“Organized by two unions” is enough of a story for me, no need to read further.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Isn’t it illegal for these commie piggies to engage in political activities while on government time? Since they are going to get back pay, THEY ARE ON GOVERNMENT TIME RIGHT NOW. Fire the lowlifes!

[mykroar]

Guilty as charged. :-)

“They lost the battle on the field in 1863,” Jackson told the crowd.

Why aren’t the Republicans calling out the Democrats on their lies? Someone take the corrupt little quisling aside and remind him how the Republican Party was born out of the abolishonist movement.

"Laid-off federal workers blame Tea Party activists for shutdown"

That's what they had better be saying. That's what they were ordered to say.

[justa-hairyape]

Somehow they missed the fact that Republicans won the battle for the House in 2012.

The Republicans and Tea Party won more national elections.

[Blackirish]

Yeah. Laid off means you list your job. These guys are protestng a free vacation.

I blame the laid off federal employees for the shutdown. These perpetually flatulating public servants need to STHU. When Americans want any crap out of government employees, we’ll unscrew their heads and dip it out.

Whoever is instigating this misinformation certainly has a rough job.

He’they’ will NEVER convince me that with the salaries guaranteed that the ones on a FREEEBIE ‘vacation’ will be overly anxious to go back anytime soon. Especially those that have/had a ‘rainy day fund’.

Of course, those deemed ‘not essential’ in an office full of ‘working’ essential folks, may get a little edgy as the time passes and MGT finally figures out ‘they’ are really ‘not essential’.

Oh well, they were looking for a job when they found that one...they should look for another one.

It might be hard to find, with all the competition they face from non-former federal people who lost their jobs based on the actions of former fed employees.

I have popcorn!

Halloween is a few weeks away yet.

That's what they were ordered paid to say.

"They lost the battle on the field in 1863," Jackson told the crowd. "They lost the battle at the polls in 2012. They must not take our government."

THE ARROGANCE! They have become a Government with a Country.

It will be they who push us into that last unthinkable boundary.

[DaiHuy]

They chanted “give us a vote,” really?
I was under the impression they had 2 or 3 and lost them.

250 laid-off federal workers

I don't care about paid union stooges. Children in need of cancer treatment take priority over unionized terrorists.

[Jim from C-Town]

I would say that hey could get a job in the private sector, but there aren’t any!

[tumblindice]

“they are going to get back pay”

And they’re drawing unemployment now. They can pound sand.

[haircutter]

wow Fantastic that the T.E.A. Party members are STRONG AND POWERFUL ENOUGH to accomplish this.. with that kind of power, we for sure will take 2014 and 16...yeah this makes me feel good all over♥

[dalereed]

They ought to be tickled shitless for getting a paid vacation!!!

[Yogafist]

Happy to hear common sense still exists in a fed job, even more that it is a law enforcement position. Stay safe.
