Now were I would have more time to spend with the Senator, I would have pointed out that his filibuster(AKA TheShutdown) was avoided if the Obama Admin had agreed to certain compromises. We'll start with one..... delay the corporate mandate by one year. Denied.
And then, by wave of the magic wand.......post filibuster......that was done.There were others....the same outcome.
What a ********** deal that piece of legislation turned out....PPACA. And that was what our Executive Branch decided to shut down our open air parks, like to our Veterans, as an issue. Can't think of anything worse.....got anything? Sad, sad stuff.
Prolly would have got a bus ride to Redneck Country Club with that conversation......never had a a shot though.
