? Where did the President "call their bluff?" The article has no mention of it. While the subject of the lawsuit may or may not have merit, anyone who didn't truly think this was more political than anything needs to catch up with the rest of us. Its assuming you have been following events related to this article. And I know you have been. So posting something the President did four months ago, that is freely available didnt seem needed to post...once more! Mr. Speaker made a threat and realized Democrats would benefit more from it then the Republican/Tea Party. So the matter was 'dropped'. Which means two possible events will take place: A ) The matter really has dropped. The lawsuit will slip into American Political History as a weird anomaly (like Ross Perot). B ) The Republicans will restart the lawsuit...AFTER...the election, to show just how dickless they have become. Feeling its 'safe' to 'come out of the closet' and attack the President over even more petty political shit.
