Simply put, the House Republicans have become economic terrorists.
And people like wrangor think it's just fine to play potentially deadly games with the nation's economy like this in an effort to score future political points. Nevermind that since ACA passed the Congress and was signed into law we have had a presidential election where the Republicans made it clear the election was a referendum on ACA....and lost handily...and that the Supreme Court of the United States has reaffirmed the constitutionality of the law.
So long as we're clear the 'economic terrorists' are playing by the rules. And the 'terrorists' would likely counter your assertions by stating they believe ACA is an even deadlier game to play with our economy... so from their perspective, they're taking one for the team by exposing themselves to the name-calling and accusations the average ill-informed citizen is pouring on them.

Damn. It's just like Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Beatrix opens his mouth and Wrangor's words come out.
And ACA is not a "game", it's now a law. Do you believe the Republicans can just ignore laws that they don't like....or use procedure to shut down the government if everyone else will not accede to their demands? Evidently so.
The deal is they already had time to tweak it WHEN THEY NEGOTIATED THE BILL BEFORE IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW. That's when you tweak it. That's the way the system works. You don't tweak the law before it's ever implemented. How would you even know what to tweak? The process is quite simple: the bill is passed, it's signed into law, it's implemented. That's the way it works. That's the way it has always worked and now suddenly after 200+ years of governance the Tea Partiers have decided that they don't like this system. What the fuck is wrong with them?
Robert... that might be the hardest you've ever hit me... I thought we were friends... Don't get me wrong, I agree with much of what Wrangor says, but (shockingly enough for a short bus kid) I come up with stuff on my own sometimes. To your question, I don't perceive these guys as ignoring the law, rather I perceive them as asking for some tweaks and delays. Pretty much everyone agrees tweaks are needed. What's the big fucking deal?
