GOP Will Take Over The Government To Shut Down Obamacare

They have the country by the throat now and are ready to strangle the life out of our democracy. This plan has been THE PLAN since Reagan really. Their policy is psychological violence, threats and intimidation. I bet anyone who tries to challenge one of these goons gets a billie club to the head.

I just don't think most Americans realize how dangerous the GOP is now. I think the government itself is now at risk.

... what's needed is to start a functional democracy again; multiple signing statements doing the right thing and make them sue the president explaining to everyone how the GOP is screwing up everything

It's not perfect, it caters to for profit companies, but it is better then what it was. Someday we will evolve and have single payer healthcare instead of for profit health insurance.

It will be apparent very soon. The Commander in Chief is where the buck stops. Goons, self deluded militia, secessionist, religious fanatics, beware you are outnumbered.

Those are the tactics that brought the pigs into office, and the righties keep their useful idiots scared and paranoid with them.

Racism, twisted theology, end-of-time-- all pushed by moneyed assholes profiting off this subset, willing to be sold to -- make up most of the contributions to rW assholes willing to sacrifice their life savings to stop the "libruls" and "socialists" from "taking over."

The fact is, these idiots are giving their money to scammers, not the least of which is all the "religious" groups so willing to take their money and leave them high and dry.

It's kind of an ancient scam, yet it still works.

They have Cruz lined up. They have their Oath Keepers lined up. They have their teabagger minions armed to the teeth. They intend to wipe us out.

I am terrified.

They own DOJ. Their Mormon lackeys run FBI. I think Holder is their man. That's why nobody touches domestic terrorists.

President and the GOP, the fight is between the GOP and tea baggers. When that is resolved, many believe that government can proceed even with opposing views.
