No, Congress got the blame because it was a Republican Congress. Same thing will happen now because we have moonbat media.

Read a post last night (can’t remember who) who said she(?) was a gov’t contractor during the last shut down. Government employees were sent home (without pay) but other than that it was business as usual. Oh, and when they employees came back their pay was retroactive. So they had a two week vacation compliments of the taxpayers.

"SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!" should be the new mantra for the TEA Parties .... :)

REFUSE. RESIST. Do NOT Submit.
★ FREEDOM! ★

My memory is that ws when Bill and Monica hooked up...over pizza, IIRC.

[Twinkie]

Shut ‘er down. Order pizza, put your feet up, boys; and shut ‘er down! We might figure out that we don’t need near as much of gubmint as once was thought.

The only thing good that came of the Clinton shut down was his impeachment, because it was during the shut down the Clinton was stuffing cigars up interns you know whats.

[Twinkie]

That rancid Clinton! This country is still reeling from his nasty habits! Today I read where a young teen girl was engaging in oral sex and her mother was bragging about it! Only, the girl was a promiscuous laughingstock endangering herself for STD’s and her aunt was agonizing over her silly sister’s daughter! BILL CLINTON’S LEGACY.

“Obama Shuts Down Federal Government”

[altura]

A cane can be a mighty weapon. Trust me.

[TigersEye]

I am with you. Shut it down. Don’t borrow or spend another penny.

[seekthetruth]

You BETCHA! And the Republicans should not give in to BO and make him own the shut down if that is what happens!

I would tell ALL Republicans, NO GIVING IN OR REACHING ACROSS THE ISLE TO Socialist/Progressive/Marxist/DEMS!

[CommieCutter]

Understand the title—look at the images, see the irony.

[tobyhill]

The White House already has the MSM ready to blame the Republicans. The GOP needs to get in front of this one, yelling at the top of their lungs that it will be Obama and Congressional Rat's fault for failing to adhere to the will of the people.

[PieterCasparzen]

They’d better have a shutdown; if they don’t it means they did not get enough cuts.

[kcvl]

Does that mean I can keep the large check that I was getting ready to mail with my tax return since there won’t be anyone to process it?! HOT DOG! /s

[dufekin]

I think revenue collection and general repression are excluded from the shutdown. Naturally, the shutdown doesn’t include mandatory spending, so welfare checks will continue indefinitely.

[2harddrive]

“During the last “government shutdown”, the sitting president got all the blame. Let’s just make sure that happens again.”

No, actually the REPUBLICANS got the blame, when Clinton vetoed the bill the House of Reps had passed to fund the government. This was under Newt Gingrich, in 1995, as I recall. Clinton vetoed the funding bill, but the Republicans were blamed by the state-run media.

[Cheerio]

What is the bad news?

Spineless RINOS quaking in their chairs, some hiding under their desks. Tea Party House members being ignored and voted down by old guard RINO GOP House leadership - anyone recap the votes held today (Wed)?

[navydad]

I’m 200% for a shutdown...
But honestly, I don’t think the current Repub leadership has the balls to play it right.
Thus, I think Zero and his MSM lapdogs will win if there is a shutdown.
Sad... I wish it were otherwise...
