Kathleen Sebelius was put in a politically impossible position. There was zero possibility of the technology supporting the ACA ever working as originally specced. She should have recognized this instantly, but even if she did, what could she have done?


I'm sure she's in a financial position where she didn't have to have the income, and if she had any integrity, she would walk. Further, when questioned by the press, she wouldn't give the 'spend more time with my family' canned response, she would be truthful.

She wasn't placed in a position. She sought out the position. As do all politicians.

Please elaborate on every Presidential election you've voted in and who you voted for. I'll go first -- primary vote in parens.

1996: (Phil Gramm) Bob Dole
2000: (George W. Bush) George W. Bush
2004: (didn't vote, as I signed a petition to try and get Nader on the ballot as a giant "Fuck You" to Democrats) George W. Bush
2008: (Fred Thompson) John McCain
2012: (Rick Perry) Mitt Romney

Your turn.

Actually -- had we had state legislature electing senators, our former Solicitor General, Ted Cruz, still would have beaten the ever more unpopular David Dewhurst.

Other Senators that likely wouldn't have been elected include the RINO Kay Bailout Hutchinson. Cornyn probably still would have won, even if I preferred Stockman this time around.
