Obamacare and its mandate forcing people to pay a “tax” (construed by Chief Justice Roberts) to big corporate medical insurance companies, was enshrined into law by a Chief Justice appointed by a Republican president.

Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. The duo picked by the GOP to run for VP and president in 2012 actively worked to thwart real conservative legislation in Congress after 2012.

One sided free trade legislation, that gutted American industry, was the primary achievement of GOP President George H W Bush and supported strongly, for decades, by GOP members of Congress.

Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee GOP Senator Richard Burr led an oversight investigation of the intelligence community. The recent report was an almost complete whitewash. But it was “bipartisan.

GOP Senator Lindsay Graham insists his committee is going to investigate many troubling issues. Count on it.

#21 - excellent post.

I am waiting for the President to do something to put a stop to this madness. I sure hope he has some sort of plan, because right now I don't see it.

Republicans AND Democrats are at fault for the government over reach.

Republicans will rationalize their big centralized government and usurping of the Constitution in the name of fighting terrorism, spies or foreign nation states.

Democrats will rationalize their big centralized government and usurping of the Constitution in the name social justice (egalitarianism) and the environment.
