Oh No! It is 1995 all over again. The GOP is going to get blamed for the shut down!!!

or so the latest hand wringing line from the Pseudo Conservative pundits in the Junk media goes.

News for the Faux Conservatives, it is not 1995 any more.

Only problem with this Junk media dreamed up scenario of impending GOP doom,

This isn't 1995.

In 1995:

Fox News did not exist.

The Internet was still a cool new toy being used by maybe 10,000 techno geeks

The GOP had only 1 national talk radio show(Rush Limbaugh) on their side.

The Tea party movement did not exist.

The nation wasn't being told by the Dems to swallow a $1.6 TRILLION deficit and a $3.8 trillion Fed budget.

In 1995 the economy was booming, gasoline was cheap and the jobless rate was 5.7% and rapidly falling.

This is not 1995.

So how about the nervous handwringers in the "Conservative" movement either man up or get out of the way?

I always find it funny that they get the blame for the 95 shutdown but not the credit for the balanced budget the few years after that.

I don’t understand WHY they say that the ‘Pubs are gonna get the blame. How? Why? Have we become so stuptified as a nation that no one with a fragment of a functional brain can see that the Dims had the reins all that time and did NOTHING??!!

I honestly do not get all the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth over this.
It ain’t our fault!

(howzit going Johnnie?)

WATCH....
When the bombardment of sob stories comes out, blaming the REPUBLICANS for the “Suffering” of these poor, lowly gub’ment employees hits the airwaves, and you get bombarded with poll after poll telling you that “People” blame the Republicans for this, get back to me.

Reality and facts no longer matter, control of the mass media does. Were you asleep during Obama’s election?

I've been making this point, too. One small silver lining is that the commie Left's total and utter control of mass media does not exist to the extent it used to.

“the commie Left’s total and utter control of mass media does not exist to the extent it used to.”

Don’t kid yourself about that, either.

And remember this when the Headlines pop up on facebook, that almost no one reads past, and E! Entertainment is running sob stories nightly.

Just too prove my point, CNN is running “Gub’ment closing!” sob stories already, about poor people’s Yellowstone vacations being cancelled, and how much money they are losing because of it.
RIGHT NOW....
