Nixon: ‘if the President does it, it isn’t illegal’

Was it Jeffrey Toobin (Leftist lawyer and commenter) that said ‘Obama is the President that Nixon wanted to be’. Bammy’s lawlessness is destroying our country. And NO ONE is trying to stop him.

I've been watching the show over the weekend, and the events and circumstances portrayed could never happen in the real world.

With that said, Underwood is behaving like a liberal caricature of a Republican with his rhetoric and motivations, and so the dialogue is not a compliment to libertarianism at all, but just a plot device to portray him as even more evil to a liberal audience.

I got the impression after the staff meeting where these issues were brought up, his main goal was to get funding for his own pet government jobs program, because he originally diverted money from FEMA, but had to stop raiding.

Long story and I don’t want to ruin if for others, but he needs the entitlement money for his own entitlements.

Season 3 is a crashing bore so far. One policy wonk speech after another. Characters hold press conferences, plead before the Supreme Court, pontificate at the UN, give endless toasts at state dinners, or address the nation on TV. And I’m only on Episode 4.

Speeches are the epitome of Lazy Writing.

Oh and, let’s set a bunch of scenes at the United Nations! Because THAT’S entertainment! What’s in store for Season 5? The inner workings of the Department of Agriculture?

I say lets close down the entitlements. Lets not forget then to stop taxing me AND give me the money back that I put into the entitlement system my whole working life. Otherwise shut up and pay me what's due. The system is going bankrupt because the government is spending the money I am putting in on buying votes through other government programs and replacing the money with more IOU's. It started with LBJ and his great society crap. And the Republicans and Democrats keep perpetuating this mantra of belt tightening is needed to prevent a collapse.

So Republicans stop selling me the crap that I need to sacrifice, you sound more like Democrats when you do that.
