GorT promised that he’ll continue to beat this drum and it’s worth pointing out again now:

Where is our Federal Budget?  Why don’t we have one?  Where are all the negotiations that Obama and the democrats promised?

The whole PP-ACA (a/k/a Obamacare) thing is a complete mess and the public is onto it.  It was handled poorly.  It’s a political and marketing nightmare for the Obama administration and Democrats in general.  It’s likely to cost them some seats next year.  So we should all just sit back and watch it collapse under its own weight, right?

Queue up your best John McLaughlin voice here and scream, “Wrong!”

The Republicans need to be pressuring their fellow representatives and senators across the aisle over the negotiations that were promised as part of the reopening of federal government.  It should be publicly displayed in all forms: TV, newspapers, social media, etc.  Come up with a solid list of items that need to be negotiated and present them.  Here’s a hint: it should include adhering to the Constitutionally mandated federal budget process culminating in a federal budget enacted by next summer.  Call them to the mat over all aspects of funding PP-ACA as part of it including the medical device tax, exemptions for unions, various federal employees, etc.

Anyone tuning into the news this week wouldn’t know that we had a federal government shutdown or showdown.  I’m all in favor of pointing out the debacle that the Obama administration has created over the passage and implementation of PP-ACA, but there’s more here. 

Battle speed….thump….thump…..thump.

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
