Cruz was blamed for diverting the public’s attention from Obamacare to the 16-day closure, which took a deep toll on the GOP in polls.

And what is your point? Obama wanted to raise taxes in addition to those tax cuts.

I never said Democrats don't offer tax cuts. They do all the time. But most want to raise taxes (even if a little) to pay for increased spending.

If you weren't so reflexively against everything someone other than your "team" posts, you'd know this.

“It doesn’t matter how much money you give them,” he said. “The structure of the Veterans Administration health business is not organized in order to deliver health care. Unless … you break it down and have a public/private partnership, you’re not going to give health care to veterans who really need it.” Colonel Jack Jacobs

Ya won't see any Republicans "being" resigning over this. I ain't a gambling man but betting on that ain't gambling.

Only blind partisan loons will blame Republicans for this. If any more individuals being resigning it will be Democrats.

No he didn't. He might have claimed it but he never intended to.

"My team"? This is the problem. Bush, Cheney, Obama, Bernanke, Pelosi, Boehner, Reid, McConnell should all be tarred, feathered and thrown in prison.

The GOP had years to address this also and did nothing. Some of them are still in a position to do something but are only willing when they feel they can hurt the other side.

FAIL..

The VA "scandal" has nothing to do with inadaquate funding, it has to do with FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS and LYING claiming they were being seen on time when they werent.

You dont like this, wait till UHC comes into play..
