1. Good news for me

Boehner and teacoup just came out. Nothing changed. They want cuts which they call fairness to the ACA

[bigtree]

2. Boehner looks clueless, almost spooked by the fire he helped light

4. Yes he does. Hope the Kochs are shaking

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. WTF???

Did this HAVE to look like they are praying for a miracle?

[Coyotl]

13. Is that the funeral dirge "Amazing Grace" I hear playing in the background?

The blind, lost wretches even look like the walking dead.

They will not be missed in 2015

Marsha Blackburn getting spanked on MSNBC

6. The repuke position is a coup of sorts....imho. nt

[bigtree]

9. exactly right, snappyturtle

. . . which has been their underlying motive, all along, democracy be damned.

8. I just hope they leave Obamacare out of it

If the President or dems go for just one change in ACA, no matter how small, they will open the door for more extortion.

17. O.M.G. Thomas Roberts scores AGAIN!!!! Another question well worth asking!

DAYUM!!! And putting it directly into the face of that little teabagger crumb-cake marsha blackburn!!!! Another one of their teabagger stale cookies. OH MAN has she had this coming for oodles of years!!! With bells on!!! And she didn't have a response other than the default - outrage. When you don't have a coherent answer, stamp yer little feet and spew invectives and throw a hissy fit. And try to turn on the questioner and make THEM the bum for having the gall to ask an impertinent question. She has disgusted me for YEARS. Another one of dubya's Monicas, for sure - at least figuratively speaking.


If I were the head of NBC News, I'd be looking directly at a new host for "Meet the Press." David Gregory - MOVE OVER. My dream host would ordinarily be Rachel Maddow instead of yet another wholly-owned subsidiary. But I'm just liking Thomas Roberts more and more and more! He's demonstrating to the entire network how one must treat the teabaggers. They're a tiny sliver of the population. SINCE WHEN do they get to make demands and get everything their way?????

18. And she never answered the question...

Go figure.

[Auggie]

12. They should have borrowed the reply from Battle of the Bulge General Anthony McAuliffe ...

"NUTS!"

14. Obama's personal response.

[hue]

16. Orchestrated by the chaotic minds of the Tea/Repuke puppetmasters (Koch & Co.)

This crazy minority really needs to be overridden! They definitely are not worth the anxiety and suffering, the time & $$ they are costing our nation! Obviously they have ZERO respect for democracy and the American people--their constituents--who they are supposed to be representing & serving!!

I have nothing but disdain for that group of Tea/Repuke obstructionists and IMHO they should be charged with sedition & locked up, or go to H--which they seem so fond of believing in!

[BlueStreak]

19. What is wrong with these dumb shits?

This is like after your girlfriend broke up with you -- and she tried to do it very gently and compassionately -- you stalk her for the next three weeks. Screaming at her in every public setting, "You can't break up with me !!! Do you know who I am? I demand that you come back right this second !!!"

How pathetic are these guys? If they would just shut up, some people would choose to believe that they actually still have some influence over events. They seem to be begging for the grandest, most spectacular public humiliation ever. And it seems that Obama is more than willing to oblige them.
