    The media, late night talk show hosts, numerous democrats, and now Bill Clinton...
    Bashing and/or chanting to fix Obamacare!
    Sounds racist to me

    What I think is funny is not just the lunacy of all the racist accusations, if you were against the President's policies in any way, but all of the democrats flocking to the side Ted Cruz got accused of shutting the government over. He warned everyone until the end. Now, all the democrats that voted against a proposal in 2010 put forward by a republican senator are proposing the exact same bill to delay and fix Obamacare. What phony hypocrites. They need to get reelected so suddenly everything Ted Cruz warned about is their idea!

    no - but it was George Bush who purposely tied up the website to sign on for AHCA.
    Barry should have had Algore on the website team since he invented the internet and held the lock box.

    Sounds like a good strategy for running the largest enterprise on earth. As long as we remove anyone with any experience we should be all set.

    I think James was talking about experience raising the debt ceiling without raising the debt.
    It is very difficult to do and we are very fortunate to have an unwavering group that are experts at it.

    Or experience in gerrymandering your district. Makes it a whole lot easier making a career out of it.

    Or experience in dealing with Washington insiders who call all the shots, and write bills in the thousands of pages that you have to vote for to see what's in it. Now, there's some people with experience!

    Or experience in raising thousands of times more in cash than the job actually pays, just so you can show us all how you're helping us, and how we need you for another two, four, or six years.

    Or experience in becoming a millionaire many times over after too many years in Washington.

    Or experience in trading favors with some other slime bucket at least your equal, because you need him to vote for your bill.

    It's all experience we pay for, and it ain't worth it.

    Are you contending that the current leaders are doing well? Almost 90% of the country would disagree.

    If your going to throw out the racist BS please be specific on how it's racist. The facts are there are plenty aspects of Obama Care that deserve criticism.I'm looking forward to reading your next post with those specifics

    Come on...have you not noticed that President Obama is black???
    Therefore, if you disagree with him or his policies it HAS to be because he is black.
    It is well documented.
    Do this, Google: racism Obama "New York Times"
    I rest my case.

    Really I think it is because he is a democrat, was like that when Clinton was in the White House and it will be that way again in 2016 when another Clinton is in the White House. Here is hoping that either side will come up with better candidates. I still think Gov. Huntsman would have made a good president, but because he is morman, would that be racist too?

    Quite the contrary.
    Since he is mormon he can openly be bashed, in anyway, to make an opposing point.
    Now, if Huntsman were a black mormon...that would be interesting.
    No wait...I take that back.
    That would be the same as him being a black conservative.
    My mistake. You could freely bash in that case.
    Conservatism/religion trumps color.
    UNLESS...oh, forget it

    Mel hit the nail on the head. Here is the issue with voting out the incumbents for the sake of voting out the incumbents is that we as a population continue to vote in more of the same. The statement that either side will come up with a better candidate indicates what the real issue is here. That Americans for the most part believe that voting for a Republican or Democrat because it is the lesser of 2 evils allows the broken system to continue.

    The only hope for changing the system, or the results that it produce is to realize that Democrats and Republicans are in business to defeat the other and not to "do the right thing" or "work in the interest of the American people"

    I suggest that a vote for anyone other than a Democrat or a Republican or "throwing your vote away" is actually a vote against this system. If the Dems and Repubs were to find one day that in order to earn the votes that had been thrown away, they would have to do so on the strength of merit of their actions, perhaps their behavior would change.

    Voting out the incumbents for the sake of voting out incumbents don't really do us any good y'all

    James, I agree... I contend that we need to get more independents elected to Congress in order to be a buffer between the two parties. Only needs to be about 20% or so... a good portion of them would also be non-religious (the largest, least represented voting block in the country... note to D.C.!!)... then the GOP and the Dems would have to lean towards the middle to get things done.

    Unfortunately, a vote for an independent is a guarantee of a democrats victory. The dems are so ideologic, they won't change. They vote for what they believe is the cause. I think a number of republicans would vote differently but not the dems. By the way, I saw on Drudge this morning that an instructor was teachin students that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racists because others may prefer pita or tortilla's. How can someone of hispanic descent, actually teach that and believe a sandwich can be racist? Have we gone totally mad as a society? this over sensitivity crap has to stop. Nobody has a right to not be offended. If your skin is that thin, just go shoot yourself. You are not fit to live in society!

    Am I reading that right Sandy? At first I thought you were saying nobody can be offended, but as I read it again, is it defending my right to be offended? But yet if I'm offended, because my skin is too thin, I shouldn't be allowed to live in our society? Do you really mean that? Are you taking away peoples freedom to be offended? Granted, sometimes what offends people might be silly to me or you, but who are we to tell them they can't be?

    As far as the independent allowing democrats to win, that is everyone's fault for voting parties and not individuals. There are democrats that can be in the center as well.

    Peanut butter and Jelly is DEFINATELY the most racist food item. Brownies and apple pis are close behind. One day, we may have a society in which all food groups can work together without the fear of heartburn and Montezumas revenge. I think that was racist. What the hell are we talking about?

    Mel, in my fantasy world, some people are too stupid to exist. If you think a sandwich is racist, then I am afraid that person falls into that category. They are not capable of functioning in a normal society! At that point I don't care if they are offended by the sandwich. Too bad!

    I guess I didn't realize your comment on being offended was just about the sandwich.

    Although I wonder what Italians think when I order one at sub shops? (well what I wonder is, since a Subway Italian is different than the one I get at Firehouse Subs, or Dagwood's.....are they offended that Subway's might not really be their definition of Italian? Actually I prefer the Spicy Italian, I don't think the ham is Italian, but maybe it is and I offended an Italian Sub shop owner?)
