Obama closes the Ocean.

[code1211]

161 GOP-sponsored amendments to the ACA were accepted.

Just a tad disingenuous and I use this word as a courtesy only.

All of these amendments were accepted prior to the actual passage of the bill which passed on a straight party line vote.

Now, can you please do as I asked and cite the meetings that OBAMA has had with the Republicans regarding the ACA?

Slate examines the GOP amendments to a Senate health care bill.

I am not surprised at anything that happens as a result of the GOP's government shutdown

Anyone who doesn't like what the GOP is doing to the USA because it hates President Obama should contact their Congress person and tell them to do the job that they were elected to do.

Funny, guys like Ted Cruz are doing EXACTLY what they were elected to do.

How dare they?

Only angry old guys would recognize that face!:lol:

:lamo by saying nothing at all? You can't actually win a debate if you don't say anything.

Or if every thing that you and those on your side say is rejected by the majority of the American people.

Take a look at last year's election for a good example. Remember how that turned out?

Most Americans rejected the GOP and it's out of touch, running out of time 'ideas' :lamo

Don't take my word for this, check out the results. They are not a secret.

Take a look at the White House, Who's living there?




"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch, running out of time, GOP.

:roll:

Polls about ACA prove otherwise, and contrary to popular liberal belief the ACA wasn't on the ballot.

That being said, the People's House is still controlled by Republicans....that is telling....

Tell us what the GOP has accomplished since 2010.

We're waiting.

Take all of the time that you need

And you won't need much.

GOP doesn't control the Government. So what have the Democrats accomplished would be the better question....

Well, other than stopping the democrats from steamrolling the American people I guess they haven't done much but that single success is, as evidenced by all the whining, pretty damned significant.

 

[shrubnose]

Correct.

The American people took a look at the GOP's ideas last November and said, "No thanks.

Don't take my word for this, take a little time and research how the GOP got it's backside handed to it last November.

The GOP controls very little because their 'ideas' have been rejected by American voters nationwide.

 

[davidtaylorjr]

Correct.

I see you didn't bother to answer the question.

You keep thinking that.

They kicked the GOP's butt nationwide last November, check it out.

still not answering the question I see.

 

[shrubnose]

You keep thinking that.

Thank you, I will.

Get back with us in about thirty years, after the GOP is reduced to a minor regional party by the massive demographic change that is coming at it right now and tell us what you think about the GOP.

I'll tell you what I think: Right now the GOP is on its way to join the Whigs.

And it doesn't need much of a push because it's digging its own hole.

 

[shrubnose]

You keep thinking that.

Wrong.

I'll keep knowing that and you keep 'thinking' the same thoughts that 'helped' the GOP last year.

 

[shrubnose]

You keep thinking that.

I will.

Because it's an ironclad fact, whether you like it or not.

 

[code1211]

You are technically correct. (the best kind of correct!)

However, one party is objectively more culpable in what has occurred. That would be the Republicans. Their "negotiation" has been "Can we have your house? If not, we'll burn it down!"
"No."
"Ok, half your house or we'll burn it down."
"No."
"How about we just take your garage?"
And so on.

That isn't negotiation. They had plenty of opportunity to negotiate during the legislative process where 161 GOP amendments actually got incorporated into the bill. (in exchange for zero GOP votes) Subsequently, 40+ attempts have been made to repeal the bill and a challenge before the Supreme Court.

We already negotiated. Get over it. The Democrats are not going to derail their biggest legislative effort in a decade "in exchange for" 6 weeks of continued government operations. This was never a reasonable demand.

Why did they refuse to even talk as they have refused since the day Obama was elected?
