Seems like a good idea. Two Hours Left.

Of what/to what?
Stop caving, get tough, this shutdown is due to too much government....we are all to blame.....some for growing it, some for not cutting it down faster and sooner, others for being “Oh well, it is what it is”, and the rest of us for taking too long to raise up and say “NO More’!

What if the government shut down and no one noticed.

That's Zero's worst nightmare.

Fox News has become as much a GOP toadie as the MSM are the Democrats'.

Fox News and conservatism are but passing acquaintances—Beck is leaving and Hannity has sold out.
RINO Rove runs the show.

If this is true, Boner needs to go.

I knew the SOB boner would cave!!! SINCE the night I saw him shed those crocodile tears on TV on election night I knew Right there and then we were in BIG DOO-DOO with this spineless crybaby majority leader!! UGHHHHHHH!!! Hello Obamacare!!

[LaybackLenny]

Yeah. I’ve years ago grown numb to the so-called “Fox News Alert.” It’s applied to virtually every story. Wonder what they’ll use if something REALLY important happens? “Fox New Alert FOR REAL?”

[Poundstone]

Looks like we have a deal for the next five days. This is good. We don’t need a shutdown.

The Senate has a quorum call, getting members in to listen and/or vote. Reid due up at 11:15, 45 minutes till the deadline.

[onyx]

Definitelya contract from the Huckster. I detest him and he’s a sell-out.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Does this five day deal include the Senate?

[edge10]

Boner is a worthless POS and has to go. 40 freakin billion? I’m finished with anyone who votes for this.

[MountainDad]

I just want to face the breeze, and smack the horse on the @ss.

LOL. Yeah. Don't we all......
