Now, we can go and disturb the status quo.

Jeb Bush said he was opposed to a shutdown of the federal government proposed by some congressional Republicans in their fight to defund Planned Parenthood – a tactic that Carly Fiorina, one of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, suggested she could endorse.
Mr. Bush, the former Florida governor, called such a move wrongheaded and futile.
“I am against the government shutdown. That’s not how democracy works,” he said during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace. He said such a tactic would not succeed in stripping Planned Parenthood of federal funds under President Obama.
Mrs. Fiorina, appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” sounded open to a shutdown, saying it would force Democrats to defend what she called “the butchery” of Planned Parenthood.
“If the president of the United States and Democrats are willing to stand up and defend this practice and shut down the government over it, then let them explain it to the American people,” she said.
Asked if she wanted a congressional showdown, Mrs. Fiorina said: “I believe there are a variety of ways to deal with this. But I believe this is something we must stand up and fight for. Because it is about the character of our nation.

Jeb is an accommodater who will send us down a river much wose than we have already been on
Jeb Bush supported Planned Parenthood before he opposed it

WHY the HELL are we giving a PRIVATE, EVIL Corp. ANY money??? WHY??
So, Jeb, when WOULD it be feasible to shut down the government?
Planned Parenthood killing babies and selling their body parts isn’t enough?
F U!
These idiots keep debating a government shutdown. Just issue a statement that the house is not going to fund planned parenthood period. Obammy can do whatever he wants to do, but we are not going to fund planned parenthood. And then stand on that statement.
Go after PP on the basis of "breaking the law"...let a judge issue an onjunction....no more abortions until the issue is resolved.
And still...the real problem is abortion itself. How the hell can murdering a baby be legal??
Now, we can go and disturb the status quo.
Snarly has nothing to lose by promoting a shutdown. The guys that do....will get the heat.
Please do not buy Snarly’s BS. The last time there was a shutdown she sided with the other side.
And the if we don't give them money the whole damn government will have to close down. The federal government can not exist without funding planned parent abortions.
I think you can go to the American people and TELL them exactly why the National Parks are shut down.....because the Democrats want PP to be able to sell DEAD BABY PARTS!!!
This is yet another reason Jeb is polling in the hard-to-measure low percentages.
Ya got me!
This idiot accepts all of the liberal lies. It would be nice to have a candidate that could actually cut through the lies and tell the truth to the American people. This guy will be a disaster if he gets elected.
Maybe so in a democracy, but it's how our founders deigned our REPUBLIC!!
The people's house controls the purse strings.
James Madison in Federalist 58:
The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of government. They, in a word, hold the purse that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.
Jeb must work with state and federal lawmakers to propose a Planned Parenthood amendement to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify Jeb’s amendment then Congress will have the constitutional authority that it needs to tax and spend for vote-winning Planned Parenthood and Jeb will be a hero.
Obama is a King or a tyrant if he is willing to shut down the government to get his way versus the People’s House who controls the budget.
She hijacked the issue from Cruz IMHO ..Nobody owns a issue, dont get me wrong,Huck made himself look terrible, so terrible by not allowing Cruz to speak at “his” event
But seems to me she hijacked the issue none the less .
Jeb Bush hoped that someone else would save Terri Schiavo from being murdered. When no one else would, he ran away.
No surprise that Jeb is caving in on funding the murder of babies.
