These GOP House members are still there after midnight.
Meanwhile Obama’s in bed snoozing after a challenging game of golf. It was low 70s and sunny today in DC
Similarly Reid gave the DEm Senate the weekend off and back to work 2 pm Tuesday.
You can see they are really upset and worried. Reid said no paying the troops without Obama-care no delays
This whole thing really needs to hinge on two things:
Overspending by the Government and Obamacare. This new entitlement will eventually bankrupt Government so they are connected to the same argument.
Both are destroying our freedoms and way of life. Both are destroying the economy. How hard is it for the folks to understand this and to do the right thing. Well, there is the leftist Media pushing for a Socialist agenda so there is push back where there should not be. So, I see the Media as the major problem here... Unfortunately I don’t see anybody perusing the truth about any of this, now or in the future (it’s called politics).
I love it ... FUBO !!!
I thought that the Senate was taking Sunday off. This ought to be interesting.
Looks like the Senate is taking Sunday off
The House could always check if the Senate is on the golf course with Obama.
Negotiate with Iran, but not with Republicans.
I believe the Dems don’t want a slowdown because after a few months the people might wake up and realize they didn’t miss it. This is more fake end of world bs the Dems and msm will try to make stick to the Repubs. You chickens??t Repubs. Delay is just another Rino smokescreen to get the Dems pass the election.
Will the Shutdown be as horrific as the Sequester was?
Oh! the humanity. /snark
A shutdown is for days
Obamacare is for the rest of our lives
Unless a coup has taken place in the House that we're unaware of, then Boehner is still Majority Leader, and you constituents of his need to contact his office to congratulate him for finally finding some testicles. Encourage him to hold on tightly to those newly-found testicles! It's very refreshing (although I would have loved for him to tack on a House version of the Vitter Amendment too...).
The Rubicon has been crossed.
Does that delay the whole law or just the individual mandate?
How about you "Little" Harry Reid The Senate's Leading Democratic Party Marxist? You obstructionist Pompous Ass you have put a choke hold on any economical recovery, any workable solutions on any issues, and any other voice being heard but yours and Obama's. Begone Little man. Ted Cruz's truths has you throwing toddler's tantrums and I think it's hilarious. Let's watch Little Harry have a meltdown LOL.
We are quick to criticize but slow to praise...The house needs to hear form us now.
Many remember the government shutdown of 1995/96 when a showdown between the majority Republicans and the Clinton Administration shut down the government for 28 days. They portrayed the Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich as a cry baby because, “He closed down the government because Clinton made him sit at the back of the plane.” Thankfully, compromise did come—a balanced budget over seven years, tax cuts, and changes in mandatory spending programs such as Medicare. It worked to Clinton’s advantage.
Today we face another shutdown where President Obama wants no compromise. The Democrats are using the same playbook they used against Newt Gingrich including the politics of personal destruction. They are saying that if you defy us, the government will be shut down and we will do everything to blame Republicans.
The Republicans in the House are like aircraft engineers and have the Constitutional mandate to insure the flight readiness of the budget. They are saying that the budget with Obamacare is a plane that won’t fly. Americans know that Obamacare is wrong and the Democrats secretly know it too. President Obama is in the cockpit crying, “Get this plane off the ground!” He is sounding more and more like a cry baby having a tantrum that is willing to starve grandma and vets to get his way. The aircraft engineers must take the bad part out or the plane won’t fly. A shutdown in this case will be on Obama; not the Republicans.
They need to make it clean and clear. Revoke all waivers, make Obamacare mandatory for all federal employees as long as the law exists. Period. Just that. And the continuing resolution lasts until next year only as long as that remains law.
I am fed up with this craziness. The House needs to send the same original House bill back to the Senate with an ultimatum - “This is the best and final offer.†Here is my justification: Many have discussed how the American people could get rid of this corrupt government. Isn’t shutting down the government the best way of doing it? I have lost complete faith in the phony election process we keep participating in. Indeed, the electoral makeup today is such that that little change is likely. If there were an armed rebellion, lots of turmoil would ensue and government operations would be shut down anyway and a lot of Americans would lose their lives. Why not just starve the blasted SOBs into submission. It will not be pretty, but it is a preferred method to having to do it by force. Obama would likely continue to illegally spend our tax dollars and then the next step would be to stop paying our taxes. What are they going to do then?
I’m sorry if I missed something here. But why doesn’t the house send back exactly the same CR to the senate? Defund Obamacare? What do they have to lose at this point?.
Why would they just hold it off until after the 2014 elections? Won’t that just help the democrats?
