Symbols are reality to lots of people. They confuse the map for the territory.
That said, keep pushing. You cannot win if you do not play.
House voted to defund individual mandate.

Americans just want politicians to get to the point.
The GOP platform for 2012 should be framed thus: We’ll cut spending, bring down the deficit, remove barriers to businesses, and cut back on all the regulatory agencies that day after day take away more and more of your liberty. We’ll prevent the EPA from calling your exhalation a pollutant and taxing it; we’ll allow companies to drill for oil so that you don’t have rolling brownouts, or rely on wind power to keep the lights on in your home. We’ll turn education back over to the states, and take it away from Washington and the unions. We’ll bring the America back to America. We’ll set you free.
Yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
Totally stoked. I hate PP.
Damn, Jeff, you are on fire.
Whomever lands the nomination for our side is a fool if they don’t hire you as a speechwriter.

Jeff,
You mean slavery isn’t freedom?
What a novel concept.
I must ponder this epic paradigm shift.

If the cream-cheese frosting hits the floor, I call dibs.
When speaking with my public radio friends, I’ve taken to asking them what their plans are for when the CPB is de-funded. When speaking with my municipal clients, I’ve taken to asking them what their plans are for when State aid goes away. I suppose I’ll have to start asking my govt-employed neighbors what they’ll do when their union is decertified (some of ’em will cheer, I’m sure).
It’s not a matter of if, anymore.
Amanda can chip in to fund that eugenics organization.
Amanda hates babies. And dirty penises.
The House has a hell of a lot of these de-funding votes to get through in the next two years. If I was in Congress, I wouldn’t get bored of it, week after week.
It’s been a very clarifying week.

On to defunding NPR, NEA and all the other “We know what’s best for American culture, peasants” leftwinger slush funds.
There are at least a dozen more agencies that need to be defunded. Start with Dept of Ed, followed by Dept of Energy and the EPA.

All of those administrators that are hired are also there to take care of all of the forms and required filings that each government unit must comply with. They do not get a pass on any of that either, so cutting back the regulatory burden not only helps private businesses, it also helps municipal, state, and federal government by taking the same burdens off of them.
I know – it does seem strange that reducing government helps government – but it actually does.
