That's because you're an aging, brain-addled twit.
There's nothing worse than some demented old fart who still thinks he
can rationally converse here, then repeatedly demonstrates his failing
mental faculties.

Newt worked ACROSS the table.
Hence the "contract with America".
He was NOT an "obstructionist".
Period.
Conservatives never caused the Flint crisis - it has been solidly in Dem
hands for decades.

How many Flints until we learn our lesson? Flint, Mich., has been
poisoning its residents. The city, in an attempt to save money, planned
to stop buying water from Detroit and sign up with a regional water
system; in the interim, it was getting its municipal water from the
Flint River, which is as much a garbage dump as it is a body of water.
Residents complained that the water smells of chemicals, that it isn’t
the right color, etc. Children’s lead levels are dangerously high, and
an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease may also be linked to city water.
The city knew about this, and did approximately nothing in response
until the problem was well advanced. A word that is curiously scarce in
coverage of this disaster: Democrat. Flint, like big brother Detroit
down the way, has a long history of political dominance by the
Democratic party. Its current mayor is a Democrat; so was her
predecessor; the mayor before him, Don Williamson, was a career criminal
(he did time for various scams some years back) and a Democrat who
resigned under threat of recall; his immediate predecessor, Democrat
James W. Rutherford, is a longtime politico and was elected to finish
out the term of Woodrow Stanley, who was recalled because of the
financial state in which he left the city.
Stanley was in effect replaced by — Democrat — Darnell Earley, former
director of the Democratic legislative caucus’s research-and-policy
team, who became the city’s emergency manager. Earley is the Democrat
the other Democrats blame for changing the city’s water supply, and the
Michigan Democratic party has demanded his termination. The Obama
administration knew about this, too, and had known for a long time,
since February of last year at least — but it chose to keep quiet on the
matter.
A couple of hundred miles away, a federal judge has found that city
lawyers in Chicago — which is effectively under single-party Democratic
rule and long has been — intentionally concealed evidence during a trial
over a police shooting. Chicago’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel — former
right-hand man to Barack Obama — says that it simply is “not possible”
that his administration has been involved in a cover-up of possible
police misconduct. The evidence involved recordings of police radio
communications — the sort of thing that would be relevant in a trial
about the correctness of a police shooting. The city lawyers also
“misled the court” about their evaluation of evidence.

Ripe BULLSHIT!
Your lives are your own affair, how DARE blame them on US?
No US politician does one single thing to alter the quality of life in
Alberta or Ontario.
And your economy is being hollowed out by the fact you're a national
resource play in a day and age of deflation in commodities.
So who do you blame, OPEC?
No, US!
China?
No...US!
FUCK YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL YOU LYING PIECE OF SECOND TIER SHIT!
