What's the point of democratic government if the losers get to overturn the decisions of the winners on a whim?

A failed post if ever I witnessed one.Well the Republicans can vote against Obama and the Democratic party all they like, but Obamacare is here to stay. If the Republicans shut down the government just because they hate Obamacare then the Republicans will lose the House; not sure what Republicans think they will achieve as Obama and the Democrats won't pass austerity budgets and send the US back into recession.
The Republicans have already voted to keep government open. Its a historic fact as of right now.
Do you think no Republicans added any boondoggle amendments to this CR? I ask because you took the trouble to imply it was only Democrats who did this. How were Democrats able to attach boondoggles in a Republican majority House if they weren't all (Democrat and Republican) big spending mutual back scratchers?
Stop deluding yourself.
No they haven't, they have voted to shut down a government program; and expect the Democrats to just give in to all their demands. The only failure is the one that Republicans pushed themselves, and in 2014 the tea party is going down.A failed post if ever I witnessed one.Well the Republicans can vote against Obama and the Democratic party all they like, but Obamacare is here to stay.

You seem to operating under some extremely flawed ideas about government. Allow me to correct them.What's the point of democratic government if the losers get to overturn the decisions of the winners on a whim?

Keep dreaming mate, Congressional Republicans have lower popularity than Democrats across the board.A failed post if ever I witnessed one.Well the Republicans can vote against Obama and the Democratic party all they like, but Obamacare is here to stay.

So, if the government shuts down...it's squarely the Democrats' fault.
Universal healthcare with user pays would be better, but the Republicans would vote against it even though it is cheaper and more effective. Obamacare is all the Democrats managed, but that should change when the Democrats take back enough of the Congress from 2014 onwards.Well the Republicans can vote against Obama and the Democratic party all they like, but Obamacare is here to stay.

If something is wrong with obamacare...Why not fix it? Do what's best for the American people.

Oh, sure, Democrats and their loyal minions in the media will SAY it's the GOP's fault -- and uninformed and stupid people will believe them.Keep dreaming mate, Congressional Republicans have lower popularity than Democrats across the board.A failed post if ever I witnessed one.

How many people have you informed on to [email protected] and ATTACKWATCH?The Pub campaign against O-care is based on misinformation, and so is any disapproval. ANOTHER new BS GOP disgrace.
Dissent is patriotic.
The House just passed a Continuing Joint Resolution that funds the entire Federal government for a year, including all the Democrats' pet projects and funds, even an odd payment of $170K to the widow of former Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). The vote was mostly along party lines, with a finaly tally of 230-189.
Since the American people voted to put more Republican Representatives into the House than big-government Democrats, the 2012 election produced a Continuing Resolution funding the entire government and all its perks, except for a few new ones such as Obamacare, which is not mentioned in the Resolution.
The passage of the bill leave open the possibility for Representatives to put together a separate bill funding Obamacare on its own. Current progress on such a separate bill by House Democrats, is not known.
With the major compromises offered in the newly-passed bill by Republicans, funding many projects they had previously opposed, it now remains to be seen whether the Democrat-controlled Senate will be in an equally compromising mood. WIll they vote to fund most of the Democrats' pet projects as the Republicans have done? Or will they decide to shut down the government anyway, despite Republican's compromising on so much, because the Democrats did not get EVERY single item they wanted?
