I am worried about the supreme court over turning Obama care.

I think we are in a tough place with the pubs controlling congress and the supreme court. I am sure they intend to use their new found power to wage war on dems, middle class and poor and help the rich get richer and more powerful.

Both Boehner and McConnell have threatened Obama trying to scare him. It was a veiled threat that if he does immigration reform by executive action they will come after him.

You asked about Alaska. We have a disaster up here of our (dems) own making. Two years ago a bunch of leading dems threw the dem senate candidate (Scott Macadams - a friend of mine) under the bus for Lisa Murkoski (back door story, some were hoping to get something from her while others made a bad decision worrying about Joe Miller). I told them even if Joe won we could get rid of him in the next election while we will never get rid of Lisa and she votes as bad as Joe would have i.e. in goose step with the pubs.

So Lisa was elected and then this year she pounded on Begich and was probably solely responsible for the defeat of Mark Begich who is a great senator.

So where we might have had two dem senators next year, we now have none. And the new guy Dan Sullivan is every bit as bad as Joe Miller ever was.

I was and am really mad at my dem friends who threw the dem Scott Macadams under the bus in 2012 and remind them regularly what a terrible decision that was.

After you're broke with $17Trillion in debt, the compassion kind of runs out doesn't it? Or maybe not, add up all the baby boomers retiring and not working looking to have that all expense paid retirement with clueless Millenials addicted to their cell phones and weed expected to pay for how many millions of people. What a friggin joke. That's why the borders are open in a desperate attempt to attract suckers to keep the Ponzi scheme of social security alive. But that's really not intelligent because all you get are the bottom of society in the bottom of societies in the World who aren't going to pay anything in.
