Pelosi and Reid control the media? They can prevent the GOP from putting forward and in front of the people their policy proposals? Really? I did not realize that the media in this country is controlled by the Speaker and the Majority Leader. If so, the current Speaker is doing a pizz poor job of taking advantage of that control that comes with his office. I see Congressional Democrats putting forth their ideas each and every freaking day. You better tell Boehner to to put a stop to that.

No, but they did control what bills get voted on. Get with the program dude.

Planned Parenthood operates a little over 800 health centers across the nation. And this is what the GOP wants to shut down to the degree that it is funded by the federal government (appr. 1/3 of it).

Wait, what? The Democrats have controlled Congress from Jan 2007 - Jan 2011. They were, as such, in charge to pass the budget for FY 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. That's 4 years and hence 4 budgets. Now,

Yeah, I screwed up again. 2008. I have an excuse though. I have pneumonia right now and the meds are wicked. Catch me when my head is clearer.

As for this so called movement that the dems are claiming. Do you realize how small 32 billion is compaired to the deficit? It is arguing over pennies. We should be cutting many hundreds of billions.

The figure may be small (I think it is) but it's the figure that was put forth by Boehner as the goal. That's where he wanted to arrive. They actually arrived at 34bn. So, what's the issue? Why not take it, claim victory and move on to the 2012 budget debate which is where there's an actual chance to get something accomplished? Why risk everything by pandering to the religious zealots and shut the federal government down for them? Makes no sense. Again, 'The Architect' realizes this and he is a very smart man when it comes to managing the politics of issues - one of the smartest in the nation in this regard as far as I can tell.

ETA: I was just messing with you on the years. Couldn't let that opportunity pass...

Would you not agree that the GOP was very effective in defeating a meaningful healthcare reform despite lacking votes in Congress to stop it? They did that with pure opposition and no constructive input. They could have done the latter but chose to simply do the former. They had a stage and didn't use it. Why? Well, because they had no ideas beyond denying Obama and the Democrats any victory on the issue. To sit there and say that they couldn't propose policy is dishonest and you know it.

The GOP had f### all to do with castrating "healthcare reform". That was solely down to the overarching greed of certain Democrats, who wanted to get everything they could, while they could and so delayed, subverted and obstructed the Bill while the GOP didn't have the votes to stop it.

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to myself

The GOP had zero power to change a thing on Obamacare. Any input would have been ignored. The only thing they could do was stand together so they could say "I told you so" when it all went to hell. I only wish they could have stopped Obamacare. The only thing worse than nothing at all was what we got. I hope it dies a quick death. This was a 100% dem clusterfukc. They own it. They are welcome to it.
