He must be lying because everyone knows the Democrats are the party of the poor, of workers, and the disenfranchised, and the Republicans are the party of the rich and powerful. So how could a democrat possibility own a yacht? Why, a guy with a yacht could never understand the problems of the poor or the working class. Must have been a republican owned yacht.

There are no democrats or republicans. There are only political elites and we commoners.

They are supposed to work FOR the PEOPLE, because they are PAID BY the PEOPLE!! I am sick and tired of a government who thinks that they know better than me of how to protect, raise and support my family!! I am supposed to pay taxes to support the military, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, schools, roads and a decent deserving government! My tax dollars should NOT be spent for government leaders to take vacations during a "Critical" or "Crucial" time, when that time could be spent trying to come up with a SMART and BALANCED budget!! I am sick and tired of supporting people who don't want to work for a living or provide for their families, but who are willing to sit on their butt and let me support them!! But, what can you do? This government is going to do exactly what they want, when they want.

GOP Senator Mark Kirk Says Booze And Parties On Dem-Owned Yacht Led To Bipartisan Gun Deal…

Of course I didn't see Obamacare being upheld as constitutional so what do I know.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) signaled Thursday that he may continue to bypass a House Republican rule [i.e. the "Hastert Rule"] that has required any legislation being voted upon to have the support of a majority of the GOP conference…

He said at a news conference Thursday that he will continue to try and follow it in spirit, but also suggested he might well violate it for upcoming votes on guns, immigration and the budget.

“Listen: It was never a rule to begin with,” Boehner said. “And certainly my prerogative – my intention is to always pass bills with strong Republican support.”

I disagree. The vote that counts is the vote that makes it law.
