Anyone calling it the ‘affordable care act’ is lying.

The Chamber now represents Big Business. They do almost nothing to help the little guy get bank loans.

I agree. There are a number of reasons and most are correct.

WTH IS the Chamber of Commerce now days?

Business owners are not all corporations and conglomerates. Who does this guy think he is. Small businesses are members, and can’t possibly be all that aligned with Tom Donahue’s elitist attitude and global goals for one world trade at the cost of freedom and liberty in the US.

I really don’t get it. We need a counter to these high hats, maybe a Chamber of American Commerce.

Homofascist liberal loon “corporate interest groups” carry no weight with me.

Corporate liberalism is here today (but maybe not to stay). nearly 400 pro-same sex marriage corporations pressuring the Supremacist Court. Global climate change initiatives. Amnesty for illegals (and no prosecution for hiring illegal immigrants).

Whether they are GOPe or crony communists matters not.

Basically, two sides of the same coin, driving for the same conclusions for different reasons.

All of them against the American electorate and their God-Given rights protected by the US Constitution that many have fought and died for.

...defund President Barack Obama's signature health care law resulting in a 16-day federal government shutdown...it is quite strange that three days ago Pennsylvania Governor Wolf rejected in toto the new budget proposed by the state legislature and thereby shut down the entire state - it still remains shut as far as I know although I've seen nothing on Philly TV as late that would tell me one way or another - but then Wolf is a 'rat while the legislature is Republican, so that shutdown probably doesn't count......

“Donahue said while the Affordable Care Act is deeply flawed, the chamber supports its aims at lowering health care costs and providing access to affordable health insurance. And he said Cruz and other Republicans, should focus more on getting results rather than political grandstanding.”

This is one of the most asinine statement I’ve read in a long time, and and there’s a ton of them to pick from.

Donahue said the chamber, which traditionally supports small government, low tax policies most commonly associated with Republicans, would be supporting some Democrats


ok where are the Republicans who whine when Conservatives stay home cause why aren’t they whining at the CoC for supporting Democrats????????

i was given that book as a kid (it was a prize from my little league football coach for coming up with the best trick play for use in the championship game). i didn't know then that the book was such a sham. JFK didn't even write it. it was ghostwritten in an effort to raise his profile for future political aspirations. he got a Pulitzer Prize for it without doing much (or any?) of the work. come to think of it, does that sound like anyone else we know of??? somebody from Kenya maybe??? hmmm.

note that to this day, the JFK cultists are still covering up for him. the Kennedys and their sycophants are a pox on this country.

Ted should come back with something akin to “Spineless toothless jellyfish shouldn’t be barking orders- and telling people; to shut up- it just exposes their partisan aliances with the left- which by the way, I’ve exposed in my new book- feel free to buy a copy- and just know I will NOT sit down and shut up because sitting down and shutting up, like you cowards do is precisely why we’re losing this country you dolt”
