Skunk Boat Not the Republicans fault IMO. Thomas Sowell has it right:

Hard to argue with the facts. Appropriations is full-on the House of Representatives responsibility. They passed a bill to keep goverment running in case nobody noticed, apparently Harry didn't. For someone with a degree in History/Constitution you would think Obama would have forseen this little hiccup. Truth is even though it once garnered a lot of support, as time goes on people have shifted their support from national healthcare to other things like jobs and the economy. Talk about a prolonged recession, 7 years. At what point do the Dems quit blaming GWB as their excuse for a crap economy?
Destroyer, I appreciate the comments from Glen Beck, not my favorite talking head. The president has failed to introduce a budget, (his responsibility as sitting president), five years running no less? Doesn't that small fact concern anyone? Wouldn't he have already been fired if he worked in the private sector?
I had already heard from another source what pricks National Park Service was being about the closed down farm in VA. Hurt the working man is the goal and mantra of the Democrats. They want us to feel it.
I can assure you that they don't have enough government to prevent me from going fishing. What was Glenn Beck talking about? Closing fishing in the keys? Good luck there. Rum soaked Conch Republic will tell you where and how often to go fornicate yourself. If I recall correctly it wouldn't be the first time either.
For any liberal/progressive/socialist/commie out there that claim that the rednecks are clinging to our guns a little too tight. I say not too tight, just right. This is exactly WHY the Second Amendment is so damn important. I will not be dictated to, I am sure others feel the same. Too many good men and women died for the freedom that our govt. is attempting to take away with the stroke of a pen.
I personally feel Obamacare will fail without any help from the Republicans. I have tested the numbers and it just does not add up. Poor working class man doesn't have an extra 10% to throw at health care. It just isn't affordable. Bronze coverage is 60/40? So you just bankrupted the working poor with the health care mandate? Giant premiums, giant out of pocket co-pays if you use the system and god forbid you have anything major necessary because the prices are still going up and you are not going to have access when and where you need it because there will still be tens of millions of illegals milking the system without the first nickel of contributions. Tens of millions more on welfare that don't contribute a nickel to the system either. Where are the additional doctors? Has noone seen this through? They need to start acting a little nicer to me as I am still a contributor. Instead they want to make me suffer. Who wants to make me suffer? Obama and the Dems.
I know there are some people suffering due to lack of insurability, I am not without a heart. something needs to be done. The mandate rubs me wrong and aside from "a pre-existing condition" just doesn't fix much of anything..
