please, Please, PLEASE indict Barack Obama [View all]

I dare you.

Lincoln once said that the best way to be rid of bad law is to force it's vigorous enforcement. Same thing with bad people. Force them to absurdity. They'll go there; they just need a push. The keys to your victory are contained in the opponent's absurd behavior.

I was a mediator for years, and experience has taught me the above. A person's true character is revealed in negotiation. Your understanding (or lack thereof) of the opponent's character, and it's usefulness to your arguments, will be the difference between gain and loss in the negotiation.

Democrats should demand an Obama indictment, and a jury trial. They should call for it daily until such time as one comes down, or they shut the fuck up. If they indict, the real fun begins, and lasts through the 2026 elections. They got nothing , and nothing will get your butt kicked all over a courtroom. If they decline to indict, their base gets to eat shit on yet another issue.

Win/win. Please don't throw me into that there briar patch.
