WestVirginiaRebel Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 boston.com:Governor Deval Patrick, even as he decried partisanship in Washington, said today that Republican opposition to President Obamas agenda has become so obstinate that it is almost at the level of sedition.The Democratic governor, who is close to the president, made the comments at a forum at Suffolk Law School's Rappaport Center, where he was asked by an audience member about partisan battling in Congress. Patrick said that even "on my worst day, when Im most frustrated about folks who seem to rooting for failure," he doesn't face anything like the opposition faced by the president. "It seems like childs play compared to what is going on in Washington, where it is almost at the level of sedition, it feels to like me, Patrick said.Merriam-Webster.com, the dictionary site, defines sedition as "incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.''After the forum, Patrick explained his remarks.I think that the number of people in the Grand Old Party who seem to be absolutely committed to saying no,' whenever he says yes, no matter what it is, even if its an idea that they came up with, is just extraordinary, the governor told reporters after the forum.But did the opposition really border on sedition?That was a rhetorical flourish, Patrick said.________You stay classy, Deval. BTW, you're an ass. And that wasn't a rhetorical flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Simmons Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Close to BHO, eh? You don't think he's "channeling", do you? Memo to Gov Patrick: Your predecessors in MASS thought the same thing when the Colonists were oppressed and protesting. Then we threw their red-coat asses all the way back to the UK. And this November we're gonna throw your RED asses right out of office, you Marxist swine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickydog Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Oh my gosh, I am so glad I am just an ordinary private citizen that nobody pays any attention to. Most pictures of me are not very attractive -- there would be an unending supply of awful stuff to put on YouTube if anyone cared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
