McConnell Sticks To Vow About No Government Shutdown As Deadline Nears For Debt Ceiling March 08, 2015FoxNews.com

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that the Republican-controlled Congress won’t shut down the federal government or allow it to default as the Treasury Department quickly approaches its so-called “debt ceiling.”

“I made it clear after November that we won’t shut down the government or default on debt,” the Kentucky Republican told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Dang! You’re right. I knew it in November and voted (and didn’t vote) accordingly. Here are some of the responses I got on FR:

Castrus: At least we have a fighting chance with RINOs - we have ZERO chance with the Marxist Democrats. Buy yourself a clue.

Our biggest problem is the DEMocrats. What’s wrong with you?

mplsconservative: “Our biggest problem is the GOP.”
Heh. You’re funny. As I see it, 0bama and Reid have been doing some pretty big damage.

tcrlaf: It’s great that you have marginalized yourself, and will have no influence, whatsoever, on the outcome of the election!

FORWARD!!!!

Kazan: Only someone dumber than a trump stump thinks letting Democrats win elections is a good idea after what’s gone on for the past six years.

neocon1984: What will it take for you to get it that Democrats in power are much worse than squishy Republicans in power? Did you even read what Rush had to say? I am guessing not because you did not respond to it. You just have your talking point to spout.

I am beginning to think that FR is being funded by George Soros. The intellectual quality of posts has greatly diminished in the past 5-6 years.

Sorry Jim!

eddie willers: There are only two parties
Pick one.

Repeal The 17th: Harry Reid thanks you.

terycarl: “our last recourse is withholding our vote in the general. That’s what I did.”

you, then, shouldn’t be allowed to express your opinion.

I guess we have a one party system now. That’s what happens when you elect greedy, lying cowards.

Nothing will stand between McConnell and the fine institution of the United States Senate!

We will just have to abscond with some of their millions of bullets to give them proper firing squads. I detest these lying treasonous bastards and the harm they are doing to our Republic.

It’s a good thing we reelected the RINOs instead of just getting the majority with acceptable candidates.

Imagine what it would be like if we didn’t have them to fight back against Obama’s agenda! The democrats would win!

With large images like this you will get better results by using percentage spacing, like this...

McConnell told the “Family” that, on Face the “Family”

“2015, the year our dirty mandatory body mortgages commence”

Oh, and guess what?” “We get to work even less, while everyone else has to find second, third jobs, to pay for our dirty body mortgage plans.”

“Now we can raise interest rates, stop QEs, and make our dirty dollar look good, all on the backs of others”

“And while we’re at it, let’s keep packing government retirements into OUR stock market, prop it up, and then let um cash out into high prices earning nothing but our take.”

We won a landslide in November to stop 0bama and get this country back on track and nothing...nothing!... has changed in Washington.

What is our next recourse? Is it even patriotic to ask the question?

Good point!

To answer your question on “who’s stupid”, I guess that would be those Kentuckians, not on the government tit, that voted for the sob!

Question to FReepers: WHEN does this end?

When Obama and the Marxists/Fascists have achieved absolute rule and control, or they are no longer in our midst.

HOW does this end?

Ugly. Perhaps the ugliest in history. It's our fault we let evil rise up amongst us and now our people are ignorant of our foundations that established and supported liberty and willfully replaced them with self-centered new ones that are antithetical to liberty.

Either we get wiped out - or the cost to defend ourselves is going to be more horrific than anyone of us can imagine, and there is still a good possibility that we will never see liberty again.

How can this ever end in a good way?

It can't. We waited too long.

Then again, a nation under Judgement that refuses to repent will certainly be destroyed until there is nothing left of it.

Thomas Jefferson answered that question already and it is outlined as a duty in the Declaration of Independence.

However, our Marxist/Fascist overlords have brainwashed the majority that not only are such ideas unpatriotic and indicative of a domestic terrorist, but that Jefferson and the Founders were racist slave owners - and therefore what they wrote and said is irrelevant in our modern era of social justice.

Our next recourse is this: submit to or resist tyranny - both will likely result in your death.

But those are our options. For now, we still have that choice to make.

However, as history teaches - when despotism reaches absolute power - even the choice to live or die is taken from you and controlled by the State.
