Strung Out
I know you do but it's a dream, not reality.

No. It;'s a nightmare and I just woke up to it and realized, all along, all I really needed to do was go pee.
Done.
Finished.
#### it.

Obamacare is the problem. Cruz and the so-called ‘Tea Party’ gang were elected to do all they can to repeal that malevolent cancer.
I look forward to Graham, McCain and so many others to lose their seats. If there is any sort of victory to be had by the right, those establishment-types have to go.
Why do you say that when they've never had to defend anything before? Most Americans are retarded and their attention span is that of a gnat, so all the Dems have to do is....change the subject. Surely whoever they're running against will have a family to attack. They can whip out the trusty old race card - that's always good for distraction. Ben who? Never heard of him...
I keep telling you this and you never believe me: when you have the media on your side, you do not have to defend a damn thing because nobody will question you.
Maybe its you that's retarded.

wouldn't it have been nice if the fight would have actually been about fixing the problems instead of some unattainable and unrelated goal.....
The Senate Conservatives Fund quickly called that language the "Kentucky Kickback," and said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) secured that as the price of his support for the bill. Taxpayers for Common Sense says the bill would increase total authorized spending by $1.2 billion.

Where I come from that is called BRIBERY!secured that as the price of his support
It is every man for himself, in that cesspool of governance in Wash,D.C. It is not going to be much longer before the rest of us will similarly be placed in same situation-"every man for him/herself" God help us!A kickback is a form of negotiated bribery in which a commission is paid to the bribe-taker as a quid pro quo for services rendered.[1] Generally speaking, the remuneration (money, goods, or services handed over) is negotiated ahead of time.[1] The kickback varies from other kinds of bribes in that there is implied collusion between agents of the two parties, rather than one party extorting the bribe from the other.[1] The purpose of the kickback is usually to encourage the other party to cooperate in the illegal scheme.[2]
I don't care anymore.
Vrai wins. She's been saying this for years and I, frankly, have lost the will to fight anymore. They just caved. Again. Folded another winning hand. Again. I am a ####ing fool for believing in this fairy dust of Constitutionally limited government of, by and for the people.
I don't care anymore. This is now Easter bunny stuff to me. Spooky movies. I hate spooky movies. And I don't believe in the Easter bunny. Actually, it makes more sense to believe in the Easter bunny.
Done.
I don't really even know you and know you're not a good liar.
there is more than one problem. Obamacare isnt and wasnt going anywhere, despite what Cruz and the teaparty think they were elceted to do.
I don't really even know you and know you're not a good liar.
He gets knocked down, but he gets up again. They're never gonna keep him down.
Tomorrow he'll be right back in the saddle, never fear.

I certainly owe you the compliment of saying you were right all along.
Well, McCain, Graham, and their ilk made damn sure of that.
They didn't have any choice either.
They didn't have any choice either. They didn't have the votes to make any changes to Obamacare. Too many bought the bill of goods that the teaparty was selling. This was a loser from the beginning.
Well, to be fair, you can't really go wrong being jaded and cynical. You will be right most of the time, and occasionally pleasantly surprised.
That’s strange, I could’ve sworn the house passed several budgets which included defunding Obamacare.
But let me understand you… because the GOP knew they wouldn’t get Democrat support in the senate they shouldn’t even bother trying? Despite what their constituents were demanding of them, the ‘Tea Party’ members of the house should have told their constituents “I know you elected me to fight this thing, but we just can’t win; so we’re not going to do what you elected us to do.”
It’s like this… You are not going to change my mind. You aren’t going to win me over no matter what you say. You just don’t see things the way I do. Yet you keep trying. Why are you bothering? Because it’s important to you. Because it’s important that you get your message out there, not for the purpose of winning me over, but for the purpose of letting folks know where you stand. It’s called principles.
Cruz and the gang needed to take a stand on what they believed in; for those that elected them. It was important that they conveyed the clear message that they are not just against Obamacare, but are aimed at doing everything in their power to defeat it. Even when it means they won’t win, getting their message out there is important. They did that. And now everyone knows, without equivocation, where they stand.
Don’t forget, the GOP took control of the house and increased their numbers in the senate in '10 because of Obamacare. That still means something to them – and it means something to me.
This sounds vaguely familiar...almost like "they can't win the election, so vote for this turd over here instead."That’s strange, I could’ve sworn the house passed several budgets which included defunding Obamacare.

And the senate and presidency were retained by the dems who passed Obamacare. We had the mandate argument before, and the people who represent more constituents are the dems. If there was a mandate they had it.
Besides, the teaparty tried and failed to repeal Obamacare again and again. They did nothing to further that cause by shutting down the government. Everyone already knew where they stood. This was a stunt plain and simple, one that was doomed to fail.
It's funny now that the stunt has failed some people are still trying to defend those who held out for nothing. You do realize that our "fiscally conservative" brethren just gave hundreds of thousands of government workers two weeks extra paid vacation. Yeah, that helped.
