Oh man, I'm debating a troll, a private in an armed militia. Is there a bigger waste of time?
Boring. Going climbing.

Tried to tell you that cranx
You'll never outlast him, this is all he has
You'll never out-crazy him either
Or beat him in a battle of wits, he has none
He's angrier than you, more stubborn, thoroughly brainwashed, and he has an endless supply of talking points
If he's wrong he'll just change the subject or ramp up the infantile personal attacks
And he can do this ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.

You really should get out, Crankster.
The right-winger tag-team has made a real monkey out of you, keeping you indoors for the last few beautiful June days. Every few minutes - dozens of times a day - they've compelled you to post something here on this thread, when you should be out enjoying life.

He told AMERICA,, you can keep your helathcare- one of the loudest lies ive heard. Ive been PAYING for mine and STILL dont have it.
Bullsh#t. If you've PAID. You HAVE IT. You simply don't understand your coverage.
Why have none of us "lefties" had a problem? You're probably being targeted because of your Bundyville treason. The price of Patriotism.

Ah I love it when the Never Served throw them that went in harms way right under the f*#king bus, no trial, nothing.
Same damn attitude that got those men sent to and then forgotten in Afghanistan in the first place.
I promise you - bluering et al did not know there was a last man IN Afghanistan. And they call themselves Patriot?
I'll spit on the ground at your feet.
Nice of you to pass judgement on me. I remember when this as#@&%e bailed, and based on his buddies' accounts, he should have been left behind. He's a deserter, or worse.

And just so we're clear, Jimmy, I don't do retail repairs.
I keep film studios, recording studios, and broadcasters like CNN doing business with our gear.
I don't ever claim to be a "needed", but I do fulfill a need. If I were un-needed, I would be expendable. But I'm not, apparently.
In fact, my big boss flies in from Ireland tomorrow. Should be interesting.

In that video, Bergdahl looked to be in a hell of a lot better shape than Dr F.
That "medical emergency" excuse for going around Congress was just bullsh#t.

Ron said: "and at Couch, there are about an easy hundred other reasons why i dislike obumbly. But i see you full endorse the breaking of laws. Gonna go rob a bank today are ya? Why not,, laws dont really apply right.? Just come up with a convenient excuse and see how that works for YOU."
I agree that the President uses weasel clauses to do what he wants. But they are weasel clauses and were put in the laws for a reason. IN THIS CASE, although I haven't read the actual law that you think he broke, as I understand it, the law congress drafted and the President signed indicating that he would consult congress in any guantanamo trades, HAD SUCH CLAUSES. Thus, although he broke the spirit of the law, he actually followed the letter of the law.
ie, no lawbreaking in this instance as you say Ron.
He does use similar laws and weasel justification to conduct a drone war, which, unfortunately, specifically has targeted Americans and kills them without judicial review. You want to get wound up over that, I could see it, over a single deserter: meh. Let the process work (ie, military justice). Aren't their bigger fish to fry?
Wonder if Norton, Crankster, glanton and their ilk will finally get wound up over it when the next Geo Bush jr gets elected President and the killings continue?

Send the drones for the terrorist regardless of citizenship. Fine with me.
Bush Jr.? Ain't gonna happen. Doubt the crazies in your party are going to approve that. Even though he's 10x smarter than his bro.

Fox News' Juan Williams obliterates GOPers for 'craven' flip-flop on Bergdahl
Fox News contributor Juan Williams on Sunday took Republicans to task for allegedly flip-flopping on the prisoner swap that freed Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Williams accused some Republicans of pooh-poohing the deal despite having previously clamored for Bergdahl's release. And pushing back against suggestions that Bergdahl did not deserve a celebratory reception, Williams said it was up to the military to decide, "not us sitting here on this panel and not all the political people on the Republican side who have flip-flopped — flip-flopped in the most craven way." --Jon Terbush

Great stuff, dr. Problem is, once the righties make up their talking points they don't let things like facts change them.

Rancid, yes the right wing is rancid.
It’s hard not to be cynical after the display of rancid partisanship that greeted the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after five years as a Taliban-held prisoner of war. The Greatest Generation would not have acted this way.
Yes, Obama could certainly have handled the situation better. It’s fair to question the optics of the Rose Garden ceremony announcing Bergdahl’s freedom, to wonder why the administration did not acknowledge upfront the ambiguities surrounding his tour of duty and to ask why Congress wasn’t alerted to the deal the administration was negotiating.
But what’s truly astounding is how many Republicans raced to turn Obama’s commitment to bringing home a POW into an outrage. It tells us something that so many GOP politicians first tweeted warmly about the good news, only to take their tweets down and replace them with the party line that we never negotiate with terrorists, that Obama had endangered the nation, etc.
Four months ago, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said he could support the kind of trade Obama made to get Bergdahl back. When it happened, McCain declared, “I would have not made this deal.” McCain is a national hero who spent more than five years in captivity during the Vietnam War. He may have let his unhappiness with Obama’s overall Afghanistan policy get the best of him.
And there is no defense for the rush to judgment on Bergdahl’s own behavior. Those who served with him and are angry with him because they believe he walked away from his base have every right to challenge what Bergdahl did and insist upon accountability. But why can’t commentators safe in their studios and offices have the decency to withhold their verdicts until all the facts are in? Bergdahl volunteered to fight for his country. This should at least earn him the chance to explain himself before the pundit mob descends.
