7. Kind of a combination of lots of stuff.

But the lead story was about how the republicans held another "Do what we have to do to make this guy fail" meeting. We all knew it happened on his first day as President, but this was this past January on his 2nd inauguration day. Ed Meese ran it, and they all basically put it in writing in a letter. Basically stated they would shut down the government by any means necessary. Funded of course by the Koch Brothers.

She also just did a count on how many votes a clean Continuing Resolution on raising the debt ceiling and fully funding the government would get in the House, and it comes to the necessary 217 votes...and that's just with the Republicans who've come out and said they'd vote for a clean CR. John Boehner keeps insisting he doesn't have the votes...she just slam dunked him.

Add the fact that people are flocking to the Obamacare sites, and they're looking worse and worse all the time.

Nothing illegal or anything (except, of course, TREASON), but scummy, slimy, and just wrong on every level. In light of what they've been trying to sell, including the shut down was Obama's idea, even the most hard core Republican has GOT to start questioning what these guys are saying.
