        Colorado got rid of Tancredo. He is all yours other 49 states.

        Fast and furious was the shrub's and Solyndra is private enterprise, but not like Haliburton. Hypocrisy on the right should be high crimes and misdemeanors. It didn't work out so well for Nixon.

              It was never turned down. Perhaps if you take your time to read, you'd know that they wanted more info before they put money into it. And pushed it back to 2009 for approval. From what's been posted online at about every place, it's the SAME people from the Bush administration who approved it under Obama.

              The Bush administration also stood idly by as China started their extortion on rare earth minerals needed to make solar panels.This is something that dooms solar energy projects anywhere in the world but China.....This is a vital hill to take in the China USA economic,and energy war.....The right thing for the USA to do is to fully arm by building,and developing a world class rare earth industry...This will make solar panel,computer screen,and flat screen TV production economically viable,and able to with stand competition from anywhere in the world......Today China has taken control of this industry that is both economically,and militarily strategic to the USA..China has dared anyone to do anything about it.............A few days ago key players in developing rare earth projects in Canada went down in a plane crash.....Accident????

        I respectfully disagree. I believe that the Fairy Tale News Channel has been pushing for his impeachment since at least as far back as the results of the first Democratic debate.

          I'm afraid it's "Boy who cried wolf" syndrome at this point boxtop.


          If these accusations don't get the traction you think they should, you have only yourself and your fellow conservative echo chamber residents to blame for encouraging them. Just as much blame as the conservative media machine for promoting an endless string of fake scandals and smears.

      There are people here who complain,and call people posting here stuff like Obama-bots...This is a site that high-lights conservative media mis-information....99% of the mis-information propaganda fox news,and republican party radio put out is about or connected to President Obama some kind of way.....It is very difficult to refute conservative media mis-information that is 99% mis-information concerning President Obama and not defend him.Because this is the nature of the beast known as fox news, republican party radio,republican party internet,and news papers.

        VERY WELL SAID.It is unfortunate that there is so much mis-information for Media Matters to report on every day.It shows that the misinformation is intentional and planned.Also there is no downside to doing it because fellow right wingers/conservatives/Republicans rarely criticize their own and the so called liberal-biased,mainstream media does litle to refute most of it.The media has been so scared silly from the right wing atack of "in the tank" for Obama, that they report every negative attack on him as if it had validity.Look at the Death Panels nonsense,birtherism and even the irresponsible charges from Perry and Romney this week on the Obama Israel policies.The Israeli prime minister proclaims a badge of honor for the POTUS a day after he is accused of appeasement by his fellow Americans Bachmann,Bolton, Palin,et al all chimed in to support Perry/Romney.The media should be chastising them all for their unpatriotic,disrespectful,dangerous behavior regarding foreign policy!Instead there is virtual silence.Let's see if the Sunday talk show hosts call any one out on this at all!Of course no one expects FOX to do that!

          Like I said above in a post responding to drive by poster boxtop:

          Calls for impeachment at this point are like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" fable.

          These right wing media interests focus their entire existence on bashing the democratic party structure from the top down, and then pretend anyone who disputes or calls them on their misinformation must be just as partisan and "thinks Obama can do no wrong".

          Conversely, every new and absurd bash, invented scandal, fake outrage, pet concern that isn't taken up immediately by the slightly less conservative mainstream corporate press is "proof that they're in the tank for Obama."

          I think however, we're starting to see the Obama derangement syndrome hit a critical mass. The villagers (American people) have come running far too many times only to see the boy (conservative media) has tricked and frightened them without an actual wolf to be seen.

      I asked a Con who is clueless but speaks in Fox headlines if he would really like to see Obama impeached..Without hesitation, the answer was YES, YES.
      When I then suggested that Hilary Clinton would be the next President in a landslide, he hesitated and immediately attack Obama. I reminded him that Hilary would NEVER put up with the lies and bs of the Repubs and he did agree.

      No matter what happens, my Con parrot now has something to think about.

      Jason Mattera says (7:36) "The Democratic Party as a whole has demonstrated contempt for the Constitution." LOL, it's Republicans who show their contempt for the US Constitution by trying to repeal the 14th, 16th, 19th and other Amendments TAKE away the right to citizenship by birth on American soil, the right to sue for malpractice, the right to elect your own Senator, etc.!

      The only Constitutional Amendment ever repealed was the 18th by the 21st via President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Democrat) to give Americans back the right to legally consume alcoholic beverages! Every year, the DNC should run commercials for Saint Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, and the Super Bowl that says “This Beer brought to you by the Democratic Party!” to remind Americans how great the Democratic Party is!!

        Sure, Jason. That's why it was the Democratic Party that

        - outed a covert CIA agent
        - fixed intel as a pretext for invasion
        - tried to suspend habeas corpus
        - attempted to expand the powers of the presidency {the "Unitary Executive"}

Of all the things Republican presidents have done, how come none have ever been impeached? Why don't the Democrats do something about this, because this, what Fox News is doing, is wrong.

        True! Haven't these Foxoids learned that some technical legal blah blah blah won't stir up the ire of the American people as much as a salacious and steamy sex allegation?

        If starting an illegal war, compromising a CIA agent for political reasons, and gross incompetence that leads to unnecessary death during a natural disaster won't get you impeached, it would stand to reason you need to "get lucky" to get impeached in America these days.

        Yes, and it looks like in order to keep it, they'll have to install another republican in the White House. Since the republican majority in Congress, and the majority of republican Governors have done nothing, and the field of republican presidential candidates is a contest of greedy, extremists...

      Really folks, it takes an awful lot of sand for a network that licked the spittle off Dick Cheney's chin and tongued Bush's boots shiny to whine about Obama. Not only should Bush and Cheney have been impeached but they should have been indicted on war crimes charges and shipped the the War Crimes Tribunal; that is, if the US wished to maintain any credibility on the world stage. Sadly, the only credibility the US has these days is based on military power. We walked away from the moral high ground quite a while ago and Bush/Cheney simply pulled the dirt in on top of all of us. If there was any doubt about this all one need do is watch Mr. Obama's recent performance in front of the US. Is he the president of the USA or a Likud politician. Sorry but I couldn't tell the difference and it would appear that FOXNews didn't concern itself much with the speech.

Oh, yeah, Al Quaida put together a plan to attack the U.S. Let's take the presidents eye off the ball again for a year while our country is teetering on the edge of economic collapse. Brilliant Mr. Tancredo. Actually none of these things Tancredo mentioned was what got him upset. What got him upset was the speech to raise taxes on the wealthiest Amercians and he is just going crazy. Fortunately for the President he has about 75 percent of the American people on his side on this one.
