I Call BullShit Mr. Cornyn!

In the weekly Republican radio address, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Tex., said that “it has become disturbingly clear that the Obama-Reid shutdown is no longer about health care, or spending, or ideology. It’s about politics, plain and simple.”

You also said that the opposition refuses to negotiate. Well I wanna walk that back a bit and remind you that your party has held over 40 votes to repeal the
Affordable Care Act. Not only that but your party has shut down the United States government because you want to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Well, this time you just wanted to de-fund the ACA which amounts to the same thing. I find it absolutely fantastic that the party of fiscal responsibility likes to buy stuff and then not pay for the stuff.

Picking up your bat and ball and going home when you can’t get your way isn’t governing and just like your unprovable ideology your current strategy doesn’t work. More and more people are going to start speaking out, talking to their neighbors and I hope strangers in the street and you should fear this because once american citizens start looking at both sides of the issue at hand, your fear tactics will stop working.

About Art

55 years old. By training, ability and experience I am a master toolmaker. My most recent projects include designing and building a process to grind a G rotor pump shaft with four diameters and holding all four diameters within plus or minus 4 microns of nominal. This was an automated process using two centerless grinders refitted to my specifications using automatic load and unload machines plus automatic feedback gauging. I also designed and built an inspection machine to check for the presence and size of a straight knurl on a hinge pin using a vision system for non-contact gauging.
