COUNTDOWN TO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN (LIVE THREAD)

Seems like a good idea. Two Hours Left.

[Digger]

Watch as the GOP sells you down the river. Never again. Screw them!

OMG! Do you all see that they are all the same. Forget the party. THEY ARE ALL OWNED BY THE ELITES. IT IS TIME FOR THE REAL REVOLUTION.

[NELSON111]

This isn't the battle. This is the dems 2011 budget. 2012 is where the WAR will have to be fought.

No need to wage the war here. This isn't the battlefield. It's NEXT years budget. THAT is where we must lay it on the line and expend the political capital.

I say this mainly because the GOP STILL hasn't learned to play the PR game yet. They must master this skill if they are to win this battle.

Why did not ONE GOP person call harry reid on his lie about his wife/daughter/g-daughter's medical? They aren't going to planned parenthood for screening. What a bold faced lie. Yet...they just let him say it.

Lots to learn before the BIG fight.

[JDoutrider]

I full well knew this cave in was coming and promised myself not to get angry...

SCAROO THAT!

I'm PIZZED!

Remove Bonehead Boner!

We have been hosed by our own... again.

[oyez]

Obama now speaking. Obama ain’t happy. It sucks to be Obama.

[ejdrapes]

Look I'm not happy with the way this ended up, but no sense spending all this time fighting over a drop in the bucket when we need to be focusing on the 2012 budget and bigger ticket items like defunding ObamaCare. It doesn't include defunding PP, but Obama would never have signed a bill that did and now the Senate will have to go on record that they support tax payer funded abortions. And every Dem up for re-election in 2012 will have to run on that.

[Red Steel]

Obama : The Biggest spending cuts in the country’s history!

38 1/2 billion budget out of what? from a 1.4 - 1.5 trillion dollar budget?

Uhuuuh.

[Nowhere Man]

I feel betrayed, maybe it is better to let the whole thing collapse and then rebuild with the right ideas and set things as they should be. I used to work in IT and I see the U.S. like a computer with a bloated OS with zillions of patches. The hard drive needs to be reformatted, reinstall a minimalist OS (The Constitution, minus the income tax and direct election of senators) and a reboot.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Now the empty suited idiot goes on TV and claims victory, Obama had NOTHING to do with it but he gets the credit..disgusting..F him

This Romantic Tragedy - I’ll shut you down

Cr@p.....

[jeltz25]

Ironic that Qadaffi has stood up to Obama for longer than Boehner was able to.

[mardi59]

Bonehwad took 38.5 bil. Reis handed him his butt and he left the room with his tail between his legs! Odummy is now taking credit for the outcome.

[TomGuy]

If I heard Reid correctly, they have agreed on an extension through next Thursday.

[LdSentinal]

Don't look for courage in Washington D.C. Republicans.

It's the state Republicans who have the will to do what's right, like Scott Walker, John Kasich and Rick Scott.

[Colonel_Flagg]

We need Tea Party people in the White House and in the Senate, not Republican RINOS.

Tonight we learned exactly how much work remains to be done. Unfortunately, it is considerable. However, it is work that we can and must do if we are to save this nation.

[Red Steel]

$38 1/2 billion budget cut out of what? From a 1.4 - 1.5 trillion dollar budget?

Uhuuuh.

[bray]

This is a huge victory for obozo and Reid. They knew the GOP would do what it does best, cave. Just a prelude to Paul Ryan’s bill. Back to work getting rid of more RINOS and commiecrats.

Pray for America

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I agree again, but our job as Freepers is not to cheer for our guys, but whip them to do better.

[chooseascreennamepat]

“OMG! Do you all see that they are all the same. “

Boehner came out looking like a whipped dog. He knows he screwed up and his ass SHOULD BE GRASS. Of course it could have been worse but I need for someone to explain just how!

[screaminsunshine]

Ron Paul. How much will it take for conservatives to wake up. Do they want to be the GOP equivalent of the Blacks. That is what they are becoming.
