You can't be serious. Are you that stupid or just unaware? First off, the tea party hasn't had any control. They didn't even exist until 2010. Second, it was that recent that the republicans swept the house. You can talk obamacare, which was rammed through congress, being the law all you want but it still doesn't change the fact that a majority of people are against it.

Hey everyone, looks like we've got a real live one here. nicker:

^Well, if deductibles turn out to be as high as was reported in the last news cycle, he'll be backing off, that's for sure. I've been pointing out that an insurance policy which only provides 60% coverage, puts paying for medical care out of reach for most folks. However, that is the ratio required to force people who do pay at least partially for their health care, to pay for those who do not pay. And FWIW, for anybody to be acting like the law is something sacred to be cherished and adhered to by these liberal jokers, is laughable. If they cared about the law they wouldn't be so actively involved in installing liberal judges in strategic districts, such as the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit based in San Francisco, California, so they can wage their campaign to change so much of the existing law. Like I've said, our court system and laws are merely tools that liberals and other special interest groups like to use to get their way on matters of the so-called social justice. Using the law to run over the law is their default tactic. Case in point would be the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. That was the law until Obama and his band of merry usurpers rode into town and used their super majority to overturn that particular law during their two year steamrolling spree in which they meticulously went down their list of liberal/progressive priorities.

No, this bunch in fact hates the law of their fathers, traditional America. They want unlimited access to government funded abortion on demand. Legalized recreational drugs, gay rights which again, involves federal funding, even more lavish entitlements and they want to get that Keynesian money conveyor revved up to provide all of the above. Let those stupid God loving right wingers pay for it, LOL. And don't think they wouldn't love to keep control of the Senate and regain control of the House. Reid and Pelosi are already licking their chops in anticipation of winning the mid-terms of 2014. By my reckoning, the true end of traditional America if voters were to reaffirm liberalism and Keynesian economics yet again.

Democrats have accused Republicans of acting like children on this governmental shutdown business. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it wasn't a Republican that gave the order to spend the money required to completely wall off the open air WW2 monument in DC with metal barricades, complete with signage and police barricade tape to deny WW2 Vets a visit to the memorial. Pure unadulterated eyewash. One would have to be totally intoxicated on the Kool-Aid to believe any of this stuff, from the sequester to the present shut down, has the first thing to do with governmental good stewardship of taxpayer funds. I mean, you had two options here, let the open air memorial stand unattended as is the usual case thusly spending not a cent, or spend thousands of dollars for materials and labor to wall it off as is not the usual case, duh. Like everything else from Benghazi to closing down the White House and the WW2 memorial to tours, it's politicizing the moment for the propaganda purposes of this administration.
