I agree.

I think making these issues with, real determination, would gain support more than the go along to get along — but we are more competent approach they use now.

Make it philosophical and real.

I can think of someone referred to in that article who has “earned the right” to bitumen and downy plumage.

And he has earned the right to be prosecuted as a traitor.

Don’t these people understand even a little bit of their Oath Of Office?

As an American citizen have I “earned” the right to be illegal and not pay FICA, Medicare, and payroll taxes yet receive welfare?

All those of you that decided to stay home and teach Republicans a lesson in 2012

Are Boehner, Canto or Ryan, or McCain democrats?

We are reaping what all the purists have sown. A massive 4 MILLION voted for McCain that did not vote for Romney. MCCAIN! I consider him much worse than Romney. Romney wasn't perfect but we wouldn't have had Holder, Jeh Johnson, et al, in positions of power if Romney were in the WH. We wouldn't have had to endure the ‘nuclear option’ in the Senate and the reams of Leftist/Socialist/Communist judges than will now ( and have already been) sailing through the Senate. No, it wouldn't have been as bad, but all you smug anti-Romney people can rest on your happy attitude that ‘you knew better’.

The top three law enforcement officials in the country...all three black. And they have the gall to cry Racism! on a daily basis. Oh, how I despise this bunch.

The damage the Obama administration has done to this country is incalculable.

NEVER forget who voted this vile stench into office...not once, but twice! Never forget who they are. Shun them. Hold them to account.

Unbelievable. And those who try to do it responsibly, and might have a little money saved to pay their own way — are discriminated against.

Smug!!??

Is that what you think of folks who disagree with you? Heard all the arguments before sport. I made my choices and in a state where it didn’t matter one tinker’s damn which way I voted for the Presidential ticket. I could have voted for 0 and I would have been one of millions who did so here, same as with Mitt...the outcome was predetermined here. Get it through that mass you call a skull.

But you know what? I won’t be cowed by arrogant folks like you who dare to attempt to tell me how and who to vote for. Especially ones who respond with ad hominems.

The Congress is selling us out as I type this...Republicans who I believed and trusted, that I voted for are selling us out...just how do you think that makes me feel?

Republicans are voting to support the installation of these vermin all across the board. They are the enemy as well because if they weren’t, they’d be torpedoing those nominations you’re railing about....yet, they aren’t.

Why is that and how would a Republican president have changed that? One who AGREES with amnesty and single payer health care.

Well, alrighty. Does that also mean I can sneak across to Canada or Mexico or Russia and they’ll shower me with freebies and citizenship? Although, by Homeland Security’s own words I can’t understand how being “illegal” earns one anything but a cot in a prison cell.

So does that mean that if I rob a bank, I have "earned the right" to the money?

Next time “plug” a few perps. Much more effective than just a burglar alarm.

Getting rid of it should be a 2016 campaign issue.

No matter who is elected, the likelihood of any of these fascist entities going away is minute.
