Bipartisan Congress rebuffs Obama on Libya mission

The Boehner-led Republicans are shameful and weak!

Worse than shameful. They're supposed to be conservatives. They're "RepubliCAPONS". Sickening.

[lonevoice]

I just read elsewhere that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was one of the 87 Republicans that voted with LTC Allen West in favor of Kucinich's resolution to withdraw troops from Libya. I don't know how to find a list of all the Republicans who voted with West and Bachmann, but I'd hope to see our entire Tea Party caucus there. There aren't enough of them yet, but 87 is a good start.

Replace Boehner NOW!

Can’t say it hasn’t crossed my mind .. and in some cases, the action, pattern, communication tone and/or further background info may have lent some credence to that.

Generally though, they’re good eggs .. much freely given site monitoring, which is important for FR .. actually vital.

But in this case, 3 people posted basically the same info ..2 using the Drudge headline for the article title with the WTimes link and copy. I don’t understand why GVnana’s at 2:48, with the WTimes url and text, is an improper thread, and it was on before this one, yet because of the Drudge language, it’s id’d as duplicate to one that was posted quite awhile afterward at 3:26.

???

Would like clarity on the policy and reasoning so we know for the future: what’s the policy and logic ... Drudge headlines with linked info and copy not allowed ? What do WE need to know about that before we spend the time to post?

[STARWISE]

It shows 2:48 on mine and then 3:26 for this thread. Time zone, I guess.

[headstamp 2]

I WON!

Bohner is proving to be no Wiener.

[combat_boots]

What actual evidence do we have that a supposedly Constitutional lawyer POTUS follows the US Constitution?

The Libya action and other wars’ funds will be the next battle in which 0bama holds our guys hostage so he can get something that he wants passed...........

That's a good one. Mine is not to call the enemy "progressives" because everybody wants progress. I call them progressivists to make clear that I'm talking about a political agenda.

[melancholy]

this is why I call them R E P U B L I C A N ‘ T S

Parallel to the old Alka Seltzer commercial:

Try R E P U B L I C A P O N S, you'll like it!

I don't think there's any conspiracy about this one, guys. I confess, it may actually be my "fault".

I had just written a response on Starwise's thread, and when I pushed the "post" button, I got the message that the thread had been deleted as a duplicate. The admin message on the deleted thread had a link to this thread (by xtinct) in the breaking news sidebar. So I wrote another response on this thread. Then when I hit "post", and returned to the main page, I saw yet another thread, the one by GVnana. I started to post my response for the third time on the third thread, but thought "this is crazy!" So I reported to a moderator that there were three threads on this one breaking news story, that it was confusing, and could we just keep the one in the breaking news sidebar (that would be this one)? About a minute later GVnana's thread went poof. I'm sorry I didn't check the timestamps first...I was frustrated. Forgive me?

[TomGuy]

So we know for future reference, are Drudge headlines with the linked article and url now not acceptable?

The moderators worketh in mysterious ways -- and they have been doing so for years.

[SatinDoll]

No forgiveness necessary, sweetie.

Many of us have been posting for years and have encountered the same situation. It can be confusing, and I, for one, never rag on another for such things.

[STARWISE]

Yeth .. fluthtrating....

;)

[STARWISE]

No problem ...

We’re not the ‘deciders’ ... LOL ..

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks xtinct.

Crossing party lines to deliver a stunning rebuke to the commander in chief, the vast majority of the House voted Friday for resolutions telling President Obama he has broken the constitutional chain of authority by committing U.S. troops to the international military mission in Libya... "He has a chance to get this right. If he doesn't, Congress will exercise its constitutional authority and make it right," said House Speaker John A. Boehner, the Ohio Republican who wrote the resolution that passed, 268-145...

Thanks for the ping. Here’s some more good news (/s):

WASHINGTON—A White House official says President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner will play a round of golf together later this month.

Obama and Boehner — both avid golfers — will hit the links June 18. No word on where the round will take place, or whether they’ll be joined by any colleagues.

Just one more Boehner failure. He is the epitomy of a RINO whore. The Marxists were lucky to emplace him in the House. But his time will come to an end.

It’s time to rev up the Tea Parties again. RINOs like Boehner need to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

This Libya vote opens the door to Onada’s impeachment. We need to go to Washington in great numbers to establish where the real power is in this country. Who’ll step up to the plate with me?

[porter_knorr]

I cannot believe I’m in the same camp on kucinich on something, although our reasons are probably very different.

[taraytarah]

roughly three-quarters of the House voted to put Mr. Obama on notice that he must explain himself or else face future consequences, possibly including having funds for the war cut off.

He has to "explain himself" or what?? THIS is the consequence??? Increasingly, this saboteur does whatever he wants, and all they can do is "punish" him with a hand-slap and "no-no?"

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

If these bipartisans have enough brass balls to stop o’gopher then this could be the VERY BRICK that takes down & exposes the fraud being committed in the WH .

I’m so praying that it’s not funny.
