Tired of the South.

Progress in America is being slowed, and normal, productive states are being threatened by the most backward, racist, superstitious hellholes, primarily the Old Confederacy, with being pulled down to their Third World levels.

If Greece can amicably leave the European Union, why doesn't the South make the same decision with the United States? Who would support keeping them now if the Confederate states wanted to go?
They're nothing but a drain in every way and without the South, there would be no establishment GOP left in the U.S. and by that reasoning, no Blue Dogs, like Ben Nelson and Joe Donnely to fuck up the Democrats


No one likes the Health Care mandates, which was always just a bad conservative Republican plan about how to use market principles to finance health care reform.
However once pusillanimous, compromise-for-the-sake-of-compromise and conservative Democrats embraced the idea,  which, of course, is a prime feature of RomneyCare in Massachusetts, the GOP abandoned it.

Unfortunately the mandate is the financial edifice upon which Obama's health care bill is built. It shouldn't have been. Progressives warned from the beginning that single-payer whether Medicare For All or a public option is what the Democrats should have fought for.

But corrupt corporate Democrats catered the the GOP, particularly Chuck "Death panels" Grassley and mandates were baked into the equation. Now, congressional Republicans are campaigning on tossing out the entire bill.


Studies consistently show that the Affordable Care Act is driving down the price of healthcare-- good for consumers, not good for the folks who finance conservative politicians' career paths-- and that the decade-long erosion in access to medical services will be accelerated if the GOP gets its way and repeals healthcare reform.

On Thursday Boehner spoke for the whole party when he said they want to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. No, they don't want to start fresh; they just want to wipe the slate clean and leave it at that. “We voted to fully repeal the president’s healthcare law as one of our first acts as a new House majority, and our plan remains to repeal the law in its entirety. Anything short of that is unacceptable.”

"Unacceptable".....The operative term for the GOP agenda, keep the majority of Americans teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, while the poor, the elderly and the sick can simply muck about in abject poverty.

Fun for the whole family!
