HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: Sanity must return...



John Boehner and his fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives are in a very difficult position (all of their own doing).

What started out as a mission to de-fund Obamacare has now spiraled into a total quagmire?

As I mentioned before, the fact that they tried to challenge an existing law; a law passed by Congress and legitimized by the Supreme Court was the height of absurdity. Their argument for doing what they were doing was that the American people wanted them to challenge the law; excuse me but did not the nation elect Obama, the man that stood for Obamacare and did not elect Romney who pledged to repeal Obamacare???...please don’t insult our intelligence any more…

Anyway, since that move backfired big time, they then started saying that Obama refuses to negotiate with them and the question that was immediately asked was what the fuck should Obama negotiate with you…the law is the law; negotiations are over because it passed!

Now the Republicans have shifted the spin to a budget issue; forget about Obamacare.

So we have a government shutdown and are looking at a government default; both are hurting our economy big time, all because Obama will not talk about the budget? When did that become an issue or did you just make it an issue because you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about now…

This is actually very embarrassing for us as a nation because this whole mess was produced for no good reason by supposed adults that are behaving like spoiled, mindless brats.

I am hoping that there are some Republicans in the House who actually have the welfare of the country as their primary responsibility and not some stupid Republican ideology pushed by some Republicans with sanity issues.

With the help of reasonable Republicans a vote could be taken to eliminate de-funding Obamacare from the table completely (it should never have been an issue in the first place) and vote to re-start the government and raise the debt ceiling until after next year’s mid-term election when hopefully the voters will throw all the bums that caused this mess out on their ears and elect people that will actually do the job they were elected to do; run the government not shut it down.

John Boehner and his ilk is in real trouble and sounding more insane as the days go by. I do not see any exit for them that will not harm (permanently) their political reputations and futures.
