They are moving in the right direction alright...way far right and right off a cliff. Good riddance in advance. Radical idiots will be a blip on the radar screen of history. Look at all of the radical Teapublicans that went bye bye. There's a laundry list and these current self-serving twits will be joining them hence. Every now and again a mean-spirited bunch infiltrates government like termites and then they are gone. Are the majority of women going to vote for them, people of color, gays, young people? You can bet that they will not.

John Birch Society anyone? Yuk!

Obama cruised into the White House, 347-191.

That is a drubbing, no matter how many times rural whites vote "Republican" in the Deep South.

This is a budget killer. There however some good points in there that should be carried forward.

Dem's are backing off this OC because its a Train Wreck" Unions (Mr. Hoffa) wants a way out of this deal too!

Mind you, Republican conservatives for funding the Gov, except for OC. Heck the President and the Dem Leadership will not even speak about improving the law. Lastly the other problem is When the Dem's controlled the house and Senate and of course the White House., they excluded any Republican input on this thing they call a law.

The day it was one sided, was the day it is to fail.

He won by 4%. That isn't an overwhelming majority. And even as they voted him back in, the polls showed people disapproved of Obamacare. The liberal narrative that Obama's re-election was a mandate for Obamacare is simply false.

Pelosi, not Polise, Constitutional rules, not Parliamentary trick.

Unlike you and Ted Cruz, i have actually Read the letter and it doesnt call it a train wreck. What it says is Businesses are using loop holes in the law to exploit workers.

its funny watching conservatives claim businesses would treat workers better with less regulations while complaining that businesses are using a loophole in the law.

Both President Obama and Democratic Leadership are open to republicans suggestions on how to improve the law, but they are not open to defunding, gutting or repealing it.

Democrats did take Republican input on the law, the man who helped write Obamacare is the same man who helped write Romneycare in Massachusetts.

Long story short, your entire post is based on lies.

The people do not disprove of Obamacare, they disapprove of the name "obamacare" and the lies republicans have added to it.

You tell people there are death panels in something, then of course they are not going to approve of it, but I ask you to show us where in the law are these death panels ?

There is another common lie that says you will have tp pay taxes when you sell your house, and while it is true that there is a 3.8% tax on home sales in the new law, it only applies to 0.002% of the population. The law specifically states that for the tax to apply, YOU as an individual, must have a net income of 200,000 dollars(250,000 for a family) and you must sell your home for a net profit of 500,000 dollars.

If Republicans really thought Obamacare would fail, they wouldnt need to lie about it.

The current new crop of Republicans are making me more and more likely to vote Democrats in future years.

I am so disappointed in the senate and both senators from North Carolina. I did not vote for either of them and I was right. People do not like the health care now that they see what is in it and they had an opportunity to do something about it and failed. Sad bunch of losers in my opinion.

House, keep up the good work. It may get messy but right can win. It might get interesting to see who are worth their weight in this country. Maybe it is time to show a little appreciation to the people who are supporting the rest for a while.
