The Bottom Line: teabaggers/repugs own this whole mess

Remember... Obamacare has nothing, absolutely NOTHING, to do with funding the government. This whole thing is teabagger bullshit from start to finish. Teabaggers are being good little tools, doing every vile and nasty thing they can, no matter who it hurts, to save their corporate masters a few more bucks.

Again... None of this has a single thing to do with funding the government.

They always go AWOL when it comes time to accept responsibility.

AWOL is a core Republicon "value" as they have demonstrated repeatedly over the years.

talking points in full force. republicans are being given more time than Democrats by our illustrious media

Since the ACA passed, the press has allowed unchallenged misrepresentations and lies from the republicans about it.

This was exposed recently when chuck todd inadvertently said it wasn't the job of the media to correct inaccuracies about the ACA. Of course it is their job, but they haven't been doing their job for decades.

They are now saying all the polls indicate people are against the ACA. Really?

Are these the same polls that said Romney was going to win, and the Democrats lose the Senate in 2012?

Is this the same press that predicted the fed would stop their easing?

Is this the same press that indicated the odds were very high we would bomb Syria. The same press that indicated the odds were high we could not negotiate with Iran.

A flip of the coin has better odds of being correct than these so-called analysts.

In spite of these false prophets, the fact is 75% of the people will benefit from the ACA, and the media will show what fools they are again
