rgwalther: considering since Mitch started as a Congressional aid, he’s been in Congress, and D.C. for over 50 years now, what puts him at risk of breathing the coal dust in Kentucky that he’s so long helped industry generate? No risk of black lung, or having his home washed away by mountain top removal mining operations.
^And after 50 years in D.C. we expect him to change? The issue is whether after all those years, how does he represent new thinking, or “new stuff”. He doesn’t, and neither does Boehner. Now if you want a return to 1847, they may be your boys, and yes, it would have made them Democrats (Dixiecrats actually) at the time.
“The shut down is still embraced whole heartedly by the GOP despite it’s economic damage to America.”.Harry Reid didn’t seem to have a problem with kids rotting with cancer because that mean ‘ol GOP just wanted to fund the kids, not the economy wrecking ACA..At least Obama had some federal thugs harass some WW2 vets during the shutdown (since they probably don’t vote Democrat much…)..http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/world-war-ii-vets-storm-shuttered-memorial-washington-article-1.1472716
“…‘nazi’, but did you know that they were far, far right?”.Nazi Germany had single payer health care.Nazi Germany had abortion on demand.Nazi Germany was in favor of nationalizing industriesThey were also know as a socialist party.Nazi Germany prohibited Jews from owning firearms.Nazi Germany viewed the state as “religion”Nazi Germany had extremely high taxation.All of these are near and dear to Democrats. The only thing Nazi Germany had in common with the American right is they both love a big military..Congrats on repeating what you are told to repeat without doing research or simply thinking…

All John Boehner and McConnell have to do is just do their job. Vote on a bill. Send it to conference. Problem solved.

I thought it was just hot air but perhaps there’s a source for that.

Shouldn’t Obama be waving that thing at Putin? Oh hang on, he’s ‘flexible’ with Russia, Iran, China, etc. He’s only belligerent with other Americans.
