Rebublicans are acting so childish, I am disappointed that we have leaders in this country who vote party affiliation and not for the good and will of the people. This has gone to far. So, what I am hearing is that Republicans are the Party of no, The people will not forget that! Mess with people’s money and you’ve got something on your hands.
