BUT here is a spark, tiny as it might be, and it needs encouragement. This is neither the time or place to be peeing on that spark if you catch my drift.

If this turns out to be more than a stunt, I'll eat my post. LOL.

The Friday revolt lasted 30 minutes passed the closing deadline. So far, they only have about a dozen who have said they will participate. Unless 90% of the Pubbies and some Dems show up, this will go nowhere. If it does mushroom in to a real shaker that rattles the foundation of Pelosi's House, I will be surprised. The Pubbies generally aren't too effective at political stunts.

The government shutdown in 1995 gave us 4 more years of Clinton. Thanks, GOP.

As for 'peeing on the spark', the spark began last Friday and quickly fizzled last Friday when the participants blinked (decided to go home).

America still sleeps, while Pelosi “clarified” what was really happening on the Sunday “Meet the Press” propaganda shows, which about 1 or 2% of ALL Americans watched. (For about 10 minutes.)

Face it folks, the Democrats have already turned this around against us. This will become evident in the next several days and won’t even make it to the end of the week.

That is exactly what I told Hubby. They should have stayed.....period. Let the Capitol Police arrest or eject them. If not bring in cots and lanterns, etc. But...go home for the weekend and then come back? That is like saying you will go back to fasting after you eat that cheeseburger.

Why don’t you just take your negativity elsewhere?!? If you are not here to help, then why don’t you just go to another thread?
