Rove just called out Ted Cruz saying he lied about a Wall St Journal poll.

Cruz said that the poll favored Republicans in their handling of health care. Rove said that was not true, that the democrats were up 8 points over republicans. He also said that Cruz, and Lee never talked the other Republicans about what the end game was for Obama care. He said they are doing everything on their own. I say to hell with both of them. However we cannot ever take our eye off of Cruz, Lee or Paul. They can never be allowed at any cost to be anything more than they are now.

they're lying. Just by being a member of the GOP you're lying. You're lying to yourself and to the American public. You are posing as a fraud, you are depicting yourself as being human yet you are actually devoid of any humanity or soul.

I can't stand self centered, ignorant fucks, many of whom have never had to struggle in their life passing value judgments on folks who have it hard many times not even their doing.

that it is the REPUBLICANS who are playing games with this economy really burns me up. They will shut down government over Obamacare, knowing fully that they will lose that game, all the while Americans will blame Obama and Democrats.

For the love of God, when will America wake up? When????

that has it's head firmly up it's ass on health care reform. The far Left is as bad as Ted Cruz on health care reform. The far Left would like to see nothing more than Obamacare fail, some how, in their tiny little world, that will instantly cause Americans to see the wisdom of and demand Single Payer. Nothing can be farther from reality, but the far Left and republicans do traffic in reality.

Single Payer will happen as an offshoot of Obamacare after the far Left and republicans are proven to be soundly wrong and grossly out of touch about the ACA.

diversity of thoughts and opinions on the left, depending on the policy issue. I'm more politically nuanced than being a strict ideologue, though I am a proud liberal.

I agree that there are plenty on the political left--far left and not--who are not very thoughtful, but I could say the same for most Americans. We are not very politically sophisticated as a rule.

Obamacare isn't perfect but I support it fully. I'm not one of those ODSers who just trash anything and everything Obama does because he's not purely liberal. That's just ridiculous.

Single Payer NOW, despite evidence that pushing for Single Payer would have blown up ANY health care reform. The far Left has taking to a sniper strategy of claiming that the ACA enriches insurance companies, which is complete bullshit when weighed against the fact that more people get access to health care, people with existing conditions CAN'T be denied coverage, women will get better health care for less money out of their pockets, and poor children will be insured and get quality health care. The far right is out to destroy ANY health care reform, the far Left in behavior and when responding to polls on the ACA are helping the far right, hand in glove.

Although one liar expressing indignation at another liar doing what he does best,LYING,and expecting to be afforded automatic credibility despite being HIMSELF a known liar,makes my head swim.
While Rove actually speaks factually,this time,his motivation is suspect to me.He,like all the rest of the bastards sporting (Rs),only utter truths accidentally or in some self serving scheme.

he is able to understand that his party is jumping off the cliff. More and more people see republicans as extremists,Reagan hid his extremism behind a folksy smile and folksy homilies,this new brand of republican extremists are incapable of doing that.The mask is slipping and Rove knows where this will end.

slashing $4B in SNAP benefits.
BTW,BIOB is their strategy to win.
Veto the Continuing Resolution for a national budget plus+++ defund the ACA,Blame It On Obama.
If the Government shuts down,Blame It On Obama.
Unemployment and Non-living wage jobs abound,Blame It On Obama.
48% rise in applications for SNAP,Blame It On Obama(not the House Republicans,they were having power luncheon after 18 holes creating jobs for the past 29 years.)
Neighbor dog knocked up your dog,Blame It On Obama.
Morning Newspaper in the puddle again,Blame It On Obama.
Biblical style flooding in CO,Blame It On Obama.
Stubbed your toe on your way to the bathroom some time in the night,Blame It On Obama.
Megalomaniacal shooters shooting up your local mall or neighborhood school,Blame It On Obama.
Curly hair in your Taco Bell,it was Obama.

They can not even bring themselves to park the title President in front of the Presidents name.
Want to drive those Teabagger in-laws nuts in the upcoming Helliday family get togethers?,keep repeating "President" or "The President" or even better "My President".
The Bloodmist around the table from the cranial detonations will perfectly accentuate the holiday decor and compliment the portraits of crucified Jesus hanging everywhere about the table.
Do this at your own risk,this is why I eat Taco Bell for the Holliday dinners not trusting the tainted left overs sent home.
Who needs their bargain rack sock gifts anyway?
I only ever used them to polish the wheels on my truck,not caring for the fat seams creating corns and calluses under my toes.
