Ha. What did you think?
No retreat: Little reflection for House GOP after bruising shutdown - NBC Politics

They hate it. That's the plan.

Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job.

What makes you think government is the solution?

Government mostly created the problems.

I dunno. Things I've seen. You ever hear of monopolies. Those used to be a thing. But, you know, government. Also slavery, killing certain portions of the population, child labor, other stuff. But, government. 50 million people without health care? Who cares. Let them all die. Then again, government. Why should they care. It's not like a stronger, healthier population makes the country stronger. That's just crazy talk.

No. Here is a historical account of the complaints about ObamaCare:

Teabaggers in 2010: "Obamacare is evil! Obama is an illegal immigrant from Kenya! Obama has a fake birth certificate! That evil Obama built a time machine and traveled back in time to plant a fake news story about his birth in the Hawaiian newspapers! REPEAL OBAMACARE!!!!!1!"

Teabaggers in 2013: "HELP! I can't log into the website to sign up for OBAMACARE!!!!!1!"

Teabaggers in 2030: "KEEP YOUR GOVERNMENT HANDS OFF MY OBAMACARE!!!!1!"

What makes him think that? There's going to be no reform by the industry itself. As for government screwing things up, I went for a drive today in my nice fancy sports car down safe, government regulated streets that flow perfectly well, have electronic signs and I can drive them from where I live all the way to the backwards southern states if I so chose. Government does a lot of things well and lots of the regulations they make are asked for by private industry.

Time to take that tin foil hat off and visit a library.

Hey, Obamacare is the 'law of the leftists, I mean land'.

I want it to go forward AS IS.

Unfortunately, the Obummer regime is too stupid to be able to actually implement it.

That's the kind of incoherent, nonresponsive reply I expected.

The Democrats feel that more and more government, restricting and regulating and redistributing more and more, is somehow a "solution".

And when Republicans disagree, the Democrats demand that they come up wih a government solution that restricts and regulates and redistributes differently.

And if Republicans don't come up with such a "solution", the Democras scream the "Republicans have nothing!"

Why is it that, when Democrats start losing debates, they immediately start talking about lewd sex acts and people's gentials?
