I tell ya...

Ditch FNC and learn to shut down the instant gratification of TV network news.

And the instant stomach turmoil caused by TV network news.

Me? Voted, spent time with family with over-the-air TV mostly off, learned results this morning. No big deal.

They may not have the votes to override, but it would be politically shrewd to paste the Obamacare bill on the foreheads of every democrat who refuses to vote to override. Their republican opponents in 2016 would have a very easy time showing the constituents who was picking their pockets.

But instead of giving the people what they want, the stupid party will end up losing seats in 2016 playing don’t offend anyone (especially not democrats), prevent defense politics — again.

All of it must be repealed because ‘you have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.’ There are plenty of traps set up in the bill that usher in the worse kind of totalitarian socialism. The bill was not written by Congress or congressional staff. It was written by Soros think tanks. It is a ticking time bomb. No one has yet been confronted with it to the full extent.

Repeal it and at the same time keep the ban on pre-existing conditions, coverage on parent’s plan until 26, add things like making out of state plans available and remove required coverage like free birth control and abortion. Let insurance companies create the plans and add covered birth control, for a price. Then those who want that coverage pay for it and those who don’t need it like men, women over 50, and families like the Duggars, don’t have to pay that cost.

YES!

Finish the BORDER FENCE!

Build one fence ASAP!

Build a second fence next to it and build a road for the Border Patrol and their “Paddy-wagons”!

Build a third fence next to them and fill the “gap” between fences with coils of razor-wire! That third fence will serve to protect any deer and antelopes who ignore the border from painful cuts.

Since chain-link fencing with a barbed wire cap can be bought, off-the-shelf, from almost any big hardware store, the COST of the materials needed for the fence should be low.

Since the labor required to install a chain-link fence is pretty basic, the COST of that labor should be low.

The President has the power to ignore lawsuits that would stop a “private” border fence. He needs to use that power.

Let’s turn the “flood” of illegals into a “trickle”...

Clearly this is unpossible. I mean, it’s not like anyone said that Mitch would do exactly this when people gave him command of the senate.

I for one am just shocked.

LOL. Mitch didn’t even bother waiting for the election smoke to clear.

All these wins. And people just couldn’t find it within themselves to decap the biggest problem we have.

Cruz now has an open back for the knives to stick out from and we may as well nickname him “Porcupine”.

Well, lets start holding ‘feet to the fire folks’. Just like you all PROMISED.

I find no cause for celebration in this election result.

It's nothing more than a speed bump on the road to Gomorrah.

There it goes.

He won’t repeal ObamaCare and he won’t defund it.

Just FYI, Arizona tried to continue building the border fence, raising money online from contributors. Obama/Holder SUED Arizona and the effort was shut down. When the AG is so corrupt too, it is difficult to move on saving the country.

Maybe it’s time for Congress to pass a “Bill To Help Arizona’s Children” that would fund school lunches for Arizona’s children AND would fund construction of the Border Fence.
