With Friends Like These...

3/25/2017

Americans strongly disapprove of Obamacare. Republicans in Congress are unanimously against it. Yet, for the moment, efforts to replace it are dead. The fault clearly belongs to a group of far right politicians.

For the bill to get through the House, the moderate Republicans must go along. Over twenty of them come from districts that Hillary Clinton won. The key to keeping Republicans in the majority is being able to hang on to those seats.

Some conservatives seem not to care what happens to Obamacare. They demanded changes to the bill. One of the leaders of this group said they had made six demands and four and a half were met. Yet they still wanted more. President Trump and Speaker Ryan eventually gave them so much that the moderates pulled out.

I really don’t understand their thinking. It seems that all that matters to them is to remain ideologically pure. What happens to the country or the party is irrelevant. The Constitution they claim to love only came about because of compromise.
​

Democrats, I suggest you stop belittling the Tea Party types. They are the best friends you’ve got.

Other charts are usually made of tables, which are less easy to read and can be hard to understand if you’re new to astrology.

Most astrology sites, including Astro.com, have this option. If your astrology site doesn’t, feel free to skip this step.

At long last this idiotic shutdown is over. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and it doesn’t start up again.

The real story is that 800,000 government workers are back on the job and many millions of people are no longer inconvenienced.

Unfortunately, that is not the story we are hearing in the media. Their story is about how Speaker Pelosi beat President Trump. He got himself into this mess. She decided that all that mattered was winning. The harm done to the people involved was of no concern whatsoever. A good leader puts the good of the people over political gamesmanship,

it would be nice to think that both people have learned their lesson and will try to do what is best for the
country. I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
