Regarding yesterday’s House vote on the Violence Against Women Act: it’s clear the GOP isn’t the stupid party — they’re the evil party, part two. The progressives of the left AND right have finally joined forces against the rest of us.

If it’s not time to start a new party which represents OUR interests, then when will it be? How much more of this are we and our conservative representatives expected to take?

What’s funny is that Google (30,000 employees) and Apple (10,000 employees) have enough cash on hand to easily cover the sequester shortfall, but the federal government is so inefficient that they will have to FUNlough even more than 40,000 to make their point that nobody shrinks the federal government.
Obama governance on display.
