In the progressive brain it's because the republicans aren't giving progressives whatever the **** they want when they want it..
Progressives feel entitled to whatever they want when they want it and this just goes to prove that....
Remember when a 5-year-old wants a candy bar and throws a fit for one and mommy says no - it's never their fault for acting like the children they are - it's "mommies fault."
Well you're seeing the same thing happen today on capitol hill - democrats are the 5-year-olds crying for candy and republicans are the parent saying "no." "No" being Obamacare.
"if you don't give me candy mommy I'm not going to clean my room"
The Republicans are acting the same way. If they can't repeal Obamacare, they won't do anything. They are expecting the Senate to rubber stamp the House bills, and when they don't we hear "Where's the Senate?" They're flushing your crap, that's where they are. And instead of learning their lesson, they just go and do it again.
The Democrats could compromise more, if they wanted too. However, sending up the same bill time after time to be voted down time after time doesn't exactly help the situation either.
Not that I'd expect you to see that.
We keep electing the same clowns over again, and expect the circus will be different this time. Then somebody says "term limits" but still votes for the incumbent. Until the American people wake up and realize that the worst thing they could possibly do is vote for the same party, this is what you get.
