GOP: Doomed by the tea party

Wait a minute! I thought Idaho didn’t want anything from the federal government, including their money. Now that it’s cut off because of some wacko in Texas, his cohorts, and their puppet Boehner, they’re starting to worry. I have an idea, let’s take the money we’re not getting and “don’t want” from the government and replace it with the sports budget in all the schools. That’s right, cancel all sporting events until the “boo-hoo we lost” Congress decides that they can’t win (again).

Even a blind man can see what’s going on. Congress has a 5 percent approval rating thanks to the tea party. We believe and hope this time they drove the final nail in the coffin for the Republicans to ever get elected again. We can increase that 5 percent rating in November 2014 by voting democratic, but for now, I guess that’s just a part of that “bitter pill we are forced to swallow.” Is it really worth it? Hello! Realty check here. President Obama won the election resoundingly. The Affordable Care Act is a fact and law. Republicans have tried 40+ times to defeat it, now they’re holding the country hostage on the budget and raising the debt ceiling. Wah, wah, wah. Bet if President Obama wasn’t a black man, it would be a different story.

As for all the quote “idiots” who are planning to sign up or have signed up for the Affordable Care Act, why do that when you can go to the Emergency Room, wait for hours, and have the taxpayers pay for your medical bills.
