As most of us have heard, General David Petraeus resigned as CIA head yesterday. He had previously been investigated by the FBI, where they had allegedly discovered that he had had an affair with a West Point graduate, Paula Broadwell, who was writing his biography; during the course of the affair, he apparently provided her with access to his Agency e-mail account.
Once this was discovered, even though there was a severe security breach involved, Petraeus did not immediately resign, according to individuals within the FBI. Instead, for political reasons, the White House delayed his resignation until after the presidential election. This potentially placed our entire intelligence network at risk, with a private individual having access to such important data.
It is likely that the delay in his resignation will be investigated by the House to determine if President Obama’s political decision was a dereliction of his duty as Commander in Chief. Who knows where this may lead eventually? We will find out the next step this week when the House investigation of the Benghazi affair begins.
Here is a video of Broadwell interviewed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show earlier this year:

If only it could happen, but of course it won’t. Time to move on from the election, let the fiscal cliff crash, leave the debt ceiling where it is and begin to pay back the future generations that our liberal policies have been stealing from. It’s just sex.

From your lips, Patrick, to Cantor’s ears. I don’t share your confidence, tho.

Hey, if Clinton can be impeached for lying Barry sure as hell can be.
I’d break my sobriety and toss one back just to see that.
Then again, I may not recover with Biden at the helm.

You can only impeach when you have the votes. The Republicans don’t have enough votes in Congress so let’s get on to a serious subject.

They are Still Using the RACE CARD all day, every day.
There is evidence of massive election fraud also, but they will hose anyone who tries to make something of it with Racism.
Look at Chris Matthews behavior just before the election.

“You can only impeach when you have the votes. The Republicans don’t have enough votes in Congress so let’s get on to a serious subject. ”
If enough gets uncovered in the next two years,and Barry keeps his schedule of screw-ups we just might have those votes.

“Evidence of massive voter fraud”.
Where?
November 12th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
“Where?”
They learned from ACORN to not be so high profile.
We’ll start with our overseas troops being disenfranchised by liberals messing with their early and absentee registrations/ballots.
We talked about it right here about a month ago.

A truly alternate reality.
November 12th, 2012 at 8:35 pm
Yeah right
“While Obama denies any involvement in suppressing the military vote, it is hard to ignore the simple fact that the military was obstructed from voting in 2012. According to studies conducted by the Military Voter Protection Project and AMVETS Legal Clinic at Chapman University, the number of requests for absentee ballots from the military fell below the already low numbers seen in 2008. Large numbers of soldiers did not receive the form they needed to acquire their absentee ballot.
The statistics on the military vote in the recent election are alarming. Prior to election day, the Military Voter Protection Project released the following statistics and reached a disturbing conclusion:”

NBC Evening News with Brian Williams…
Six minutes dedicated to the Petraeus affair.
Zero minutes on the four murders in Benghazi.
I thought the Petraeus affair would force the liberal media to focus on the administrations abject failures of intel, communications and failure to identify the enemy ?
Only in an alternate universe would the media focus on two people screwing before focusing on four people being murdered.

By the way, you’re kidding with that link, right?
That article wasn’t even trying to be objective.
The Inquisitir?
This is reminiscent of the whole voting nonsense discussed on this site a few months ago, which was riddled with misinformation and even when presented with the facts, many simply couldn’t grasp the nonsense that there was voter suppression.
Read this article in USA Today for a more accurate discussion.

The Inquisitir? Sorry, I already mentioned that, but it had to mentioned twice. Did you read the article? Did it past the “smell test” to you?

How about those 59 precincts in Philadelphia that voted 100% of all ballots for Obama? Not even Saddam Hussein could get 100%! I guess we know where some of that ’street money’ went from Obama’s $1 Billion dollar war-chest.
November 13th, 2012 at 10:00 am
Right, they’re going to attempt voter fraud in overwhelmingly black districts.
November 13th, 2012 at 10:03 am
Also, if you look at the stats for those 59 (out of 1,687 precincts) in 2008 McCain generally got 0-5 votes.
If they’re going to attempt voter fraud, I don’t think they’d go for overwhelmingly blue areas!
November 13th, 2012 at 11:35 am
“If they’re going to attempt voter fraud, I don’t think they’d go for overwhelmingly blue areas! ”
Your assuming these people have brains ?
November 13th, 2012 at 11:41 am
I’ll give you an example.
Increased tobacco taxes were to pay for SCHIP.
Tobacco is to expensive now, so much fewer people buy it.
Only moonbats could give a clearer example of how to go screw yourself and everyone else in the line.
November 13th, 2012 at 12:10 pm
““If they’re going to attempt voter fraud, I don’t think they’d go for overwhelmingly blue areas! ”
Your assuming these people have brains ?”
I believe the assumption is that “these people” without brains utilized data mining and voter targeting to great effect and it had a great influence on revenue allotment, and ultimately, the election.
November 13th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Here, grasshopper, once again, let me clarify by elaboration.
You morons enacted legislation of taxation on tobacco to pay for government subsidized childrens healthcare.
The first mistake was that you decreased the amount of smokers by pricing tobacco out of range for the majority of smokers. Thereby decreasing the revenues you thought you’d actually create.
The second mistake is the redundancy created in gubermint healthcare by trying to maintain Medicaid, Medicare,CHIPs, SCHIP,Tricare, DOD Tricare, VHA, and Indian Health Services all at once while Obamacare is supposed to be the cure-all for all these failed 100s of times over budget and broke programs.
The third mistake indicative of liberal idiocy was to elect the guy who stands by this fiscally catastrophic system as somehow being a boost to our overall economy.
If you cant see the idiocy you’ll of made my point.
November 13th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
“without brains utilized data mining and voter targeting to great effect and it had a great influence on revenue allotment, and ultimately, the election.”
Bullsht.
Republicans simply did not go to the polls.
Barrys reelection was by no means a result of any liberal genius, it was simply a 2008 redux.
You simply won by default because we so no point in playing with either team
November 13th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
we ’saw’ no point in playing…
November 13th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Voter fraud almost always happens in precincts that are overwhelmingly one side or the other. They fill out ballots for people who didn’t bother voting and nobody would be the wiser. Wake up!
November 13th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
So the data mining, exact voter targeting etc., didn’t happen.
Heck, even Fox applauded the efforts and innovation.
My mistake, I didn’t know the Republican voting base simply wasn’t interested. I kept reading that they were extremely motivated after the first debate.
So it wasn’t changing demographics or a rejection by minorities and women, but instead the Republican voters simply had other things to do that day.
Oh well, in that case I suppose they should not complain.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
“I kept reading that they were extremely motivated after the first debate.”
Nice try, but its common knowledge now that all the most reputable polls and reports were horribly inaccurate.
Because of this false structure being framed is why many thought their participation was not necessary.
May of these polls operated by liberal media, NBC, NYTs, Gallup, etc gave conservatives great hope, and complacency.
We took the bait.
Never again.
