Reid and the Democrats are all but openly rooting for a government shutdown, knowing that the Obama-fluffer Media will spin it in their favor.
Shut the stupid government down. Lay off all the federal government employees starting with the IRS, FDA, EPA, FCC, FEC, HUD etc. etc. Do you want to keep it running?
“Reid and the Democrats are all but openly rooting for a government shutdown, knowing that the Obama-fluffer Media will spin it in their favor.”
And if the Republicans are once again defeated in another “compromise”, who do you think the media will call the victor?
My point being is that it’s better for the Republicans to keep the Tea Party with them and hold their ground, REGARDLESS of the outcome - than to let Obama break off the Tea Party and pretty much end the Republicans as an opposition party - which is their real goal.
We get beat up either way - we might as well hold together while we get beat up and have the Tea Party come out in 2014, so as to prevent Pelosi 2.0
...in any case, once the wealthy Northeastern Liberals get on the phone with their DEMOCRAT Congressmen, the Dems in Congress WILL BUCKLE. There is only so much punishment that a human can take before going insane, when a Northeast Liberal is at the other end of the phone. The Northeast Liberals will be DEMANDING that the Dems agree to ANYTHING that keeps their taxes from going up - and they are a HUGE faction of the Democrat Party, and Obama and the Dems know that full well - and will have to buckle because of them.
In other words, the Dems are BLUFFING now - but are the Republicans able to figure that out? History says no - they’re too stupid.
