Agreed!
Send single issue CRs to the Senate covering specific departments and duties.
Let “Harry Reid’s Government Shutdown” last until next election. The Bolsheviks are screaming already that we shut off their money spigot. Keep it shut. Let te learn to do with less like the rest of us.
There is no GOP...Only puny nobodies, and Marxist lite snobs. It is too late for the Grand Old Party, and America in general. Fifty percent of the population is brain-dead. America as I knew it will not recover in my short lifetime.
Simple: Liberals control everything, especially the media and discussion.
GOP, You’ve Tried Surrender; Let’s Try Fighting
One thing I don’t understand is this.
3 1/2 yrs ago, the Democrats rammed this thing through at the stroke of midnight before Scott Brown could take Teddy’s seat in Mass.
The fact is his one vote would have killed this thing.
Not one single Republican backed this thing 3 1/2 yrs ago and even today after the 2010 backlash the Democrats still refuse to compromise or negotiate.
The Republicans need to get this out there.
America needs to be told the true historical history of the ACA.
Because the kneepad media will insist on it, and only a small minority of voters will have followed the entire saga and know what really happened.
The longer this is shut down the more it will favor the House GOP. People will begin to realize that there are a lot of useless things that government funds.
Moderate republicans are also called communists.
I think this issue is a winner if the GOP wakes up. Everyone hates Obamacare and they can see that, ultimately, it’s the GOP that is trying to stop it.
The government shutdown is being laid right where it belongs — at Obama’s feet.
Of course, the stupid party might still find a way to screw it up. They’re experts at it.
National Review’s Byron York was on Fox last night doing his cheese-eating surrender monkey impression.
I wonder how long it will take the Dims to figure out that the longer the debate on the CR the closer they get the point where debt limit is reached?
David Limbaugh writes, “I believe that if Republicans would finally draw a firm line in the sand and then go to the media with a united, 24/7 communications effort, they would — with their courage, their principled stand and their contagious patriotism — reignite the grass roots and inspire many others to recapture an optimistic spirit, a spirit that says that America is not yet dead and that there are still elected officeholders who are willing to stake their careers on saving this nation.”
I greatly appreciate and respect DL’s writing abilities and message. However, when he asks the Republicans to “go to the media” I ask, what media? The media is a propaganda arm of the Dem party. There is no media to go to that would not simply extract and manipulate the Republican message for whatever propaganda purpose they could. Who will you go to? John Stewart (a central figure in information for youth)? Colbert (a central source of information for many)? The Huffington Post (the socialist’s counterpart to the Drudge Report and a well-funded content-generating information source I see referenced a lot)? The NYT, LAT, or WaPo (major old-line info sources to the urban centers in the US)? The alphabet networks, CNN, or MSNBC? The AP or Reuters (content-generators)?
The solution lies in (1) educational initiatives (essential to long-term solutions and sadly ignored for decades despite pleas to Republicans), (2) accessible sources of information directed at the young, immigrants, entrepreneurs, and working people, and (3) one-on-one communication and role-modeling to others—live your beliefs and explain the inextricable connections between life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I have heard people reject these things because they take too long—after many decades of suffering due to socialism, just how long are you willing to wait for an improvement? Right now, despite what the situation may look like to many, people are increasingly looking for hope in the midst of a dimming life. Now is the time to offer that hope and freedom is always a popular idea. What I recommend could be broadly accomplished in about six years. However, broad support for freedom and opportunity in hopes of prosperity is already in place—it simply needs to be shown to people. If the current media propaganda machine won’t do it, take it to people one-on-one and get that truth machine started.
Nice set of questions!
Does each of us have your permission to print those questions on a “survey” form and then ask each person we meet to answer those questions?
We DO need to take your message to our un-informed voters.
The Rats don’t want a conference come debt ceiling time that story will change.
The government shut down under Clinton was blamed on the Republicans but it was orchestrated by John Sweeney of the AFL-CIO.
