Re: Cruz and McConnell
A government that taxes us dry and does absolutely nothing is "not a bad thing"?
If they are gridlocked, and can't make matters worse, that is not a bad thing.

Re: Cruz and McConnell
And if all they can do is nothing or worse, when what are we paying them for?
The government doing nothing is better than them being very active.

Re: Cruz and McConnell
Coyote is advocating for a failed state.
Bullshit.
Go back and read what I actually said and try again.

Re: Cruz and McConnell
That's exactly what you want.
More bullshit.
You want a government that makes no decisions. You want a government that provides no public assistance.
Still more bullshit.
That's two out of four of the criteria: failed state (from Wikipedia). And once you have those two, the other follow right in line.
You really should try to read what others write rather than automatically demonizing anyone who you think disagrees with you.
