Now, Republicans are out with a list of demands for raising the debt ceiling, many of which have little or no connection to the federal debt. According to a report from National Review, they include:

A one-year delay of Obamacare.
Blocking Net Neutrality regulations.
Approving the Keystone Pipeline.
Blocking the EPA from regulating ash waste from coal-fired power plants.
Subjecting funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to annual Congressional appropriation.

That they are ignoring the rule ofaw and trying to blow up America's future to exert tyranny of the minority.

They need to fucking WIN SOME ELECTIONS if they want their way. I hope they all rot in hell.
