finally got under Obama and leave them uninsured once again? Are they going to push for battalions of ground troops in Iraq and Syria, getting caught between Sunni/Shia hatred and coming home in body bags by the hundreds again? What initiatives do Repubs offer? They have no viable policies, no ideas, they can't govern. I wouldn't get too excited, it's just going to be nauseating listening to the same media who trumped up the Obama negatives (for the express purpose of helping the R's take the Senate) now demanding Obama to compromise and turn right. Fuck that shit.

Battalions of police goons with their military grade machines in the streets when starving people try to protest. Think the response to Occupy was bad? We ain't seen nothin' yet.

Those who have been festering for a civil war just got a hand up.

I'm shopping for a cave to hole up in for a spell.

Please consider writing your democratic senators and ask them to not filibuster the republicans crazy shit and let my president take his time about vetoing it let the news media worry that he might let it become law without a signature.
