"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."

According to Obama himself, Bush was irresponsible with his spending, yet Obama has spent twice as much as Bush in half the time. 'Splain them apples to me.

Facts don't matter to these people.
It's quite a simple formula--dirt simple, really, for easy consumption by the uneducated--all things GOP = good. All the worlds problems are because of libruls.
Unless the GOP does it, then the complete 180 happens.
You say this most clearly with the individual mandate, which every Republican was for during the Clinton era but now they all magically oppose it when Obama actually uses it.
They're the Walking Dead of politics.

The only thing done so far is a 90 day band aid. Let's see where we're at in 6 months. Both Dem's and Rep's need to get over each other and do their job, or get out.
