Nothing really gets done anymore because that just means the loss of a campaign issue.

Exactly. Besides, I don't see how their hearts can really be in it when it doesn't affect them because they're already exempt. It's been at least decades since we've had elected representatives of the caliber of those who said "Give me liberty or give me death", and the current crop even less so. Most of them are just the other wing of the globalist party or in it for their own personal power and ambition. The whole condition of modern politics makes it neccesarily so.

Just look at how we had to lean on our side in Congress to keep them from passing blanket amnesty. I know that issue will return. Just like the left doesn't give up on homo marriage until they've gotten their way, whatever it takes and no matter how many times it takes.

Glad my faith is elsewhere than in politicians. This country is soon to be no longer significant in world history.

I'm with you. I can only look out for my own soul and pay hard for America but its not looking good. Even here at FR I'm seeing posters trash the founders and calling for a dictator.

A far better tactical maneuver by the House would be a one page bill adding all federal employees to obamacare with no exemptions. Then have the dims explain why they are against such "fairness".

But Boehner has been studying the John Roberts school of lightweight politics and we get another meaningless vote. More fluff that can be easily deflected by the dims as election year posturing. Stupid party indeed.
