The Republicans really screwed up with this shutdown. They are unhappy with Obama Care, which I can understand (doesn't mean I agree). But shutting down the government won't accomplish anything on that front. It does, however, make them look bad. Most Americans do view this the result of sour grapes. It was a severe miscalculation on the Republican part. And if that wasn't bad enough, the shutdown has almost completely drowned out the registration opening up for Obama Care. So they shot themselves in the foot this way too by removing the focus and scrutiny from that while the media is obsessed with the shutdown.


i know, right?..thank you, ted cruz!:mrgreen:

Obamacare is the Atomic bomb to the Republicans. They know people will like it and they are worried that will be reflected in the voting booth.

This is just a repeat of history:

December 2,
1993
- Leading
conservative operative William Kristol privately circulates a strategy
document to Republicans in Congress. Kristol writes that congressional
Republicans should work to "kill" -- not amend -- the Clinton plan because it
presents a real danger to the Republican future: Its passage will give the
Democrats a lock on the crucial middle-class vote and revive the reputation of
the party.

Enrolments show otherwise... :dunce: All an American has to do is jump on the net and google "universal healthcare" and it becomes unescapably obvious the American public has been thrown another shit sandwich...

Just today our Govt announced it was giving free GP visit cards to all under 5's.

That completely by itself proves Obamacare is a shit sandwich.

I bet you line up to catch it right from his ass.
actually, no. the CIA or secret service or whatever security detail is protecting the president collects obama's poop for security reasons.

at least they do when he is overseas, not sure about domestically.

Lets just say im part of that 93% of NASA that got cut.

I'M bored out of my mind right now
No kidding? Want to help me with solving some heat equations?

Launch some bottle rockets and try to plot their trajectories
Would you believe I've been doing that for the last couple weeks?
I've been experimenting with different size bottles and fuels... So far, I've only had success with 1 Liter bottles... But I need to try larger ones. 2 Liter bottles look like they work better, and maybe 1 Gallon milk jugs even more so!!!

Also, Butane doesn't seem to work very well relative to alcohol. I think it may have something to do with saturation... I need to use larger bottles. Then when I start getting successful launches, I can calculate linear drag coefficients and possibly figure out the thermodynamic changes inside the vessel using the ideal gas law as a basis (but I suspect that may be too crude).

If people from NASA don't do that in their spare time, what do they do?
Get Laid? :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can stop with the "we will never see another republican president" clap trap. You sound like Barbara Boxer. As if you have the republican party's needs and interests at heart. I'm not even a republican and can see right through you. FYI: Ted Cruz defeated an establishment republican in the primaries by running as a conservative. Stop making stuff up, and creating fictional arguments.
