What a brainwashed non-thinker of a post here. I'd LOVE to be selling you a big purchase item such as a car or house. I'd make a killing off of the gullible nature that you espouse.

Yeah, each one of these scandals have been the supposed demise of the Democratic party that hasn't happened. Starting with Obamas supposed fake birth certificate. I guess it's to distract people from the civil war in the GOP right now between the Tea Party and sanity.

Honestly if were Republicans. I would just keep the tea party members and the rest. Keep their mouths shut and do nothing.

Let the side effects of the ACA run its course.

Right now Repubs are finally being smart. Don't do anything to divert attention away from the ACA.

Because of the govt shutdown. Most of the public didn't see what was going on with the launch of the website.

Not caring why we lost men in Benghazi is easy when you are in power . Not caring the IRS was suppressing voters is easy for a dem . Bet if it was move on being suppressed you would care. Bet if it was your family who died in fast and furious you would care. Bet if you lose your insurance and have go to a web site that does not work and if it did work your deductibles sky rocket while your premiums double you would care .
The problems with liberals is cry for tolerance while not really caring about anything but you

That's like saying the Titanic would be fine if they could just find a way for it to hit the iceberg "right".

Never mind that it's already at the bottom of the sea.

Right!! It should only take a week or two for people to see how beneficial Obamacare is. We don't have to wait for the website to be up and running to see who is benefiting from Obamacare - Medicaid enrollment is up, up, up - low deductible, subsidized health coverage at the expense of taxpayers, in many cases 100% subsidized, and they will be getting the same medical care as everyone else who will be paying full price for health care coverage under Obamacare. Since Medicaid is state and federally funded (taxpayer money), when the medical bills under Medicaid come due who will be footing the bill?

Who weakens the country? Here's a clue: the country is in the hands of government. The country's strength and weaknesses are created through those that make the decisions by those who think what they are doing is in the interest of the country.

This country is running a 400 billion dollar deficit right now. After cutting through the lies that the Democrats used to sell Obamacare, the CBO now estimates that Obamacare will cost around 300 billion dollars a year. Adding 300 billion more on top of that 400 billion is not going to strengthen the USA. And people who want the federal government to follow the constitution, which does not give that government the authority to manage the healthcare of private citizens, cannot be said to be America-haters. You can go ahead and be a bleeding heart liberal who wants the rich to support the poor. That's fine. But don't pretend that is a pro-America stance or that it will strengthen the country.

Our Justice Department allowing guns to go to drug cartels is a non-scandal?

The IRS has admitted its wrongdoing, but it's a non-scandal?

It's been proven that the spontaneous demonstration meme was a coverup, but it's a non-scandal?

In 2010 the Democrats suffered the worst defeat in decades and an ABC News poll released on Tuesday the majority of people said they wished Romney had won the election instead of Obama, but the Republicans will never prevail?

You prefer liberal ideology to conservative ideology. Fine. But you should really get a grip on reality here. The last two elections had Republican Chris Christie crushing his opponent and Cuccinelli closing an 8 point lead over his opponent who spent more than double the money he did. You may want the GOP to go away, but don't confuse your fantasies with reality.

How many posts have you submitted saying the same things over and over even after your statements have been debunked?

Pot meet kettle.

"...the secretary [Sebelius] met Carmen Salero who was trying to sign up online. As the secretary and Salero made small talk, CBS4′s Brian Andrews noticed the site crash on the lap top in front of them.

“The screen says I’m sorry but the system is temporarily down,” Andrews pointed out. “Uh oh,” responded the secretary."

"Uh oh." ...still not getting fixed.
