Discussion for article #227025
Clearly, somebody didnāt get the messaging memo and decided to just go with his actual thoughts and opinion.
Koch Bros. conference call in 3ā¦2ā¦1
Heās been āthe voice of reasonā before, but has always had to walk most of it back. We will see how long it takes.
Sanity?
In the GOTP??
By a Representative from Pokiehoma, my home state???
Going back to bed now and will try to sleep it off.
And he didnāt jump around screamin Benghazi???
President Obama said he will not bypass Congressā¦yet they all keep warning him not to bypass Congress ā¦
Are they deaf ?
The Teabaggers in Congress bitched and whined that the Pres needed to get their approval before doing anything. So he does!
Poor little Teabaggers, hatinā life! Pres Obama has them by their tiny, little, wrinkled teabags.
Holy Carp. Whoās he going to have to apologize for THAT?
Obviously he was misquoted and the words he did actually use were used out of context.
See? These are the kinds of radical-liberals-socialists we have in the Republican Party and we need to get rid of ALL of them! Supporting Your Country and Your President, rather than YOUR PARTY is ā¦ well ā¦ itās TREASON!!
The GOP wanted their message to be that the President is bypassing Congress; that was their talking point, and likely still will beā¦trouble is, President Obama made it abundantly clear yesterday that he wonāt be bypassing the Congress in any way. So now the ball is in Congressā court, and reallyā¦the GOP doesnāt want to deal with pesky things like āactuallyā voting on issues of war and peace; they never did want thatā¦they just wanted to bitch about it and complain that the President is acting like an omnipotent ruler that ālikes to lead from behind.ā
In the end, the GOP will undoubtedly find a way to abdicate their responsibility, as they have all along with all their other responsibilities. It divides their caucus of rightwing nutjobs with their caucus of extreme rightwing nutjobs. So donāt expect much from them, especially before any upcoming election. Except for a small minority of warhawks, neocons, and blabbermouthsā¦I canāt see Republicans owning this.
Having to provide a solution to a difficult problem has never been their forteā anyway.
Itās so frustrating listening to these peopleā¦ commonsense should tell you ā there is no one to arm and train in Syria that can fight both ISIL and the Syrian governments military at the same fuckinā time.
Take a picture, a repug with common sense and civility? It wonāt last long.
Yep !
This guy is consistent and reasonable. He understands how politics should work.
He won;t apologize. This guy has been consistent. Heās one of the āreasonableā folks who knows how politics is supposed to work
This guy is very consistent because heās an old timer and knows how politics is supposed to work and doesnāt really give a shit about the other idiots in his party
Somebody doesnāt know much about the Koch brothersā¦The Cato Institute is hardly a shoot first, ask questions later institution.
How much longer are Tom Coleās constituents going to put up with these periodic brazenly sane statements he keeps making?
