We surely don't want this bunch of losers back. The first thing on Republicans' list of things to do would be to go to war with Iran, and they'll say it's all part of "job creaton".

    No the first thing will be to repeal Obamacare. But the Supreme Court will take care of that before hand. So next will be to cut the bloated spending in DC.

    I totally agree with American Girl on her opinion, and i do not know why some people who call them self republicans,the only thing they do is repeat what they hear from the right wing media an politicians, like repeal Obama Care, without really have the minimum idea as a regular middle class or less people of what they are talking about,because the politicians hate PRESIDENT OBAMA for his color and because they are part of the rich people of this country and he want to make them pay taxes as everybody else.

    But people like us the only thing we can get from his health care plan are benefits,so i recommend to investigate what is all about before open our mouths and say something for ourselves and do not become a echo of somebody else.
