You would have at least a shred of credibility if after you make the "orgy of dysfunction" claim that you simply added a couple sentences of facts that support your position. That could be said for most of your posts. Baseless and factless claims and comments get trampled on. By now you are paper thin, but I have to hand it to you, what little is left is tough. You keep getting up off the mat only to take another shot while your arms hang at your sides and you keep getting up before the count of 10. The referee is no doubt a righty. Who else would let this "fight" go on?

So we created this gigantic program to provide "access to affordable coverage" to everyone only to limit enrollment to a short window at the beginning of each year?

OK, true story from today..... A friend of mine is unemployed and he has a crappy health insurance policy. His wife and kids are under a separate policy. He wants to buy 1 policy for all of them as he's starting a new job in a small company that does not offer insurance. He called healthcare.gov today and after a few phone calls he was told that he cannot buy insurance through healthcare.gov as the enrollment period for 2015 has lapsed. Really? the Obamacare folks are not allowing him to buy a policy? This is what he was told on more than 1 phone call today.

You're supposed to fire a few warning shots off the back porch before the bad guys get too close. Joe Biden said so.

We still buy a significant amount of oil from the Mid-East region. We should do the pipeline even if for no other reason than to provide a source of oil that we may need if the most unstable part of the world becomes a less reliable source of oil. Since when are short term jobs of no benefit? Seems like they were a huge benefit back when the stimulus bill was being force fed to us. Oh by the way, construction jobs are all short-term. When projects are completed, those jobs end and people are only employed if the next project is ready and funded.

That's pretty close to the answer I expected.

What worthy bills/issues have the Republicans obstructed that they should have supported?

Oil is bad. It's dirty and the money it generates lines the pockets of wall street fatcats and oil execs. Never mind that it's one of the largest manufacturing industries in the US, that it employs many middle class people and union members, and is an export commodity.

So who do you like as a Dem alternative to H.R. Clinton?

Largely as in a majority as in he's full of shyt if he sees most guns owners this way.

Here are some... "Anyone but Hillary" "Liberalism is a Disease" "NoBama" "How's Hope and Change working out for you?" "9/11 Never Forget"

These people you speak of are the ones that worked all their lives and paid into the SS and Medicare systems. The ones that 3rd speaks of are those that cash welfare checks, then SS checks as they get older while using medicaid and medicare all of their lives.

Brilliant thread and post, 3rd.

More evidence of the most un-American administration in history http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/16/memo-telling-border-patrol-agents-dont-have-to-detain-intoxicated-drivers-draws/

Why can't liberals make the easy leap to set up a foreign bureau of engraving over in the Mid-East to print a bunch of money and get the economy rolling over there? It's worked so well here and the Obama Administration has learned that many there are simply suffering just like our middle class. Illegal immigrants won't be happy and might not support the Dems if we were to do that.

I really expected Josh to play a lot better in Tampa last season after what he did with the Bears the year before. He was quite good here in Chicago for that stretch. Might be strong evidence that the supporting cast really mattered and that he was a really good fit for Trestmans's style. Jeffries and Marshall may have made him look really good which is more evidence that Cutler is not very good at all.

Which is what we should have been doing for the past 30 years

Some of the comments posted are hysterical. Nice find.

It must really suck to be those mom's and wake up everyday and look at the world through their eyes.

I'll offer to give him driving lessons. Maybe once he's completed the course, the NFL will go easy on him.

I'd be happy with a piece on her that points out that she can't drive, can't make it up a flight of stairs and can't see a shoe lobbed her way.

Really, you're calling Scott Walker a punk?

Yes and Walker has thrived under political attack. Bring it on.

I believe Orton will be on an NFL roster before the 2015 season ends.

Does this mean that Al Sharpton won't be flying commercially without being cuffed in security?
