There has been no crime committed anywhere. You may disagree with many of his decisions, but none of them have been illegal. You had your opportunity to get rid of him a few months ago. He won. The bar for impeachment is very high. You have to wait for an actual crime to be committed before you can screech about impeachment.

I was unclear whether the intended meaning, such as it was, was he gets things passed, or he gets things past [not sure past whom]. But it's always a guessing game when people don't take the trouble to make themselves clear.

To make the past tense of regular verbs, the ending -ed is added to the infinitive ('I asked her a question').

flyboyUT Champion Author Utah Posts:22,791 Points:1,008,710 Joined:Aug 2008	Message Posted: Jan 17, 2013 10:33:02 PM Ignore flyboyUT Report Abuse Jay - The map another person made for Palin's political campaign used a standard symbol that I saw on many USGS and USFS maps long before this became a political football. Yes she did use provacative phraseology. If you choose you can say the standard map symobl is also a crosshair - but on a map it doesnt denote that to me. But Marty just doesnt seem to get tthe message - or he chooses not to. I hope he understands math symbols a whole lot better than he understands map symbols. Because saying a Plus symbol (+) really means to incite riot or whatever doesnt make sense to him - nor should it because here as in the map symbol - used in the context of their subject they are just symbols. Ahhh Marty - maps usually dont have 'bulleyes' on them. Call them what they really are. [Edited by: flyboyUT at 1/17/2013 10:37:39 PM EST]

noseatbelt Champion Author Indiana Posts:7,613 Points:205,050 Joined:Feb 2004	Message Posted: Jan 17, 2013 5:07:45 PM Ignore noseatbelt Report Abuse It is a dumb thing to do, but I remember liberals saying the same thing about bush, probably some of the same ones that are complaining about it now. As far as obama doing something illegal, he is border line on some things, and there is a good chance that he might cross the line before he is done.

YDraigGoch Champion Author Illinois Posts:7,346 Points:86,435 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: Jan 16, 2013 8:26:44 PM Ignore YDraigGoch Report Abuse Probably for the same reason we had the same screams about Bush. Angry, spoiled children of privilege throwing temper tantrums because everything does not go their way. The ME! ME! ME! crowd. The ones who heat up the rhetoric so much that everyone is on edge. The ones who incite others to do SOMETHING! ANYTHING is better than THIS. Don't you know that some people with mental problems see that as permission to go out and start shooting people? "Hey, the nice people in that political group said it's all right. They are mad, I'm mad, so it must be OK to be mad, and do something about it." Will you idiots please tone it down, and start acting like adults? Before some other madmen takes you at your word and kills some more people? PLEASE???
