How can we blame the GOP for any of this?

Very simple:

They’re motivated by partisanism, not good faith. Their disdain of the current Administration is clearly documented as fact, your posts and the posts of other rightists are proof of that – that you even question the justification for the GOP being blamed is proof of the blind partisanism manifested by the right.

With regard to the ACA, conservative opposition to the Act is also purely partisan, not based on the merits of the Act. The GOP is fully blamed for the shutdown because whether the ACA is funded or not, or whether certain provisions are delayed or not, has nothing whatsoever to do with funding the government and paying the government’s bills.

And if republicans were truly concerned about perceived problems with the ACA, they’d either participate in addressing those problems to make the Act more efficient or propose their own plan to ensure Americans have access to health insurance and healthcare. Instead, the GOP does neither, content with allowing millions of Americans to continue to needlessly suffer absent access to affordable healthcare – again, for purely partisan reasons.

The American people know this, and blame the GOP accordingly and correctly.

Legislation, including things like the CR bill, require approval by both houses of the legislative branch and the executive branch of the federal government.

The GOP has the House of Representatives, they use that to obstruct any CR bill unless they get their way with ACA.

 

[Seawytch]

This is how they get the blame...

Because according to the Obama knob slobberers, the Tea Party/GOP only represent a tiny minority, yet somehow managed to win the majority of the House (again).

This segment of the population must be ignored and the progressive agenda advanced, even if half the country opposes it.

The knob slobberers resort to quoting polls, since they can't acknowledge Republicans hold over half the House and nearly half of the Senate. They just think "Obama won!" so that means King Hussein should be able to rule unchecked.

Unfortunately for the Obama knob slobberers, there is a system of checks and balances built into the Constitution. The Dems who past ACA knew the public would oppose it (they lost the election immediately after), but did it anyway knowing the American people would oppose it (enter the GOP/Tea Party). They can't admit they fucked up when they passed it without any input from Americans, now they are demanding we borrow another trillion dollars to fund it no questions asked.

I coudld not agree more with you
the path the hard left took from "we have lost the war: comment
Blaming the GOp when they have 33% of the power is another problem, and had none sense 2008
there trying to address the problems with ACA
you start at the outer limit of what you want an go from there
the Dems had 5 days to respond
they went home

It would benefit you to take a course in Civics; your premise that the GOP has no power is not only wrong but ridiculous. In fact Boehner has absolute power as is evident to anyone who has taken and passed the above noted course to end the current fiasco.

This would be true if you ignore that the senate could pass the house bill and Obama could sign it ending the (so-called) shutdown.

The GOP won the House because of gerrymandered districts. Democratic candidates received more votes countrywide than Republican candidates in 2012 House races. So again, a minority is holding the country hostage.

Lesson shall begin now
the reason we have the house of rep is that NY city
LA
Austin Texas
South Florida (about 7% of the state by land mass voted for BHO in 2010)
The voting masses have say
our fore fathers knew that one city in an entire state could cancle out the rest as the case in BHO being elected (see Florida, Penn, Virgina)
this is why it is called the house of rep

Now explain to me this gerry mandering?
how didthis start?
you want to explain to us how this changed over 60 seats in 2010 when the GOP had no power?
when did this big event take place

LOL, gerrymandering. Right, only Repubs do that, Dems don't do it in areas they control.

Dems got more of the popular vote because of the urban areas where blacks voted (D)-bag in the 95% range.

Dude, you have been educated on this topic so many times. Don't you worry about your cognitive (look it up) abilities? I do. You seem dumber than a box of Teabaggers.

But I am sure some of the good natured folks on here will educate you again. And you will ignore what they are trying to tell you and you will post up another ignorant thread about how can the majority party in the House of Reps can shut down the government. And be blamed for it. Good God,

Take a civics class already.

The House passed a bill. The senate didn't and Obama threatened a veto even if the senate did. So who actually shut down government?

Dumb ass, people vote, not land. This nation is an urban, cosmopolitan nation, not the agrarian one that it it was in 1800. And we elected President Obama by the majority of voters. Don't like that? Leave.

How are bills usually passed? Via conference committee & compromise. The process has been sullied by radical Republicans who can't seem to understand a capitulation to their demand that the President delay a law by the President sets a dangerous precedent.
