>>You realize the bulk of the foreign aid for Egypt will be passed by the Congress - that includes the Republican House.<<

You realize that nothing is official until Obama puts his pen to it? Since he is the final authority, per the U.S. Constitution, he is the one committing treason. Which he already did.

>>And you sound ridiculous spouting a dumb story from The Western Center for Journalism. Obama asking Morsi to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas is not treason you buffoon. Even the person that wrote that article made sure to say it was just treason in his book.<<

That’s because his book is the same as my book. The U.S. Constitution. You should read it sometime. And it is treason... you baffoon.

>>That is a policy issue, and one most Republicans seem content to go along with. Again, are all the House Republicans who are going to pass the military aid to Egypt traitors too? <<

You’re lying... again. Here’s how it first went down per the NYT.

U.S. Move to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid Meets Resistance
By STEVEN LEE MYERS
Published: September 28, 2012 331 Comments

The Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it would provide Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the aid immediately encountered resistance from a prominent lawmaker wary of foreign aid and Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.

An influential Republican lawmaker, Representative Kay Granger of Texas, immediately announced that she would use her position as chairwoman of the House appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign aid to block the distribution of the money. She said the American relationship with Egypt “has never been under more scrutiny” than it is in the wake of the election of President Mohamed Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.

“I am not convinced of the urgent need for this assistance and I cannot support it at this time,” Ms. Granger said in a statement that her office issued even before the administration announced the package.”

Obama has comitted treason. I gave you a list of twelve. There are more.

My offer stands. Admit you’re a lib troll and I’ll leave you be.

Look tardbilly, if Congress passes a bill and Obama signs it, how do you figure it's just treason for Obama and not the legislatures that also approved it. We have 3 coequal branches of government you moron. By your standard Congress is guilty of treason for voting for aid to Egypt.

That’s because his book is the same as my book. The U.S. Constitution. You should read it sometime. And it is treason... you baffoon.

No sane person thinks that's treason. Obama is most certainly allowed to ask Morsi to broker deals. He can also ask the government of Pakistan to broker deals, or the any other hostile government.

You’re lying... again. Here’s how it first went down per the NYT.

Listen bonehead, that money was already appropriated by Congress:

The $1 billion in assistance has been cobbled together from funds already appropriated by Congress, but the administration is required to notify lawmakers of its intention to release any of the funds.

Do you understand what that means dingbat? Congress approved of Obama spending that money, which is why you don't hear anyone in Congress calling it treason. Your own article proves you wrong.

Further the bulk of the money that goes to Egypt is from the regular foreign aid bill. It's around 2 billion with approximately 1.3 billion in military assistance. Congress approves that every year, and will continue to approve that for the foreseeable future. There is no treason there.

My offer stands. Admit you’re a lib troll and I’ll leave you be.

Every time you post and I destroy your arguments, it just proves my point that conspiracy theorists like you have nothing serious to add to the debate. When I find you people I kind of enjoy highlighting your idiocy. That's kind of why I've let you change the subject and avoid talking about your support for Alex Jones and belief in truther conspiracies. Every movement has rotten apples, and it's important to show why folks like you need to be weeded out.
