I'm noticing a trend.

All that was accomplished is that we get to do it all over again in a few months.

No long term solution to spending

No long term solution to SS & Medicare

Tax system is overly complicated

I was trying to think if ever in my life, I could remember any major political party being so irrelevant. I have never seen it. I have never seen a major political party simply occupy placeholders, as the Republican party has been doing. There has not been any serious opposition...against what's happening in this country. The Republicans have done everything they can to try to make everyone like them and what they've ended up doing is creating one of the greatest political disasters I've ever seen in my lifetime...I was pondering if I could ever remember...a time when a political party just made a decision not to exist, for all intents and purposes.

Oh please, please, PLEASE! The closer to the 2014 midterm elections the better.

And while you're at it, could you please nominate Sarah Palin for something?
Wow, I never thought I would see the day Rush would say that about the GOP. This is truly a glorious day.

And when I saw a thread started by DonDiego titled "Last Thoughts," I was worried that maybe...well, let's just say I was glad it wasn't about this subject.

They still have their battles against gay marriage and evolution to keep them relevant.
OMG...Liberals do this every single time, even after a modest victory. You just set yourself up for major embarrassment down the road. James Carville declared just a few years ago that the Dems would have a stranglehold on government for the next 40 years and it only took a couple of years for that prediction to be proven wrong. Peter Beinart, who is about as liberal as they come, doesn't even consider the end of the government slimdown a Dem victory. Obama has put this country in so deep a hole already and Obamacare will accelerate the digging. I'm not sure what the Repubs thinking was on delaying it for a year. Full implementation is a huge win for them. People will be so pissed off at the Dems when this already shitty Obama economy tanks even more there is no telling how big the midterms landslide will be.
