9-11 was everyone's fault...Repubs and Dems all thought America was untouchable until we got hit. I will say that it seems Repubs took that lesson more to heart tan the Dems did.

Now that Republicans won some races and stuff, when will they accept responsibility for the government?

a lot of Republican, Oboiner for example, are doing exactly what Democrats do,, ie big government as usual,,, I'll give them credit for that right now.

as for other fuked up messes, well those races and stuff you mentioned don't even go into effect this year. So you got a year to wait, do you have any clue how a calendar works?

I think it's gonna get real interesting next spring with the SCOTUS decision on Obamacare hanging over Congress's head. Factions on both sides will be trying to get ahead of it to try to avoid chaos-and there will be heavy, heavy lobbying by the insurance industry to get something done. Others will sit on their hands, either hoping for a decision upholding the subsidies, or for a decision throwing them out, depending on their point of view.

I could see a deal between the Democrats and GOP establishment fixing the problematic subsidy language, with repeal of some of the elements the other side considers onerous, leaving the Tea Party wing out in the cold again. Not predicting that happens, but it's a possibility, and would cause a lot of uproar among Cruz, et al.
