Do you realize that the ability to wire tap american conversations between americans cant take place without the FUNDING to do so? If BOTH political parties GAVE MONEY to fund its operation then BOTH parties are to blame. You can sit here and wine and cry but funding for the programs take place YEARLY, and Democrats held all 3 branches of government for YEARS. To blame the GOP soley is utter stupidity.

Not at all. Don't run as "The party of smaller government" if you aren't going to be as such. The GOP had the majority and the ability to stop this. They did not. Now, again, how is this stupidity? Or are you going to sit here and make excuses?

Hows all of them votes to repeal Obamacare working out? To claim they have the majority and the ability to stop anything is garbage. How are you going to stand here and put on display the complete ignorance you have over how policies are passed in this nation?

I am ignorant? Really? Then please explain to me why the Republicans keep voting to repeal Obamacare when they know they are going to lose at a cost to the taxpayer. Are you seriously implying they will stop? Furthermore, how do they not have the ability to at least SYMBOLICALLY like they are doing over and over again with Obamacare to not stop this? How do they not?

So, basically what you are saying is you make excuses and call names for your side's politicians when they disappoint you, just like most people on city-data. Am I correct? Seems that way to me. You do a lot of double-talking and you constantly contradict yourself.

"How are you going to stand here and put on display the complete ignorance you have over how policies are passed in this nation?"

Obamacare repeal is voted for over and over again with no chance of passing=okay with pghquest. The party of smaller government has a chance to vote against something with a majority and now I'm ignorant.

When you are riding down the slope of losing the argument, always call names. Perhaps some people will be diverted into not realizing you are losing. At least you got that part down.

OH goody, so for the first time in almost 6 years of total abject governmental failures, coverups and corruption we can blame the Republicans instead of the Democrats....

Whoopie

I heard about this on Fox news this morning.

As for those evil Republicans, almost as many Democrats voted with those Republicans, and as I always say, if Democrats and Republicans are getting together to do something, it's probably to screw the people.

The Tea Party movement aims to take over the Republican Party and restore it to respectability.

We have far too many RINOs who vote with Democrats and there is no reason to have two slightly different versions of the same corrupt party.


Do get back to me when the Senate and President Obama are willing to end spying on US citizens.

Wait wait wait, now you're whining cause they are voting to Repeal obamacare, which does nothing, on a thread you started whining about them not voting to stop the NSA, which will do the same exact thing as their voting to repeal Obamacare.

Do you understand how your argument fails all of a sudden?

Please take your political angst to the proper forum. Unless you've lived in another country, whining is useless because you DO NOT know anything about global politics. Who cares - O or a Republican; so far the country has what they paid for and will continue to do so.
Seriously find a political forum for your discussions.

Knowing what real conservative regime's like Franco's Spain are capable of I never took that conservative talk about "small government" seriously, but please... talking about small government and voting for Big Brother programs in the next minute? That really proves that conservatives are just full of s$it...
