OK, is the Stupid Party going to let itself get rolled by the Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myself...) again? Boehner should be out there with the words "Obama Government Shutdown" on his lips 10 timnes a day. Didn't they learn ANYTHING from the Clintonites?
EVERY ARTICLE dealing with this on Free Republic should have the title Obama Government Shutdown: XXXXXXXXX, and the keyword should be obamagovshutdown.
Time for FR & the conservative bloggers to ram this one down their throat.
ping.
It’s better to have a shut-down now than a melt-down in the future.
The Left is wailing about Boehner’s saying, “So be it!” if 1,000 government jobs are lost. I think he should counter with a bill to eliminate the Departments of Education, Energy, Commerce, Agriculture and all others except Defense and State. How would they like them apples? His base, US, would love it!
hmmmm, you really don’t expect the Republicans, i.e. socialists to be able to outthink the Democrats, i.e. communists do you? Just not possible. Remeber this is the same person who voted to accept the usurper. Obama has got them beat on this one, he had them beat before they knew it.
Only hope is they can punt on the CR for a few weeks and triangulate on the Debt limit, attach the cuts to the Debt Limit bill. This avoids reconcilliation and a whold bunch of other budget procedural stuff. Problem is the Republicans, i.e. socialists will also be gamed on the debt limit presentation, and they won’t be able to control the timing. The year rolls by and the Republicans, i.e. socialists have less to play with. Then Obama crams them on the 2012 budget and the Republicans got nodda.
When you got s...for brains in almost an entire party that’s what happens. Been watching it here in DC for 25 years....Republicans, i.e. socialists know their place at the foot of their master here.
Furloughing government employees is done for show. Unless the wasteful spending is actually addressed, the social spending programs cut back, the redundant or unneeded agencies actually eradicated... then all of this is bread and circuses. They'll eventually go straight back to their old practices and the bleeding will continue apace.
