    I know what your side wants... an opposition party that isn't really an opposition party.

    Unlike many, I have no problem with principled opposition, and am fully prepared for it and embrace it. You guys have never given up, and its foolish to expect you to and I fully support your right to fight the good fight.

    Go for it. I am!

    Everything McClintock says is also true of the republican party as well. The divisiveness is absolute, there is very rarely any working together... ever.

    Nope ,the House has done it's job... they have passed many budgets that lie in dust on Harry Reid's shelves . It is the intentional strategy of the Dems to not put their budgets up for votes that has led to the CR and debt crisis . But that was their plan... They have effectively usurped the power of the purse from the House of Reps .

    Nobody expects you to stop squealing repeal. But don't expect a captive audience. I think the hostages are escaping, stay tuned though.

    It's not about hollering and squealing, it's about manipulating the news cycle.
