Rubio is not a “bad” guy, but he is disappointing as a tea party candidate. So is Rand Paul and Tom Cotton, and a few others. I know it is very difficult to judge one’s character, but there are some people who really have a knack for it. We need these kinds of people working within the network that can sift out those who talk the talk, but don’t walk it. That takes time. But it is a necessary thing. If we don’t vet these candidates better, we’ll have more egg on our face than an omelet. Personally, I’m getting very frustrated with those who want tea party support, but then want us to keep away from them after they are in office...the “let us alone” crowd...that once elected, have better things to do than keep their promises. You will always have a few losers, but they need not be the majority. We can do better.
Refusing to vote for the lesser of two evils, by definition, supports greater evil.
Check out Ted Cruz. He's not afraid.
“The Founders intended the representative of the people and states, in Congress, to be in ultimate control of the government.”
The impeachment process is intended to determine whether or not the impeached government officer may continue in a government office with its attendant powers and authority, but it is not intended to provide criminal trial and punishment for criminal felonies beyond the punishment of removal from office.
IIRC, Shapiro was an undergrad in 2008.
If he is not IMPEACHED and REMOVED first, the muzzie bastard would have no qualms starting a war to "punish us". Look what he is doing to Arizona with the criminal illegal aliens.

True.
Should note that even if legally justified, pursuing an impeached or term-expires president with criminal charges would have serious negative long-term consequences for the country. Might very well not be worth it except in the most extreme circumstances.
Clause 2 referenced above gives Congress the power to override presidential vetoes if 2/3 of both Houses agree to do so. In other words, Congress could repeal constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare without Obama's signature if patriots and former Obama supporters got their acts together and elected the right people to Congress in 2014, 2010 and 2012 being missed opportunities.
And although there are doom-and-gloom freepers who argue that a split Congress could never override a president's veto, Congress has exercised Clause 2 as recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also with Clinton.

But so-called "conservative" celebrities like Beck, Shapiro, and Obama guard dog Fx News remain silent about Clause 2 which isn't helping the nation.
Ben is one of our best, protege of Andrew Breitbart.
Now it’s full-steam...
I agree.
Your clock ends with the 2016 election. Unfortunately, nobama will continue to wreak havoc with our precious country until around 1pm on Jan 20, 2017.
And that time may be the most dangerous time. That is traditionally when exiting presidents issue pardons and make all sorts of last minute proclamations, etc.
No ones going to do anything about our turd.
I have a feeling that 0 has already thought about that possibility.
Using my powers of executive privilege, I hereby, pardon and or absolve any members of my administration, including residents of the White House, of any legal liability after I have completed my tenure as president.
A few months ago, The Daily Caller posted an article on the internal executive power struggle at Breitbart.
One of the their senior executives had boasted, at an earlier time, that he had voted for Obama in 2008.
I suddenly remembered that as I was about to post on this thread.
Is Shapiro the Obama-voter or not?
My pleasure.
