I'm not afraid. I'm discouraged. I do not believe the Tea Party holds the view of the majority of the American people. If they did, Obama would not of been re-elected on a platform of not allowing the ACA to be defunded.
Going against the American people to satisfy a minority of the population is not the way to get your message out and shutting down the Govt. and threatening a default on our debt is not the way to Govern.
They don't know how to compromise and do not deserve a place in Congress.
Who says everyone has to hold the views of the majority? Does freedom of expression mean anything? Are they not Americans? Stop treating them as some sort of alien species. You Liberals are all about conformity. Not everyone chooses to conform to liberal ideals. The people in congress now are elected officials, saying that "do not deserve a place in congress" is akin to saying the people who elected them had no right to put them in office. Your words are careless.
And answer me this: Is it proper governance to continue raising the debt ceiling and further continue reckless spending? Which is more dangerous? Just how many straws will it take to break the camel's back? It discourages me that people are willing to ignore the ramifications of their actions.
The one thing they are trying to do is defund Obamacare. That's it. They can't do it legislatively because they don't have the votes so they are going to hold up a vote of funding the Government and paying our debt until they get something they are never going to get. Defunding a law that was passed 3 years ago.
They need to go after more voters and elect more people who hold their ideals but they can't do that. They can only win in Gerrymandered districts where people who are easily swayed elect them into power. They only have power in the House because of the Gerrymandering and an ineffective majority leader who won't even go against them to bring a clean bill up for a vote to fund the Government.
They don't deserve a place at the table because they won't compromise. Governing is all about compromise.
Most people don't want what they are selling right now.
Some law. It was changed, amended, altered and delayed. Frankly it shouldn't even be a law now, it should be working it's way back through both houses of Congress. Obama overstepped his authority when he did what he did to it. If Obamacare was so great, why isn't the website working? Why aren't millions of people signed up for it already? The anvil rests purely on your shoulders.
Its funny, you're a Democrat/Liberal yet you seem to think you know what's going to help the GOP. I see this as nothing more than as a condescending attitude borne out of inherent arrogance. They have power in the house now due to the people wanting an insurmountable obstacle to governmental excesses. It's easy to see.
Funny, they deserve to be there because my vote among millions of others put them there. It's ironic, you want it just the same way the British had it before the people rebelled. "If you don't agree with us, you are not a part of us." How vile.
