43. "a president who is not willing to negotiate"?

Thu Oct 3, 2013, 03:34 PM

Oct 2013

The ACA was negotiated in the Senate, hashed out in the House, fried by the Supreme Court, gradually implemented over the past four years.

What can't the Republicans understand about that? It is a done deal.

If they want to make a change here or there, let them offer a bill on the floor.

Using the budget as a bludgeon to get rid of a law they don't like when they know they don't have the votes in the Senate or the signature of the president is just bullying.

But then, isn't that what Republicans are about? Bullying?

I agree. And I feel the same way about Rachel Maddow...... TheDebbieDee Oct 2013 #32

Maddow's strong suit is clearly explaining complex issues alfredo Oct 2013 #34

But those of us with short attention spans cannot wait for her TheDebbieDee Oct 2013 #40

But whose fault is that? alfredo Oct 2013 #41

It's not entirely my fault. A good speaker should also have the ability TheDebbieDee Oct 2013 #44

But cutting to the chase can omit important details. alfredo Oct 2013 #47
