the creepiest thing is-Harry Reid refused to accept the provision that legislature and staff go onto the Affordable Care ACT. if it's great for us, shouldn't it be great for them? HONK!

Boehner's not the head of the GOP in Congress. The Majority Leader is. Boehner is the Speaker of the House.

The legislative branch has been pulling stunts like this for decades. Doesn’t matter if it is a Democratic or Republican majority. Very idealistic blogger. I like his site, though. Thanks.

I wouldn't call it "creepy". I don't understand thep procedural moves, but they frequently come to this point when they can't agree on a budget.

I cannot understand the politics of it, though. We had a real problem. PPACA, while far from perfect, solves many problems. They're hurting themselves by arguing this is something to worthy this nonsense.

  What is PPACA? You mean Obamacare? Sorry, no problem is so serious that I will surrender myself into slavery to solve it.
  
  Other than giving the federal gov't power beyond that granted in the Constitution, exactly what problems does it solve?

If it upsets the libs, it has to be good.

It prevents a RINO from mucking up the plan....

  That thinking leads to these theatrical battles followed by a compromise agreement to keep gov't spending on punishing evil-doers and "helping" people growing at least as fast as GDP.

    RINOs are the ones who do the "compromising" (using the Democrat definition; give in to everything the Democrats demand with some kind of fig-leaf token granted in return.)

      I'm saying the whole Democrat / Republican battle is theatrical. I'm not saying it's scripted. It's just won't solve any problems.

        It's only a Democrat/Republican battle because a minority of conservatives in the Republican party will no longer go-along-to-get-along with the progressives controlling the Republican party.
        If that minority wins, it will begin solving the real problems.

I am more concerned about the number of bills and budgets that passed the house and went to the Senate and Harry Reid won't allow them to come up for a vote or allow them to be debated. Too much power for that little weasle.
