Shutting government down is precisely the right tool to use on an oversized, overweening, arrogant, sucking us dry government.
Toomey is also a tool, just not the right tool to cut government down to size.

Wrong Tool?
They should be using EVERY TOOL AT THEIR DISPOSAL to fight this thing. The more tools you use ...... the better the chances you will achieve your objective!

This is truly sad. Good Rick Santorum was routinely and viciously attacked on this premiere conservative forum for not endorsing the formerly perfect conservative, Pat Toomey. Now, well it is all different.
I wonder when conservatives here will stop the circular firing squad, or is that the game being played.

Utterly dishonest journalism on display here. Those who want to defund Obamacare don't want to shut the government down. They want to fund every penny of the government EXCEPT Obamacare.
If the House stands firm and refuses to pass any spending bill that includes funds for Obamacare, but does pass spending bills that fund everything else, the government may well shut down. But it won't be because the GOP shut it down. It will be because the Rats will have refused to fund the rest of the government unless Obamacare funding is also included. They are literally willing to shut down the government over their desire to shove Obamacare down our throats.

Nobody has proposed shutting down the government. They have proposed to not fund ObamaCare in the next CR.
BTW, whatever happened to budgets?

The only problem with a government shutdown is that it eventually starts back up again.

Why end the 30-year-long strategic retreat? It’s working great.

If you buy into the argument of the left, you lose before you start. Republicans are proposing to fund the government, not shut it down.

Do you think the Tea party will ever realize how badly they have been played by the GOP?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
an ultra-conservative would not just rule out a shutdown for something that is and will continue to destroy the country. and oppress and wind up killing citizens.
sorry he ain’t ultra conservative. these people doggegly fight to the death for their beliefs.
