Bottom line: Willard Romney and Paul Ryan ran for President/Veep on a platform which asked for everything that the Teabaggers are holding the country hostage over now, and the electorate soundly rejected that platform. What a small minority of congresscritters are doing now are holding the government hostage and risking an economic catastrophe because they don't believe elections should count, so they'll just obstruct until they get what the voters didn't give them..
If there were a just and loving God, these assholes would drop dead of horrible, painful illnesses. But there isn't, so they won't. Sad, but that's the imperfect world we live in.

I am speaking for the 2 WW2 vets in my family. Those guys were from a great generation . What they did and scarfed in those years should be an inspiration to us all.
To the people in the Service today, I am glad you are around. This whole world would be fucked up without you.
As for our elected officials, both parties should learn the word comprise . It is what it is.

Ironically, it's this same group that make it difficult to register vote and really only want people to vote who think like they do. While I can agree that compromise should be an intergal part of any government, as well as checks and bances. However universal healthcare was a platform issue on both sides. Someone lost and someone was victorious. I admire the President for holding strong and insisting that congress implement what the people voted for, regardless of your viewpoint because that's a democracy.

BCC & Buzz -
I am in complete agreement. The decision making in the house and its members who continually reinvent history for the purpose of pushing an agenda. Congress has traditional been about political differences. Which I think is a good thing in the long run. The current climate of inventing FOX news stories is crippling.

Apropos my earlier post, here's a longer, much better reasoned analysis by a retired US Navy chief warrant officer:
Deadlock
This is the money shot, for you members of the short attention span crowd:
Quote:
House Republicans have shut down the government and are threatening to keep the government shuttered not in order to delay further discussion on a pending bill, but rather in an attempt to rewrite the history of the legislature, to override a Constitutional law that has already been decided and judged constitutional before the Supreme Court.
For better or worse, the ACA is now part of the fabric of our nation and so intertwined within our laws that repealing it without suitable replacement would cause vastly more harm than good. The majority has spoken, the minority was acknowledged, the end result is precisely how our government is supposed to work.
While the House of Representatives is responsible for “the power of the purse,” that doesn’t mean that they are entitled to the tyranny of minority rule.
The power of the purse is the House’s responsibility, not license to hold the majority hostage.
What House Tea Party Republicans are demanding with this shutdown is nothing less than a line-item veto over the established laws of our nation.
If this tactic is allowed to stand, if it succeeds, if Present [sic] Obama capitulates to a small minority of extremists, then we will have given both this legislature and all future ones, the absolute power of tyranny via deadlock.
If allowed to become precedent, our government will permanently cease to function in any effective manner, perhaps not immediately, but eventually and if history is any guide it’ll be sooner rather than later.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And you don’t have to look any further than Congress to see the truth of that platitude.
If we allow this tactic to become precedent, it will be abused. It is inevitable.

I've been told more than once that after I came along they threw away the mold.
I've also had it pointed out to me that in the years since then, most of the mold has grown back.

Well, I stole that line from Emo Philips, so I can't really get possessive about it now.
