Yep. The Republican response to this has been simple.

- Women don’t belong in the military.
- Because of male hormones, women should expect to get raped.

I know this is petty, but does anyone else want to tell this guy to push his glasses up where they belong, or take them off?

When US employers stop paying wages that are higher than in their home country.

Why do you think that migrant farm workers have been coming to this country for decades?

From California to Georgia, in the areas where you have a high number of migrant farm workers, the demographics tend to significantly favor Republicans.

Now imagine what would happen to the Republicans politically if they included migrant farmers and outlawed them from the US.

“Boehner will help everyone out . . .”

That’s what it comes down to.

Since S&P just raised the country’s credit rating and at the same time warned the Republicans to NOT play around with the debt ceiling again, I’m going to bet that Boehner will do the opposite and screw around with the debt ceiling and scuttle the immigration bill.

Republicans are now happy as clams. They are stopping anything Obama proposes and they’ve effectively shut down the government with the sequester. What more could they ask for?

If I were a betting man, I’d say that the anti-marijuana people are are the losing side of the argument.

More and more I’m reading about big $$$$$ getting involved with this as a potential market.

If politicians don’t listen to anything else, they do listen when $$$$$ speaks.

Oh please. There are a lot of things bad about ACA, but the IRS isn’t about to go knocking on anyone’s door.

Nixon SOLD his health insurance changes to the country. Obama? Not so much.

Just can’t get over that racism thing, can you?

Don’t give me non-sequitur unless you’re a liberal such as myself who was against these things under W and is against them now.

This is just what the right asked for. They have ZERO right to complain about it.

You know that I was born and raised in Chicago. I have spent most, but not all of my 65 years in the area.

You want to tell me what a “Chicago politician” is?

There are more small town politicians that go to jail every year than “Chicago politicians”.

Obama. All true liberal Democrats opposed these changes to the law after the Republicans covered W’s butt when he was doing it illegally. Obama is hardly a died in the wool liberal (despite the GOP calling him THE most liberal Senator in the US Senate).

This is EXACTLY what the Republican, tea party, folks asked for. So please save me your outrage.

Sort of like all of those photos of Cantor standing behind Boehner?

If I was Boehner, I’d be wearing a flak jacket.

A review of the commanders who reversed decisions, and their superiors is in order. Why shouldn’t THOSE officers be canned?

I feel as if we’re having the discussion about the catholic church and pedophiles.

LOTS of similarities.

Can’t remember the name of the book, but recently there was a book published about the military. It compared officers from WW II until now and how their commanders held them accountable, or not. The gist of the book was that an officer from up to the Vietnam era would prove that they couldn’t win battles, they would be ousted from command. As the author phrased it, these days an enlisted man/woman would get a stiffer penalty for losing their rifle than a commander would get for losing multiple battles.

I wonder what the response of these folks would be if a male/gay soldier raped another male?

Chambliss is correct.

Don’t you folks know about those pheromone thingys? ;-)

Whenever any group forms for a PR stunt and there are more reporters than protesters, you know there’s a problem.

The tea party comes to mind.

The acknowledged way of changing brain structure is a lobotomy. Something the good doctor seems to be well versed in.

Please show me where one of these generic ballots was successful in predicting the actual outcome of a Congressional (across the board) election.

Tip O’Neill. “All politics is local.”

This guy is no worse than the shill professors who told the world how smoking wasn’t bad for your health.

This “study” is no different that the “studies” that were funded by the tobacco companies, the oil companies (anti-clean air), and most other studies where the backers want to fund a study that supports their claims. They are studies where you are given the results and then told to do a study to substantiate the results.

Unfortunately, there is a great number of people who buy into this faux-science. ie. the tobacco studies.

Is money the most important thing is life?

This coming from a Republican who thinks that taxes are the worst thing in life for the rich and for corporations.
