jack;
For someone to make remarks like you do, it shows ignorance, disrespect, and the knowledge of a grapefruit.
Obama care was designed from ideas that were thought up by republicans, but as I've said before, they were just faking the funk to get v**es, as they always do.
And they knew they were never going to follow through with it, they were doing the same thing J. Boner did in 2010, when he lied, and swore that he had listen to the people, and he and his cronies were going to create jobs, because that is what the people wanted.
republicans lie a lot, and since they have really gullible people, that actually believe their B/S, they keep them well fed with B/S.
As we all know by now, except for the "Well fed" they haven't created a single job, just like they knew they had no intention to ever follow through with the health care promise.
Because republicans do not give a damn about anybody, that can't come up with a few billion dollars at any given time.
republicans will do ANYTHING, except what it takes to actually earn a v**e.
That is why they are so busy, trying to c***t certain people out of their rights to v**e, that is pretty low, but they don't care if it will get them a v**e.
republicans are a very bad influence on everything, especially our children.
The fact that our children are more into politics now than ever before.
They hear, and even witness republicans c***ting, lying, and disrespecting others, just like you do.
And I really don't give a damn, about your thinking, or saying that I am playing some kind of race card.
Because with me, you will only get the t***h, and what I truly feel.
It really pisses me off, when I see people like you, and so many other republicans, teaching our children to be bigots, and r****t, just because there is a black man in our white house.
You have that "Nugent" sickness, and that is the very type thing that is tearing this country apart, and down.
As I wrote earlier, I really do not give a damn about what you think, that is your problem.
But, I do care about our children being influenced by that foul, disrespectful crap, that they are witnessing from people like you.

What's tearing this country apart is people like you who are the true bigots of this country. Your President has done nothing but lie ever since he got into the WH and while he was running for office. He has not kept a single promise that was made. He had the majority in both Houses of Congress for 2 years and could have gotten wh**ever he wanted done. All he did was ram Obamacare down the country's throat and lie about what it would do. "If you want to keep your insurance, you can keep your insurance, period."
I'm not going to spell out all the lies he has told because it has been posted on this forum a number of times, but it doesn't matter to you because no matter what, some white guys says he is lying, it's r****m.
The only r****t in this country today are the B****s and the Muslims, period. Like it or not, that is the t***h but that doesn't matter to a r****t.

Floyd, you are right.....especially the last sentence. But, we really do not get a choice.
We are GIVEN choices by the powers that be. And, those "choices" are bought and paid for.
Until we remove the supreme court decisions allowing super pacs and unlimited donations, we have no power to choose and elect politicians responsible to the public.....not the billionaires like the Koch brothers.....where the money=power now lies.....and thus results in e******ns not propitious to US well being.
Time will tell if the US public will ever get off its azz and do something. At this point, I haven't much hope.

Unintended Consequences

This is an excellent summary of the problem of name calling. However the people who need it probably won't read it.

Jack-St. Peter would not have been successful in repealing Obamacare ,regardless of him having a pre-ponderance of evidence indicating that it needed to go, as long as Obama was in office. Believe the Freedom
Caucus is now the thorn in the side of the GOP only because they want to do what they promised the American people they would do if given the opportunity. Ryan and company wanted to pass a Health Care bill just for the sake of having done so, without doing any of the leg work required to see if it would do the intended job. Results were that premiums would increase for two more years before they headed downward (in other words, trust us as it will happen). To go off half -cocked to meet a self- imposed deadline is both naive and foolish. The only way to drain the swamp in DC is term/age limits for congress. Most of the old timers will do wh**ever it takes for them to retain their jobs which often is diametrically opposed to what would be good for the country as a whole. These are professional politicians who could not hold a job in the private sector so they hang on and l***h off the taxpayer for a lifetime. The system is totally corrupt on both sides of the aisle and it will take a strong, determined president years to clean it up if it ever can be done. Trump is trying but faces stiff opposition from democrats and the media so it is an uphill battle. Never, have I seen a president so outwardly villified and dis-respected by the opposition and the media as is Trump. We can only hope that he will remain strong and resolute and do the job
to which he was elected and show the world what America is made of. PS. Re labelling/name calling-good post. Will try to temper remarks and avoid labels as they really do not serve any useful purpose except to vent. America First !!!

Unintended Consequences

I agree with some of your points such as term limits for politicians. In addition we need to get big money out of politics. As long as politicians have to amass a huge War chest in order to be elected, first of all they can't keep their mind on what they're supposed to, and secondly they can be bought by the people who contribute to them.
Trump is being vilified on several counts. One is that he makes blunders, huge blunders such as calling Pakistan and saying how wonderful they are when they are archenemies of India whom we do not want to alienate.
He is being vilified because he's signing executive orders reversing things that are highly important to people. Take for an example, environmental regulations. I live near the Great Lakes and there's all sorts of things that need to be done to keep the Great Lakes in good shape. This needs to be done on a federal level since there are multiple States surrounding these Lakes. Defunding the EPA and cutting back on hiring people for the EPA will most likely keep the great lakes from being repaired.
These are just a few of the examples that people are upset about.
