Boehner: Obama should negotiate on debt, but not with me

You don't want to fund it because of the idealogical motivation of seeing it fail. you would rather have the affordable care act die in its crib rather than working to improve it because You cannot support the notion of Government providing health care to the people.

Yeah. Communism works every time it is tried. Right?
 
I like all of those things. They do not go far enough. The EPA needs to be eliminated. Then every year we need to go after the most abusive, damaging of the remaining "independent" agencies. Let's do fifty a year until they are all gone.

We need to destroy liberals until there are so few they need to be locked up in museums.

so you think liberals and the liberal should not even exist?

how far has the republican party has fallen from the greats like Robert La Follette, Charles Evans Hughes, and Theodore Roosevelt.

In what way do you you consider yourself Liberal in the true sense of individual liberty?

All three of those men were progressives.
 
Good evening pg. It seems the government is expected to nanny, not govern... :roll:

And the ironic part of that is the fact that it is the government itself that believes that's their primary function! :thumbdown: We can discuss overreach at another time!

I'm an understanding person and willing to entertain complicated positions. Many believe I'm a conservative, but I disagree with a lot of their economic beliefs...
 
just a question: how many people will suffer when the affordable care act is defunded?

for example, the current proposal to defund obama care would also defund the CHIP Program.
The answer to your first is that politicians and their staffs would suffer a bit.
All of the socialist programs need to be eliminated.

BTW, you have the privilege of voting, not a right. Ask a felony convict...
 
You chose an add-on to respond to, don't blame you.
Dangerous times demand something totally new with a CC.
Now your team has started a statement on who is shutting the "whole damn thing down".
What is next to defund after food stamps? Social Security, etc
LOL. It would be wonderful if we defunded anything. We barely dented the massive food stamp fraud.

The government is a creation of the States...
 
The states were non functional when the Federal government was created to save the states in every conceivable way.

my positions are deeply rooted in what i believe is morally right and wrong, and what is humane.

linc, have you forgotten the ratification process that ensued after the writing of the Constitution?
 
I'm ignoring it, just like the TEAdomes are ignoring the cliff they want to take us off.

they lost theirs because they committed a crime against society.

but unless you have commited a crime, there should be a right to vote, universal suffrage.

What individuals are eligible to vote is a matter for the States with the limitations set forth in Constitutional amendments. What you believe should be is not necessarily what is...
