Stewart nailed it again last night..
“
Apparently, they are allowed to do that — (members of Congress) are allowed to make laws, and the President is allowed to sign laws. And what do we do if those laws are unconstitutional? Well apparently nine precogs in magic robes got together, looked at the Affordable Care Act, and decided that it was not unconstitutional.
So everything appears to have been done (waves a copy of the Constitution) literally by the book. This bill is now a law, vetted by the very system these Republicans claim to love — but to hear Republicans tell it, the whole thing could just be avoided if President Obama would just meet him halfway!
…The bill is a fucking law! …Are you familiar with how the word works? Did you see the Giants game on Sunday? Okay: they lost 31 to 7. And you know what the Giants didn’t say after that game? ‘If you don’t give us 25 more points by midnight on Monday, we are gonna shut down the NFL!!!’

that's it exactly... when you lose a fucking election, twice, you don't turn around and shut down the f'ing gov't to demand a law that's already been passed,vetted,rule constitutional,re-affirmed in 2 elections be 'repealed' just because one minority faction of one party, in one house of Congress doesn't like the fucking law.. The world doesn't work like that, you lose a goddamn 'game' fair and square and you don't come back later with a grenade and threaten to blow up the stadium if you're not 'given' the winning ball...
as for negotiating..
wtf?
there is no negotiations... it's been negotiated.. the concept of 'win/lose' has been negotiated already, you lost!
I am utterly disgusted with the media at this point.. this is not a "political chicken match" ... this is not "let's see if the Dems concede"...This false equivalency-kick they're on is bullshit.. this is one fanatical group extorting an entire country for their own sick pleasure... and should be reported as such..
speaking of fanatical groups... Stewart nailed it with this also last night..
“You’re not helping yourself. If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hardline, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world, but not with Republicans, maybe he’s not the problem.”
– JON STEWART, on Republican whining that the President would negotiate with the leaders of Iran — but not the GOP — on The Daily Show
