Republicans have now lost three successive elections to control the Senate, and they've lost the last two presidential elections. Nonetheless, they fought tooth and nail to kill President Obama's health care initiative. They lost that fight, but with the corporate wing of Democrats, they managed to bend it toward private interests.
So, we should be here on this: Obamacare, as it is known, is deeply flawed. Big subsidies to the health insurance industry, a bonanza for lobbyists, no public option and, as the New York Times reported this week, "Millions of Poor Are Left Uncovered by Health Law" -- largely because states controlled by Republicans refused to expand Medicaid.

Despite what they say, Obamacare is only one of their targets. Before they will allow the government to reopen, they demand employers be enabled to deny birth control coverage to female employees; they demand Obama cave on the Keystone pipeline; they demand the watchdogs over corporate pollution be muzzled and the big bad regulators of Wall Street sent home. Their ransom list goes on and on. The debt ceiling is next. They would have the government default on its obligations and responsibilities.
When the president refused to buckle to this extortion, they threw their tantrum. Like the die-hards of the racist South a century and a half ago, who would destroy the union before giving up their slaves, so would these people burn down the place, sink the ship.

At least, let's name this for what it is: sabotage of the democratic process. Secession by another means.
(Video embedded in article)
We haven’t got around to the secession idea yet, but we should.
I’m beginning to understand the Civil War and, most especially, the Carpetbaggers and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, in a really different way.
Talk of secession makes leftists wet their pants.
It’s the final trump card in the control vs liberty battle we’re engaged in.
Next up:
Suspend the writ of Habeus Corpus. We’ll all be living in Guantanamo.
If this be secession then let us make the most of it!
Man are they ever setting up the Talking Points for 0bama to call the House in open rebellion. This is truly amazing to watch the lock-step thuggery happening!
Tea Party Patriots et al trying to save our form of government...hold the current leaders to the law of the land for lack of a better phrase...hold them to their oath’s of office...
and we’re the secessionist?
Consider the source. He’s been peddling left-wing conspiracy theories almost as long as I’ve been alive.
Thanks for the input, Bill. Strangely, Republicans have won control of the House, and stranger still, that's where spending decisions are made. It's that silly old Constitution again getting in the way of progressive goals.
It's probably time to retire, Bill. Seriously. This is simply embarrassing and pretty soon you're going to be wetting your pants on camera.
First this silly man tells us what a POS Obamacare is , and then he tells us to accept it.
I tell him to go Screw himself. The idiot.
If some States secede I will have to leave mine. Maryland should have seceded last time and couldn’t because of being occupied by Northern troops.
If secession not, then revolution must.
All those years of fellating LBJ took their toll on Moyers.
No numbnuts moyers. If there is session, you’ll be the first to know.
Let’s call Obamacare what it is— flat broke states and municipalities dumping their unfunded health care obligations on the rest of the country. And for an encore they’re trying to figure out what to do with the unfunded retirement plans.
I thought he was dead................Oh, he’s on PBS........That’s almost the same...................
Yeah....and the LOFO’s have believed and hung on his every word!
Moyers went strawberry fields decades ago. He thinks the FDR New Deal`brain trust’ is still in session & he’s the chairman.
Delusional looks rational next to this arrogant creep. When he wags his scolding finger, all animate creatures freeze in their tracks. Or should, anyway.
Lots of folks are now going, “Secession? Hmm....never thought of that before!”
(Racists!!! Racists!!!)
3rd War of Independence
What are you talking about? That's already happened with the NDAA of 2012.
