Get rid of the EPA first...then the Education Department and Head Start. Then let healthy moochers work in our parks....except making them perform is another thing.

Republicans say Democrats have gotten greedy with polls showing the public mostly blames the GOP for the shutdown.

ABOUT THAT POLL (it's been exposed as useless)

This is the Senate they're discussing not the House.

On "Fox News Sunday," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) admitted that Republicans overreached when they tried to defund ObamaCare with the government spending bill.

I hate it when I see guys who are supposed to be fighting for us surrender to "conventional" thinking. The response should have been if we don't defund obamacare the deficit will be many times worse.

Is the sequester now in play to give something to Boner and McConnell to wave about as a victory! while they are completely folding?

“Make Dingy pass a budget.”

Budget? We ain’t got no budget. We don’t need no budget. I don’t have to show you any stinking budget you God-Damned Tea Party fools. Harry Reid.

You know it can become very discouraging when all I see are the "surrender monkeys". Thank GOD I have Free Republic and some other internet sites to go to.

I'm praying the Tea Party members in the House can get the establishment Pubs to hold the line. If not I say leave the party and if this means the Rats get the House so be it. We are in the fight of our lives.

“... Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on “Face the Nation” on CBS on Sunday, explaining that Democrats want a mix of entitlement reforms and revenue increases.”

More freaking revenues!!!!! Quit raising the amount you spend. Make do with what you have or do with less.
They will never enact entitlement reforms that reduce spending; to do so would alienate their voting blocks. You know, those who want something for nothing or, at least, with very little output on their part.
Cut the budget, cull the Federal employee herd, and save money, pay to reduce the deficit and at the same time reduce the yearly budget. Jeez, .5% a year would be a start and no one would starve or do without, if they are willing to do what is needed to get by.
Can’t these guys just visualize what would happen if all those taxes were left in the economy for business and the consumer to spend? Or is it, they won’t see it because it just might upset a looter(I mean Voter)?

The Republicans asked for a WW1 surrender, and the Democrats offered Ww2. Unconditional Surrender! Now they are just toying with Republicans, they want reparations, too.

I think that's why it's time for the Tea Party Pubs to walk away if the GOP won't hold the line. A lot of the "establishment" Pubs get away with having it both ways. They say they're for limited govt and individual liberty but when it's time to fight they claim they don't have the numbers to win and surrender. I understand we can't get everything we want every time we fight, but we should always win something. This fight is about obamacare, that's where concessions have to be forced from the Rats.

My wife keeps saying, "hey, they voted for it they deserve the consequences". I always ask, "what about our children and hopefully future grandchildren"?

Nothing FDR tried worked but we’re still stuck with it, and then some. Never let a program go into effect if you can stop it ahead of time. As Reagan said, government programs are the closest thing to eternal life on this planet.
