(8,821 posts)Racist Republicans and their media shills will never rest until they have driven the first African-American President from office. They simply can not allow him to complete a second term without impeachment. Their very sense of self-worth is at stake, based as it is on the illusion they are better than others because of having lighter skin color. President Obama, being what he is and who he is, throws that nonsense belief into the trash can of history, where it clearly deserves to be.
At the behest of their obscenely wealthy campaign contributors, other Republicans also encourage these racist Obama-haters, because they fear his Presidency may result in some new laws and regulations designed to crimp the one percent's plans for gaining control over the rest of our nation's wealth.
Neither group gives a damn about the truth or about what might be best for our country. They are committed to ending the Obama Presidency any way possible, and no matter what the cost.

(8,821 posts)There is a powerful backlash building against what these Republicans want to do. When it hits, it will crush them as a political party. They have allowed their far right wing to lead them into self-destructive extremism. They have threatened and harmed too many people and institutions. The Republican leadership has outraged too many voters who once followed them. This level of insult and injury to the vast majority of Americans will not be forgotten, and it will not be forgiven.

(5,279 posts)If our current political...situation....had been written by Mel Brooks and released as a movie after "Blazing Saddles" the entire population of movie critics would have issued a resounding cry of Bullshit. The stupidity of the republican characters would have been slammed as too slapstick to be in a Mel Brooks movie. The running joke of the "Benghazi incident" would be described by Henny Youngman as monotonous.
The Republican party of 1974 could have sued Mr. Brooks for libel and had a good chance of winning. A jury watching the Chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology submit a bill disavowing peer review and repeating research to confirm results would be seen as unbelievable and hurtful.
