Bring it on.

What "aspects" of the Healthcare bill should they "defund?"

This is quite a large Civics problem: taking your children out of Civics class to show up at a Soviet Party party.

Tea party members are useful idiots for the Republican establishment.

Somehow I don't think Charlie Crist would agree with you.

He probably would, but either way it doesn't change the fact that tea party members are useful idiots.

As are welfare moms for the Democratic establishment. I think the Tea partiers are quite a notch above............

The simplest solution to the the ACA is for Congress... The House of Reps ...to forego funding to implement or sustain healthcare. Some parts of the bill or suitable for implementation and should be kept. Others disposed.

There's a paper regarding like possibilities in The New England Journal of Medicine, Oct 28, 2010.

"The Tea Partiers don't know Civics, and the GOP knows that"

Ridiculous statement.

And by the way: as if ghetto urban Democratic voters know Civics.

One example: The fricken idiots did not know anything about the Electoral College.

The buck does NOT stop at the President's desk. And that is in the Constitution as well.

You made that donkey look like a jackass.

She didn't say Obama was going to pay for her gas or mortgage. Maybe she thought the economy would improve so much she wouldn't have to worry. The title is a misrepresenatation.
