ORIGINAL: extraordinarydom Good grief, isoLadyOwner, do you not follow any news other than on Fox? The President tried to close Guantanamo for two years, transfer those who were convicted to a prison in Illinois, and try the remaining detainees in federal court but Congressional Republicans raised such a cloud of demogaugery that he had to back away. The nonsense about sending the IRS after people who don't have health care is another bit of Fox nonsense; as in Massacusetts, there is simply a penalty one would pay after 2013 if they don't have either private insurance or buy into the government pool. And when the Patriot Act was renewed, it was the Democrats in the House and Senate who stripped some of its most-onerous provisions from the original Bush version. As for the other right-wing posts here, about all I can say is that for some no explanation is necessary and for others it is impossible. I hope you enjoy life in Beck-Hannity-O'Reilly land. So ... when did the Congressional Republicans stop the closing of Gitmo? Was that during O's first two years, when the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the Presidency? Ya know .. when they rammed O'care through Congress, over the intense objections of the Republicans? It's amazing how them dastardly Republicans can subvert the political power of the holders of power, even when they have an overwhelming majority in the Executive and Legislative bodies ... [:D] Firm
