media has covered this new term one would believe that it was the repukes that won.

For a party that controls two parts of government, the Executive branch and the Senate, and we also gained seats in the house, it seems like it is the republicans that have the bully pulpit, not us.

Fine, the repukes are nuts, but that the media gives credibility to their budget that calls for the appeal of the ACA is outrageous.

It isn't just this, it is everything that is presented to the public through the media.

The President hasn't even finished his first quarter of the second term, and they are already pushing how the Democrats will lose both the houses in 2014.

I am getting very tired of the bashing, and that most of the MSM doesn't realize we won

when this is something like the 31st time they are trying to repeal the ACA

If this was a repug administration, they wouldn't even suggest the proposal as serious, and ridicule it. Instead they give it legitimacy

And if it was a GOP Tea-Nazi administration, whatever Ryan is proposing would already be law.

The decision to eviscerate the middle class was made by people who laugh at the idea of political parties. Our "leaders" regardless of party play their parts, paying lip service to issues that affect the people but they always seem to find a way of making their corporate paymasters happy.

We get thrown a bone now and again, but the real meat goes to the corporate paymasters and elite.
