They win back the House - just to repeal Commiecare™ - and now they can’t do it? Replacements are needed.

They won back the House based on their claim that they would cut $100 Billion in spending.

They conveniently kicked that can down the road -- 2012.

Since 2012 is also an election year and little will get done legislatively, they will probably get that can kicked into 2013 or 2014 or off the agenda indefinitely. After all, that 'promise' already served its purpose.

Where the hell did the GOP get it into their head that the american peole would NOT LIKE a government shutdown?? or “blame” them for it?

I dont even remember the government being shut down when Clintoon was in office, and I certainly would not ‘blame’ the GOP if it did.

In fact I would be pretty HAPPY if they shut the whole place down until they figure out how to live within a budget.

Remember how GW promised to build the fence, then after the election he had Kay defund it? It served the purpose, the GW worshippers here believed every word of it.
