Gingrich: If Palin Took Obama Actions, There Would Be Calls for Impeachment


www.newsmax.com
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV Friday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said President Barack Obama’s decision not to fully enforce the Defense of Marriage law could lead to a constitutional crisis as he has directly violated his constitutional duties by arbitrarily suspending a law.

Gingrich slammed Obama for his decision, telling Newsmax that he is not a “one-person Supreme Court” and his decision sets a “very dangerous precedent” that must not be allowed to stand.

Waaa, waaa, waaa. And there would also be calls calling the calls for impeachment ludicrous. So what's the real point here?

The Obama administration said Wednesday that it will no longer defend the federal law that bans the recognition of same-sex marriage because it considers the legislation unconstitutional, a sudden and rare reversal.

He didn't choose to enforce or not enforce or create or not create some illusory law or not law. He simply said, I ain't wasting anymore of anyone's time on this BS. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but that's the gist of it. And for this he probably should be applauded, not impeached, because it is total divisive, time and money wasting BS. Waste of time and money. Got it? Why should his administration have to be distracted and defend defend defend wave after wave of these BS case challenges?

In contrast, I just loved this comment...

"While Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending, the president will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation," said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Boehner.


How dare HE be divisive...see WE are focused on the right things. WE are not the ones challenging the gay marriage BS and wasting anyone's time. HE is the bad one for saying ENOUGH. They're all so full of BS and spin it's a wonder they can walk straight.

Damned either way.

First off, I didn't vote for Obama. Second, he said they were going to stop DEFENDING the challenges. What's that mean to you? Please tell me so I know how to proceed with you from here.

Oh, and I'd feel the same way about any waste of time cases in today's political climate. I think some people just need to get over it, accept some things they might not be in love with, and move on to more pressing issues.

Newt was my elevator debating buddy for a year, so I'm going to be politically "mad" about anything he says.

Lemme find your thread.

Wow, I just love debating in hypothetical threads. A very big If in thread title that means there are no wrong answers.

What troubles me more is that a political party is so hell bent on demonizing those who don't subscribe to their narrow myopic religious views. They want to impose their own bigoted bias in order to prevent a union between two human beings to express the same love and commitment that they themselves enjoy because those individuals happen to have a different sexual orientation.

As far as Obama's actions or lack thereof I'll simply paraphrase Mark Twain:
Obama is exhibiting the calm confidence of a Christian holding four aces.

Now back to the fantasy..........
