Pat is starting to sound like Snarlin’ Arlen.

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.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Toomey, you ignorant slut!

The Word on the street is that a “Hang your spine here” has been installed in both the GOP Senate and GOP house “Cloak rooms” they are instructed to hang thier spines and cajones there before proceeding to the floor

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!

[GeronL]

Nobody has proposed shutting down the government

[arista]

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.

[GeronL]

Nobody has proposed shutting down the government. They have proposed to not fund ObamaCare in the next CR.

BTW, whatever happened to budgets?

[arista]

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

Pat is an elite slave.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

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

[Sgt_Schultze]

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.

[chris37]

Pat, you ain’t foolin’ no one.

We ain’t buying the phony GOP bullsh!t, anymore.

Your party is going get swept the **** out real soon.

[LibLieSlayer]

toomey... toomey... yes I remember... he is a liberal republican from Pennsylvania.

[RIghtwardHo]

Do you think the Tea party will ever realize how badly they have been played by the GOP?

[Secret Agent Man]

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.

Didn't take long for the Toomescence to catch Potomac Fever.

"It's primaryin' time!"

[Artcore]

I am soooo done voting for Republicans!

And Rush can spare me his bull sh*t about being team players, and how third parties never work...blah...blah...blah.

Tell us Rush...and Mark; what has being loyal Republicans, and team players gotten us? NOTHING, EXCEPT GETTING SCREWED EVERY TIME! Sorry, but I have some self respect left. The only political power I have is to either not vote, vote third party, or do a write in. If the GOPe and RINOs are going to destroy the country and screw we conservatives over yet again...well, they can damn well do it without me!

FUPT...and all the other limp wristed, POS, RINOs!

[Spunky]

"US senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) today was suggesting that an idea being floated in some Republican circles — to try and shut down the government to stop Obamacare — is just not the right way to go."

I am beginning to think we have a bunch of idiots in congress. They are NOT talking about shutting down the government to stop Obamacare, they are saying DON'T FUND OBAMACARE, but fund the rest of the government.

[dforest]

Toomey is no better than Arlen. He is a waste of space and he has no reason to exist as a rep.
