Doesn’t matter and I don’t care who these people are.

You should. They are the extreme far left of federal elective office holders. You have in essence aligned yourself with them.

Can these delinquent lawmakers be removed from office or have their pay docked for dereliction of duty? Are they truly representing their constituents?

Are they racists and anti Semites?

Is seems odd that our elected representatives have the option to ignore meetings or events they do not like. Or are they the kind of people who say "I am against the war but I support our troops?"

Congress is a coequal branch of government. Congress does not need Obama’s approval to invite someone to speak in front of Congress.

It is not at all a sideshow and will deal with THE most important issue of the time: Iran’s nuclear capability.

Did you feel this way when Angela Merkel addressed Congress?

Both Netanyahu and Boehner have made crystal clear that this speech will move forward. This is the most important issue of our time, and it’s life or death not only for Israel but the US as well.

Congress as a co-equal branch of the government is just as much a part of the “US” as the executive branch.

And by the way, I get a kick out of how when Rats are in the WH, the MSM always refers to them as the “US”. When our guys are in the WH, it’s always Bush this or Bush that. Those of us with memories longer then 6 years remember that all too well.

GOP president = Republican administration

Dem president = American government

Israel/Netanyahu bashers use the same trick here on FR.

No, the important issue is defending American, stopping illegal immigration and Obama’s unconstitutional actions. Boehner, for example, has surrendered on this. Using Israel as distraction for his white-flag to Obama. Pathetic and sad that too many conservatives, like lemmings, keep going for the routine.
