As the Democrats buy more and more voters with entitlements it may well be the end of the Republican Party. Problem is that it will be the end of the country as well.

A sitting Republican congressperson is more afraid of being primary'd by the TP than candidates from Democratic party. Getting TP'd used to be a lot more fun till this TP arrived.

Yes, just like McDonalds says, if you need to pay rent or buy food get a second or third job.

No, I'm saying the ACA was passed by congress, signed by the prez and survived a bullshit challenge all the way to the supreme court. Get it?

So far your gang of the whinyest, OCD losers this country has seen since the 'Know Nothing Party' has obsessively tried to repeal a law 41? mebbe 42? times, (I've lost count) at an exorbitant cost to the taxpayers of this nation. While failing epically everytime they bring it up.

Now they want to run our full faith and credit into the shitter for their losing game. Personally, I would like them to be locked up as traitors but I guess we will just have to wait for the next elections to run your sorry asses outta town on a rail. Clear enough for you, Zero?

Problem is that they would rather burn down the country first, Marc.

Not even the worst elements of the Weather Underground or their revolutionary ilk were advocates for this type of civil war during the Nixonian era.

Mebbe we should just give them the world as envisioned by Jesse Ventura and Terry Jones and be done with it?
