Total political stunt.

"Look at the Republicans protecting their rich masters!"

Meanwhile, they know their base won't care that they're blatantly trying to take money from a specific group of people to freely give it to another.

Considering how much the gov't has contributed to inflating college costs, I say thought ought to allow the refi and the losses can get taken out of Congressional and White House paychecks for the next few decades.

This looks like huge evidence that there is a major coverup happening. A crashed computer will not cause emails to be lost from an email server.

I find it ironic that federal regulations require companies to retain their emails for however many years, but they supposedly lost theirs because her PC crashed.

Way too many tech savvy people now to try to pull that one off.

Boner plans to sue B. Rock. For something.
But Boehner didn’t say which action he attended to challenge. In a memo to House colleagues, Boehner wrote that ‘On one matter after another during his presidency, President Obama has circumvented the Congress through executive action, creating his own laws and excusing himself from executing statutes he is sworn to enforce - at times even boasting about his willingness to do it, as if daring the American people to stop him.’

Boner doesn't even remember who they people of this country are. I'm sure he knows all the rich dudes in his district really well, though.

McCain versus every other pachyderm.
Speaking to reporters last week, CIA Director John Brennan said that the question of whether that information could have been obtained without brutal interrogation sessions was "unknowable."

Fucking Rumsfeld, Jr., ladies and gentlemen.

The top Republican on the Intelligence Committee, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Georgia, cited the case of Abu Zubaydah, a Saudi Arabian citizen and al Qaeda operative who was captured in Pakistan in March, 2002. He was one of the three detainees the CIA says it subjected to waterboarding. Chambliss said that 766 actionable intelligence reports were written off of the information he provided during interrogation sessions.

So we got this one dude saying that brutality is perfectly ok so long as the benefits are sufficient. Total days spent as a POW: 0.

If you fucking beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the goddamn Chicago fire, now that don't necessarily make it fucking so!

- Nice Guy Eddie Cabot

McCain, who was tortured after being taken prisoner during the Vietnam War, has opposed the use of torture on American detainees. He said the practices "fly in the face of everything that America values and stands for."

Whoa. You mean that if your values mutate and transform in the face of pressure, then they ultimately don't mean shit? If you need a separate set of fundamental precepts for war time versus peace time, enemies versus friends, then you're a tool? Ah, who to believe ... what a conundrum.

Altogether, McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years. He was released on March 14, 1973. His wartime injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head.

What a conundrum. Good job, Republicans.

Angry old man with shotgun responds. Total days spent as a POW: 0. Tied with Saxby Chambliss.

I don't think the majority of Americans give a rat's ass about the torture stuff.

I agree. Hell, sometimes I don't think they care what's happening to US citizens, much less foreign captured POWs.

I think there's a sizeable minority that do care, but only because it's related to the things they already hate about the NSA and the FCC.

Hell they gave me 1,000 dollars, a better job a pat on the head and a dozen Hostess Ding Dongs. All just for turning all your asses in to the government.
What do you mean most Americans don't give a shit.

Someone needs to tell Scott Walker to shut the fuck up, or at least hire a better PR firm.

Ben Carson, expert on human psychology and sexuality:
The Baltimore neurosurgeon made the outlandish claims to television host Chris Cuomo on a segment of CNN’s morning show “New Day” after the anchor asked if he thought people had control over their sexual orientation, during a discussion about same-sex marriage.

“Absolutely,” Carson began his bizarre argument. “Because a lot of people who go into prison — go into prison straight, and when they come out they’re gay. So did something happen while they were in there?”

I think I am at the point where my disdain for Democrats is not enough to keep me voting for Republicans.
