Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is fast tracking a war powers bill through the Senate that would grant Obama virtually unlimited authority to deploy US armed forces anywhere in the world for any amount of time, opening the door for indefinite martial law on US soil.
Senate majority whip John Cornyn, as well as other senators, reacted with surprise when reporters questioned them about McConnell’s sudden fast-tracking of the bill after a year of entrenched debate. Even Democrat senators reacted with some apprehension, such as Senator Robert Mendez, who fundamentally agrees with the powers granted by the bill but doesn’t want to give Obama “a blank check.”
This sudden turn of events is both puzzling and worrisome. As the Presidential election looms on the horizon, the timing of such a bill is troublesome.

Well that’s why we have the 2nd amendment. We have the right to establish a militia. Encase any of you liberals don’t understand, that’s how we won our freedom from England was with a militia. That’s was ordinary people not a military. And because of that amendment we can still take up arms against a government that has become a tyrannical government. And again for you liberals that don’t understand that word (tyrannical). It means out of control.
Impeach them all…
9-11 was a Muslim attack not just Iraq and Obama had husein killed before he spilled the beans

MCCONNELL MUST GO ! HE IS A TRAITOR TO AMERICA ! IMPEACH HIM IMMEDIATELY !
Mitch McConnell is a sell out of the American people. He has abused his power, broken his oath, trampled on the Constitution and all our laws. He lied, cheated, stole our money, spent millions funding the Islam invasion and now more war power. This traitor will never need more war powers, what he needs is a jail cell. Mitch McConnell just gave up his position in politics, such an asinine decision will be rewarded with being kicked out at election time.
Wake up – this man is the one really just like$#%&!@* He is trying to disarm the citizenry, remove God and religion from everything and limit if not erase the Constitutional rights of all Americans! This is how$#%&!@*came into power – WAKE UP NOW or we could find ourselves with a king!
Why….Mitch McConnell must go…he is getting more in line with dirty Harry reed every day.
Mitch McConnell is brain dead!
Is this a joke?
