This clown has no understanding of what has happened over the past 5 years. The GOP was excluded from the legislative process. Those few who wanted to have a say in the law, at some level, were denied. This was a Democrat/Socialist bill by design. So why do the Left Wing meat heads chose now to complain because the GOP is acting out their exclusionary role, a role, again, forced upon them.

Surprised? Not me. And if the Dems think the shutdown will be an election issue, well, they are just not paying any attention. I won't try to "half sole" Kobut's article, but we are quietly winning the political war. Obama's has only passed two significant pieces of legislation in five years and one of them you have never hear of, in all likely hood. The other is ObamaCare and I like the fact that this will be Obama's legacy.

Turns out the source for the 60 minute report has given conflicting testimony and is not reliable as a source into the Benghazi killings. Maybe if this reporter had talked to any of the 36 Benghazi survivors or compared the conflicting testimonies of nearly everyone representing the Obama administration, she would have come up with a story for which an apology would not have been necessary.

I blame the Establishment GOP. They spent 9 million of the gubernatorial race four years ago and Bob McConnell won that race. With Cuccinelli, they spent between one and three million (who knows for certain) and refused to storm the gates for this teaparty candidate. The fact is, Cuccinelli closed a 12 point gap while the GOP sat on his proverbial and did as little as possible.
