Call it what you want to call it. Barack Obama and Democrats would not be in this position if they had not force-fed a highly unpopular law on the American people through bribery, backroom deals, and political tomfoolery (i.e. reconciliation). They made their bed. Now they get to lay in it. If you consider that being "butthurt" so be it.

Are you thinking in terms of Progressive v. Conservative, or Democrat v. Republican?

Conservatives don't have the majority in the house now.


Why would someone get fired for actually doing their job they were hired for? Why?

Yet Tea Party members lost seats in 2012. You guys seem to forget that fact.

What position is that? Democrats won seats in 2012.

Tea Party, or Republicans?

The Tea Party didn't gain 63 seats in the house in 2010.

Guess you will learn the answer to your question in 2014 when we kick out more Republicans.

If progressives ran the House, as you claim, then why is the Federal Government shutdown? Why would they not automatically pass a debt limit increase?

Republicans who identified as Tea Party members. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough for you.

Sorry you are not a fan of honesty. I could always lie to you and tell you the Republicans will have landslide wins in 2014 and take control of the House and Senate.
