It wouldn't help with the big issues for debate, but it would help in passing all the small bills that nobody ever really argues with... Unless things are at a state where even the smallest and clearest of issues is up for debate purely out of spite... In that case you have issues.

Eeyup. That's where things are.

I'm going to go on record as saying that probably wouldn't help at all.Congress actually has a system for working out details of things most congressmen don't care about, the committees.They had out the details of most books, and then they go for a vote.There is also procedure for handling likely unanimous legislation,where you must register a complaint yourself to force a vote.

Besides,most things they pass now are unanimous anyway,given only uncontroversial things can pass now anyway.

The GOP is now seriously considering trying to impeach the Prez. And, immigration reform might be back from the dead.

Chris Christie is flip-flopping in preparation for the primaries.

Rick Santorum makes a surprise appearance to commemorate Nelson Mandela's legacy...by comparing Obamacare to apartheid.

I remind you, ladies and gentlemen, that this man was almost the 2012 GOP presidential nominee...

[MetalSlimeHunt]

And with any luck, he'll be the 2016 GOP presidential nominee.

Good thing here at Bay12 we can host our very own GOP primary straw poll.

I vote for that lump of coral. He's a colorful character. Bit stiff though.

Very interesting article on the cost distribution of americas healthcare system: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/12/07/republicans-have-medicaids-cost-problem-completely-wrong/

Look at the data here and consider, what if even under a pie and the sky idealized version of free markets we could cut what a typical person is spending on healthcare in costs through calvanist personal responsibility and giving up all those annoying vacinations?  That would only mean cutting costs by about $300 dollars per capita, a pittance compared to the more then $8000 we are spending.  It's all about a select few very high cost patients that we really don't talk about politically.  The democrats dont really talk about this group either but the ACA did actually have a fair number of less talked about provisions like Affordable Care Organizations that are targeted at finding new care models for these people.

Eh, good luck. Sounds to me like a combination of stupidity and/or "please don't primary me!". I also don't have high hopes for immigration by this Congress, but who knows?

Well, to be fair, Obamacare is keeping insurers "apart" from the money they'd otherwise have right now .

All of my laughter! All of it!
So I can watch a blond Benny Cucumber right now? Well that is good to know...

Everything I know about the Gulf Southerners has been shattered against the rocks of Nate Silver's cold, hard science witchery.
