Saying she was embarrassing & painful to watch is calling her names? Why are cons so delicate? Toughen up buddy.

When you find out what kind of health insurance she had, you'd find she bought a box of Band-Aids last month and thought that was adequate coverage!

Cathy "response" to the POTUS speech was directed to Republicans, or at least her "one-third" of the party.

I wonder, now that the IRS has been found out to be rat F**k**g the tea party types, and presumably the tea party has received tax exempt status for their grass roots organizations by now?, will this third of the republican party have a seat at the table in the primaries?

I'm still waiting for details about how ACA was supposed to reduce premiums by $2500 per family..

the diversity responses are bs. The GOP is 1 party and can only survive as one party. you can say oh we have diversity of opinion, you don't, you have different parties within fighting to see which will be the dominant ideology. not good if you seriously want to win in 16.

There si no diversity of opinion with the democratic party, follow the dear leader is all there is. The Republicans have various voices and they will come together

don't you wish, don't count on it. Do you remember a time when the Dems were split? It wasn't that many years ago......splits are not all bad, it is better to have more than one view on issues.

3 responses to a yearly speech is ludicrous. I only saw one- McMorris' speech was nothing but self promotion. It was the GOP's messy disarray in living Technicolor, for sure.
I have to agree: we don't need 3 responses unless each responder is asked outright, what did you think? What is the alternative etc? I do think it is ok for the party to show some diversity. Not all members have to agree on everything, I just think we need to step back and take a good look at what we are thinking.

I'm not a 13 year old girl, so I don't know what "ITBTFL" stands for.
Pathetic deflections are fun. Please keep it up.

Pubs stink.
That's funny because his polices aren't working and he has no vision.
