They have a point. When a politician gives his constituents a pink slip, they will be certain to return the favor in the next election.

Carper is sooo full of it. Work together like we do in Delaware??? The Democrats control all three branches here and don’t pay any attention at all to the Republican minority. They are as bad or worse than the clowns in Washington DC.

If you think about it that makes sense. Both sides are disowning it blaming the other because spending cuts are unpopular.

Last year Republicans spent the year talking about how terrible it will be.

So the storyline is “They just cant get their act together and work together”

Simple solution : we need to blame Obama.

“They have not worked together in Washington. And so the across-the-board cuts of the so-called “sequester” - which both Republicans and Democrats have said they oppose - took effect Friday night after President Barack Obama and Republican leaders failed to agree on a way to replace them with targeted spending reductions.”

Here we go. Rats now jumping on the bandwagon that they were for the cuts.

What’s going to happen is nothing. Then the Demorats will take credit for it.

Yep. And I can imagine the screaming if it’s not done.

Let’s fight the bastards.

the sky is falling the sky is falling......let them all go home with no pay and just shut the government down. As far as I can tell they do us no good what so ever. Bring all the military home and place them shoulder to shoulder along our southern border and tell them shoot to kill. I am sick of all of it

Aprt of the 0bama pln. Poison the well, blame the R’s. My way or the highway..and this is the first time he didn’t get his way. So he goes crying and wining to the low info voters, assisted by the lapdog press core. lather rinse repeat.

Impeach this absolute horror of an elected individual. Barring that, make it so uncomfortable for him that he resigns. I could see it happening. The man doesn’t want to work anyway, just party and campaign. Nothing more.

Not exactly, but they will take credit for the deficit reduction and blame Republicans for any pain caused by ‘the cuts’.

Republicans would do the same thing if they could get away with it.
