Hypocrisy??

Espionage is inherently hypocritical.

You get mad when you catch them (although you do expect them to be spying/interfering), and you try to cover up whenever you do the same thing they did.

 

Not quite true. Obama punished Russia for hacking our election in favor of Trump. Both the CIA and FBI agreed on this. Of course Trump thinks that he knows more about intelligence than these experts. If you think it was a problem sending emails over a private server (which Bush's administration did on the order of millions of emails) why isn't it worse for Trump to "tweep" openly to the world against American policy and in favor of our enemies? I shudder to think what he will do as President. I hope the Democrats try to block everything he does just as the Republicans did against Obama.

 

It's a given. You can depend on it. That's their history.

 

No, it's what the Republicans vowed to do at the beginning of the Obama Presidency and that's exactly what they've done. That's why nothing has gotten done in Washington and why the last several Congresses have been rated as the worst in history. The Republicans had NO IDEAS of their own and America has just kept going down like a boat without a rudder. GOP leadership has said that they want to repeal Obamacare and replace it "sometime in the future." Quick, what is their plan to do that?

 

So if a party has the power to pass proven horrible ideas into law and the other party has NO IDEAS at all, should we allow the proven horrible ideas to become law or try to block them? Well, it happened with Obama Care because at that time the Republicans could not stop it and the Democrats would not even listen to any ideas the Republicans had on the subject, they told them to "sit in the back and shut up, you lost".

Can you name one good idea the democrats had in the past eight years that they could not get passed because the republicans would not support it?

 

That's right! The democrats had no idea what was in the bill, they were just ECSTATIC at the chance to take another piece of control away from the people and expand the government.

They keep saying 20 million more Americans have health care now. And how many of those are paying for it themselves and not the tax payers? And how many of them can actually get to use the insurance by making it past their deductible? The insurance is junk.....

 

Yes Health Insurance is Junk. My husband and I figured out that with between the premiums that we pay every months and the high deductible we have on me, we would have to spend over half of his take home pay in a year before insurance would even pay a dime. So when I go to the Dr. we just pay cash for me because that is the cheapest option as most Dr. office offers between a 20-30% discount for cash payers in our experience. Until health insurance is treated like any other kind of insurance it will be a mess for everyone involved.
