GOP We Won't Do Or Pass Anything Until You Give Us The Power To Do Worse.

The GOP, conservatives, and teabaggers are not worried about the elections because they believe they have gerrymandered and vote rigged to the point where they cannot be removed from office. They can keep the House and obstruct permanently. They can deliver a government that is completely frozen into inaction.

What "Bonehead" and the GOP crew is saying is that we won't do anything until you give us complete power to do things that are much worse for the country, life and limb. All you have to do is imagine what the country would be like an look like if they had the power to pass and implement ALL OF THEIR AGENDA. Add up all the GOP wants to do and you have a real life "chamber of horrors" as if things are not bad enough already.

In a sense the GOP is punishing the country for electing Obama and they are determined that everything crashes until they get their way.

What is most appalling is how many voters support them.

Their days are numbered, shame we have to waste all that time though

but as Willie Nelson sang "Still is still moving to me"

and everyday is one day forward.

Just look at the health plan, vast majority of America is now happy with major parts of it.
(I for one have saved 65% from 2013 to just last year. Saving MONTHLY $1450 a month)

President Obama is at 50plus in the polls
Congress is at 10%

and from day one, President Obama, with zero ego, had his eye on the long term prize

and it's one day closer to happening.

The GOP will not be giving up control of Congress for many years because of gerrymandering, not to mention the disillusionment Obama's second term is unleashing.
