Congratulations Chris on your new baby. Everyone is happy for you.

This so called debate was a shouting match to GAIN CONTROL with the woman shouting louder than Chris. This loud mouth is being considered a victory by the Right Wing extremists. That is type. The GOP isn't about policy, it is about politics.

The political rhetoric enforced by this woman is then bought into by the pundits, passed to the electorate as 'the path to victory.' The political dialogue of the GOP is so dysfunctional it has no basis in policy. Then their electorate wonders why the government doesn't work for them. It has no basis in governing. 

How many pinocchios did she get on this thing?  

Republicans are very combative in their language and demeanor. Not a civilized bone in their body. This is victory by volume alone, I would think this is a learning experience to prevent this mess.

...But in Connecticut, (click here) a smoothly functioning website, run by competent managers, has successfully enrolled so many patients that officials are offering to sell their expertise to states like Maryland, which is struggling to sign people up for coverage.

The disparities reveal a stark truth about the Affordable Care Act: With the first open enrollment period set to end Monday, six months after its troubled online exchanges opened for business, the program widely known as Obamacare looks less like a sweeping federal overhaul than a collection of individual ventures playing out unevenly, state to state, in the laboratories of democracy.

The White House said on Thursday that more than six million people have signed up for private plans, a significant political milestone for the Obama administration. Independent analysts estimate that an additional 3.5 million Americans are newly insured under Medicaid — figures the law’s backers hail as a success....

The enrollment numbers are a real victory for the Democrats, especially when considering the obstruction TACTICS of the Republicans in the federal and state governments.

The only method of oppressing the citizen this time by the GOP was to, excuse the analogy, cut off the new laws legs and then telling it to walk. So, the idea any outreach to EMPOWER the citizens was going to work was a dreamscape given the rhetoric AND actions by the Republicans. But, it has proven to be far more than a dreamscape. The goals are being met. The federal internet site was never suppose to be relied on so heavily. They did it against impossible odds.

Well done. 

Oh, yes, the word was 'oppress the citizens.' Just look across the spectrum of the American public and tell me the GOP dogma actually results in policy that works. Where? Housing? It was used as a wealth tool for Wall Street and their bailouts and quantitative easing. Food security? It wasn't until the Obama Administration did the FDA finally have their teeth back and then to address hunger they cut food stamps and school lunch programs. Where in the GOP rhetoric is there actually policy and governing? Not. Destroy government and seek to destroy public infrastructure so occasional million/billionaires can 'make a buck.' Dear God, we had bridges collapsing because of cuts in government spending for decades.  

My comments about 'the woman' is sexist? Not from what I am hearing from Republicans, it fits right in. She must like it. I just thought she should feel at home.
