” While I agree with the anger, would a President McCain have authored / signed the Affordable Care Act into law?”

My guess? Yes.

I don’t think healthcare would even have come up as a topic had McCain won. The only reason it did was the leftism of Obama enabling the democrat supermajorities to ram it through at great cost to their own. They’d never have jumped through all those hoops with a Republican president.

Probably not, but if it had, he would. Since 2000, McCain seems to have dedicated his life to harming conservatives.

Extra fencing would be a waste of money, according to Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

The chairman of Homeland INSECURITY should have illegals routed through his back yard every hour on the hour. Oh, wait, he has a fence around his property, an alarm system and if not security on site at least has them on a moment's call.

Since when do they care about wasting money. They do it everyday and every way.

Meant to include his security at a moment’s call is inside a very wealthy gated community. Take down his security gate and move him along the non-fenced border and then we’ll see just how fast he flip flops.

Does anyone know or have a link to data?

So, apparently, is keeping the Department of Homeland Security. Let's shut it down. Stop the generational welfare scam as well, it's really a waste of money.

“In our conversations with outside groups, experts and stakeholders, we learned that it would be an inefficient use of taxpayer money to complete the fence.”

Stakeholders? What does that mean? People who have a stake in the argument? Like illegal aliens and CoC?

The 29% who are against the fence CAN NOT be U.S. citizens. We need to stop polling illegal Mexicans.

Speaking of Mexicans, 5 Hispanics burst into a $300,000 house NW of Houston (about 5 miles from me) this morning. One of them had a “tear” tattoo in the corner of his eye. They forced a mother and her two daughters into a closet and ransacked the place. Thank God no one was hurt.

This is about as far on the outer edge of town as you can get. There is no safe place.

This is UN stuff. The rest of the world wants us destroyed so they can have one world government. And that includes rinos.

I truly believe that if Obama was to refuse to leave office in 2017 the republican party would accept it. And I think this scares Hillary more than any opponent.

Mike Lee is now sending out emails saying he “needs our help” on stopping the FCC from taking over the internet.

The FCC is going to put a tax on the web. I thought only congress could raise taxes.

House heads to vote next week on border security legislation

WASHINGTON — The House is moving toward a vote on a bill aimed at securing the U.S. border
with Mexico as majority Republicans try to show they can chart their own course on
immigration, not just oppose President Barack Obama’s.

The legislation passed the House Homeland Security Committee late Wednesday on
a party-line vote of 18-12, and the full House is expected to take it up next week.

....
The bill would require operational control of high-traffic areas of the border within two
years, and operational control of the full border within five years. The bill defines
operational control as stopping or turning back all attempted border crossers, which
Democrats said was unrealistic. Some past immigration and border bills, including one
advanced in the last Congress by McCaul’s committee, have sought to block 90 percent
of would-be crossers.

I hate that I was played for a fool. And I was a fool.

When the republicans won the house I was depressed that I wasn’t excited about the win. I felt the same way when they took the senate. Neither win was anything to get excited about.

Survivors guilt. We all at some point wanted to believe and it’s hard to let go. But many of us will or have. The ones that want to crawl in the coffin with the GOP’s corpse should be left there to starve to death.

Darwin wasn’t entirely mistaken. Gene pools benefit from the lack of corrupt DNA.

I was not depressed when Boner was re-elected speaker because I was expecting it. I’m much happier when I’m not into denial.

Is Grover Norquist a true Muslim?
His wife is, so would think at the least, he would be a Muslim sympathizer.
