The Two Faces Of US Rep. Reid Ribble, R-WI

Or make it three. Or four

Two wrongs don't make a right, Ribble says, then turns it into a trifecta, perhaps four-of-a-kind by opposing ObamaCare, opposing a government shutdown over ObamaCare, voting with his caucus to defund ObamaCare provoking the government shutdown and issuing a statement condemning the government shutdown.

It's harmful and embarrassing that the federal government has reached a point of shutting down operations.  This is not a moment to be proud of or to celebrate.  
I've stated from the beginning of this process that while I vigorously oppose Obamacare and believe it is poor health care policy, I do not believe shutting down the government is the correct strategy to address this flawed law.  Two wrongs don't make a right.

As hundreds of Federal workers are being laid-off across the state, I'm waiting for Governor Walker to denounce the Tea Party for it's shutdown of the government. Job growth is job number one, right Guv?

We've been hearing people say things about the ACA like it's a poor health care policy, it will ruin the economy. However, they never ever really explain why they think it is a poor health care policy or why they think it will ruin the economy. When will they ever explain themselves. I mean, people who are for it have no problem explaining in detail why they are for it, so why can't the people who are against it explain in detail why they are against it.
