See, if we had just let SOPA get enacted, then they would have an easy route to shut Gingrich down, now we'll actually have to use our votes to do it. Damnit, i didn't want to have to work for this country to run!

Do you really think both houses have the 66% plurality to override the President?!
Obama could end it now just by saying, affirmatively, that he’d veto it.
That works great unless republicans win the next election, then they can do whatever they want. It's best to squash this idea altogether now and get it through their heads that we dont want this. not now, not ever. If the president just veto's it and it's over, then they will just play it down as politics and keep it on a backburner.

providing the social, housing, and financial support to ensure that every body can call somewhere home.
conservatives call any government social programs "nazi"-esque and we take turns electing them into office (see 2012 presidential election for reference)

Lets see, i'm a fire alarm technician where we have about 40 buildings networked together.
We wanted to upgrade our network and the easiest way to do it would be to set up our own wireless mesh network. Our IT department said "no, wireless networks are our business and you cant set up your own" even though ours would operate on the emergency channels and have nothing to do with them. They whined to management and now we cant set up our stuff.
So they said "hey, use our network (internet)" ok, so we gave that a try. One big problem, when the building loses power, it loses it's internet, and we cant have our panels not monitored. so now we are stuck using phone lines with internet as a backup.
And half the time they cant even do a simple thing like provide a jack with a set IP address for us. They even tried to take away admin controls on OUR computers that aren't even hooked up to their network
if they had just stayed out of it, we would have a very nice and reliable system set up. But i dont hate them, i'm just taking note of all their failures so next time they say "let us do it" i can show how bad of an idea that really is.
