    I am amused when leftist twits think that the party of the Jackass doesn't represent incompetence, failure and being flat out wrong. Dunce.

    Can you share with us when Obama "compromised?" On anything?

    The really stupid part ? "The bill" was nowhere near the final draft to be voted into law.
    The Senate had to pass and do a joint conference committee - if the Tea Baggers still opposed it-
    they would be opposing something of substance,not a work in progress.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
