Gov. Deval Patrick says he hopes God will forgive Tea Party for causing government shutdown - October 02, 2013 - Patrick said the Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress, was upheld by the Supreme Court and affirmed in last year's presidential contest.

"It is about making life better and more secure for millions of Americans," he said "There is nothing to compromise there."

The people of Boston disassembled the house of Thomas Hutchinson, then lt. governor of Mass Bay Colony, later governor. He didn’t think they were right to oppose the Stamp Act. They thought they were.

Obama Care, passed by a dem controlled House and Senate, who never read the bill. Passed in the dead of night on a Christmas Eve and not one Republican voted for it.

The democrats use lies and scare tactics to control the dummies. Obama Care is all about control. We WERE a first world country until Obama took over.

The Tea Party does not have a single US Representative or single US Senator in congress yet. And we are still blamed for their problems. Show me one congress critter with a (T) after their name Patrick, you lying scumbag.

What kind of alternate universe is Patrick living in? The shutdown lies at the feet of the Democrat Party. The GOP needs to hammer home the point that the Dems think this law with all its faults and the damage resulting from it are more important than people having a 40 hour a week job.

Hey Patrick! You know what’s really embarrassing? Is that place where freedom originally ignited from the king is given over to the likes of YOU and your ilk. Then, turning into that communist crap hole you call a state up there.
Now that, sir, is embarrassing!!!

Hey, Gov;

If you find it so embarrassing, then stop spouting the 0bamatron talking points.

Better a “Tea Party Republican” than a “Stalinist Democrat”.

Asked whether Democrats should a cut a deal with House Republicans, Patrick responded quickly: "No. There are not two sides to blame in Washington. You can't cut a deal over something that's been resolved."

This is a response by a typical Democrat. The Affordable Care Act has far from been "resolved."

Many Democrats were coerced, bribed, and otherwise strong armed to vote for Obamacare without even reading and digesting the thousands of pages of legislation. The passage of the law was contentious from the beginning.

Having had three years to get the exchanges ready, the networking and software, demonstrates failure so far.

The Supreme Court may have been coerced into claiming that Obamacare is a tax! What does that mean?

More people have been taken off "affordable" health care because premiums have skyrocketed!

Thousands of jobs have been lost because of Obamacare!

Many Democrats are against Obamacare as they see it unfold and increase their costs. That is why the House of Representatives is presently dominated by Republicans.

I sense that Patrick shrieks and jumps on furniture when he sees a mouse scurrying about.

>> Deval Patrick on Wednesday said he was “embarrassed”

Commies embarrassed by their petulant behavior. Go figure...

Too bad he refuses to accept the Constitutional process.

“”Frankly, to me, it was embarrassing. We’re a first-world country and the notion that a small number of people in the Republican caucus in the House can shut down the functioning of government in a totally irresponsible way over an issue that has been resolved is unacceptable,” Patrick said.”

All the more reason to decentralize government, return the government to the states.

I wouldn’t shed a tear if Assachusetts (and the rest of communist Red England) were to slide into the ocean today.
