Boehner holding the government hostage to accomplish what he wasn't able to do since 2010 through legislative means is a slap in the face to the democratic process.

Negotiate nothing. That ship has sailed.


Slavery was law at one time too, with several Democrat presidents defending it. Justices also came out with decisions like Dred Scott. The ACA was Justice Roberts' Dred Scott decision. He "deemed" it Constitutional although there was clearly nothing Constitutional about it. Justice Kennedy saw through that facade. At any rate, the majority of the House won't vote to support it since they are accountable to their constituents. It doesn't have the votes, so either the White House and Reid compromise or forget it.

BTW, did you complain about Reid/Pelosi holding the government hostage when Bush was president? Didn't think so. Did you criticize Senator Obama when he refused to vote on raising the debt limit?


Because enslaving/raping/killing an entire race of people for centuries and saying that no black person had any rights a white person needed to respect is just exactly like the PPACA, a corporate friendly reform designed to lower the rate of health care costs, shovel people into the tender arms of insurance companies and expand health care coverage to many who lack it.

Are we going to hear how signing up for the exchanges is akin to getting on the train to Dachau?

This sort of over the top analogy and rhetoric tests well with the extreme right wing but not with normal people. It's precisely because so many right-wing people live in an information bubble that they don't know how and don't care to talk to people who don't share their views. If the right wing doesn't like Obamacare they should have won in 2008 or 2012 or taken back the Senate. But they couldn't do it then and I doubt they will win in 2016. Thus the temper tantrums.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
