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.

RE: “...When would it be feasible?...”
-
I have thought about that question a lot.
When would it be appropriate
for the House of Representatives
to shut down the Federal Government?

If not the federal funding of abortion,
if not the over-sized federal budget,
if not our middle east foreign policy,
if not our immigration policy,
if not violations of the 1st amendment,
if not violations of the 2nd amendment,
if not violations of the 9th amendment,
if not violations of the 10th amendment,
then, what would it take?
Is there nothing worth taking a stand on?

The 435 members of the House of Representatives
are each elected locally by their individual districts.
They “represent” the voices of the people in their districts.
Is the Federal Government so important that what
“We the People” want is irrelevant?

Shut it down.
Shut it all down.
Turn off the key.
Set the parking brake.

The media will weep and wail.
The president will gnash his teeth.
But they don’t have the keys to start it back up.
