Well, it played out as predicted. It would have been more interesting if the pundits hadn’t been crying “the sky is falling” every 5 minutes for 16 days. In the beginning, the only real question was who was going to be the hero. The answer came from an expected source…..Mitch McConnell.

As someone who has gotten through the glitches and the bugs on healthcare.gov I have a message to the Senate who is hopefully negotiating a bill to be passed today.
NO INCOME VERIFICATION! Keep it out of the bill and send POTUS Obama a clean bill.

We want a vote!!!!

That should be the Democratic manta starting now until an up and down vote on a clean CR and debt limit increase is taken in the House of Representatives.

It was more than predictable. The GOP has been saying ever since they capitulated on the taxes. They have been planning to shut down the government and threaten to default on the country’s bills if they don’t get what they want. They have said it over and over and over again. Anyone who is not expecting it has either been a) not paying attention to politics, b) totally naïve or c) brain dead. It’s like a man who tells a woman he is never going to get married at the beginning of a relationship. Deep down most women believe they can change his mind and are surprised when months/years down the line they still aren’t married. This is no surprise.

The Republican that saves the Republican party from itself by preventing a government shutdown and a fiscal crisis.

I read this this morning in the Wall Street Journal....."Confident Biden Team Sows Seeds For 2016." It goes on to say....

"Political allies of Vice President Joe Biden have concluded that he can win the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination—even if Hillary Clinton enters the contest—and are considering steps he could take to prepare for a potential candidacy."

I think it should read...."Delusional Biden Team sows seed for GOP victory in 2016. Read More

The first listing for this saying is this: It means that an intelligent person who does stupid things is still stupid. You are what you do.

As a loyal Democratic voter since 1980, I am beginning to believe that the Democratic PARTY is just plain stupid! At least that’s what their actions seem to indicate.

Ever since Sandy Hook, gun reform talk comes up in every political conversation and since we are at the beginning of a legislative cycle, every politician across the board is pledging to do something to cut down gun violence.
But in the end, very little is going to be done that will actually work to stop another Sandy Hook. It's going to be a lot of talk but little substantive action.

So they did the deal; a deal we couldn't afford. And for the past few days they have been talking about all the good things in the deal. But there's a lot in this bill that they aren't telling us about this bill.

I heard Senator Corker talk today on the morning TV shows. He wants to extend the debt limit by 1 trillion dollars by cutting Medicare and Social Security by 1 trillion dollars. Another Republican is advocating shutting down the government over the debt limit. And POTUS Obama just signed a 633 BILLION Dollar Defense Bill.

Today, I'm exhausted from the holidays and all this fiasco called fiscal cliff. So I'm going to make this short and sweet. Although I was an advocate for going over the fiscal cliff, I have to give the Dems their due thanks and congratulations.

When I was a child, I was taught not to run out into the street because I could get hit by a car or truck. Twenty years later, I taught my son not to run out into the street because he could get hit by a car or truck. So what I need to know is when did it become ok to walk out in front of a moving vehicle? If I’m not mistaken pedestrians do not have the right away unless they are crossing at a crosswalk with the light. But for some reason, all kinds of people believe that it is ok to walk in front of a moving vehicle. They look at you like they are daring you to hit them.
