Even if all sorts of political situations were being played out, even if the Republicans did demonstrate political reasons for the shutdown that were not noteworthy, the bottom line is, no matter what the criminal Democrats and writers like this guy want to conjure up against the Republicans, forgetting all the rest of the bullsh!t, the Republicans were being apolitical in getting the government to shut down.
All the frenzied feigned scare-tactic histrionics the Democrats tried to put over Americans, the bottom line is that the Pusillanimous Pinhead of Profligacy had to be stopped, just only to make the point, for that alone it was worth it, Mr. Seib, as being admirable and moral, without question absolutely worth it.
If obamacare is a success, it was not worth it.
However, based on that above statement I think it was well worth it. The next few months are going to be very interesting on the obamacare front.
It was worth every penny. Last night, Rep. Renee Elmers was on FOX distancing herself from the Tea Party and any real support she can count on in North Carolina’s 2nd District. We put her in office, we can put someone else in next November.
The Republicans stood to gain tremendously but the prospect of success scared them, they are so unused to it, so they, of course, threw it all away at the last minute and proudly accepted “blame” for the shutdown. They never made the economic arguments or much of any other arguments for the operation. They performed wonderfully well in their assigned tasks of boosting the Democrats chances in the upcoming elections, transferring the authority to control the debt limit to the Democrat President, and transferring the Origination of money bills to the Senate.
Absolutely. Our “I told you so” moment is just around the corner.
NO — because what we got in the end was worse.
When Murdock bought the WSJ, many if us thought it would be a breath of fresh air, how wrong we were. Even the NY Post, also Murdock owned, has shifted to the left, as has the Fox network.
Obama and Reid caused the shutdown. I guess among the Gop elited and Dems it’s “settled science” that Republicans are to blame.
Cruz ascended to the leadership role, Lee stood tall, and boney folded like a wet towel.
NOTHING?!? They had the support they needed, they had the tools and boney capitulated like it was nothing.
IMHO, the nature of the capitulation was an attempt to slapdown Senator Cruz.
Oh, and we know about the RINO earmarks... FURINO!!!
For Cruz, Hell Yes. The rest of the Republicans can Go To Hell.
The point, mr sieb, was to smoke out those who would support the President and blow up their own party. That has been accomplished and the GOP can now officially be declared dead. There is one party, the Proletariats. Then, there are a few patriots running around. That’s it.
The only point the ‘Pubbies have made is that they will, inevitably, surrender on any point. They are weaklings, cowards, milquetoasts. They are spineless, balless, retarded eunuchs.
Yes, it was worth it. The exposure of the spitefulness of the Spite House alone was worth it.
Yes. Cruz took what would have been a speedbump and gave it national attention right before the big Zerocare rollout debacle. Now it’s on the front burner just as people are starting to sign up, and they are pissed.
Just in time for the ‘14 elections. Or rather primaries, as Cruz exposed all the fakes from the real deals and gave us a roadmap of who needs to be gotten rid of.
I challenge the first half of the question. There was no point. It was grandstanding theatrical BS that had no effect of any kind other than getting a few deluded dupes to think “their guy” was “fighting hard”. Anybody that thinks there was a point has chosen to believe lies.
There was no price. Cory Booker won in New Jersey by 10 points. He should have won by 20 points. The only price the republicans will pay will be in the primaries and in their national war chest. Never get another dime from me, my money will go to Conservative organizations, not liberal republican sh6tbirds.
