The irony of Dems threatening a govt shutdown is hilarious -
____________________________________________________________

If the Dems do follow Lie-A-Watha’s lead and shut down the Government, does anyone believe that the Dems will, actually, get the blame? I’m thinking they will find a way to successfully blame the GOP for the Government shut-down. Someone give me some input here. Am I right or wrong?

She’s trying to do a Ted Cruz but she’s not doing it for the right reasons. Besides, no one is listening to her.

LIAWATHA is also an attention getter, and at this point in the Kabuki Theatre I don’t really care who brings down the curtain on the Omnibus Sellout Bill...just that it is stopped.

I see Warrens quick rise much like Obamas...so “someone” is pulling her strings...sadly she is one of the few against Boehner on his. Strange bedfellows indeed.

. . . a deal negotiated behind closed doors that slips in a provision . . .

Where have I heard that before?

the issue was portrayed as a change in financial law that would allow banks to conflate FDIC-insured bank accounts with derivative trading (again?). This sounds like a terrible idea, and if true (doubtful), then Elizabeth Warren is correct on this issue (she and Sarah Palin see eye-to-eye on Wall Street and crony capitalism in many ways)

That is how I understand it and I agree with Warren on this issue.

“The House is about to vote on a budget deal, a deal negotiated behind closed doors that slips in a provision that would let derivatives traders on Wall Street gamble with taxpayer money and get bailed out by the government when their risky bets threaten to blow up our financial system.”

She has a point. Why is this provision in this bill?

A good question, that few here are asking. I can see many reasons not to support this bill and Warren is 100% correct on this one.

I want to shut it down too...

Difference is, I don’t want to re-open it without stripping the FedGov back to Art 1 Sec 8 and firing everyone currently there.

The government shut down and noone noticed, except for Zer0’s attack on the memorials.

Thank you, maybe some here will actually read why she is against this instead of just parroting "she is the enemy, she must be wrong" crap.

Warren is wrong on lots of things but she right on this one and this is about to become law by the sellout congresscritters both Dem and Repub's who have betrayed us all.

I agree that to remove this provision means just one thing: instead of those banks that are engaging in derivatives gambling collapsing, the United States would have to destroy itself to protect them from collapse. THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES COULD FAIL AS LONG AS THESE BANKS SURVIVE is the idea.

This is what the removal of this provision means. Anyone who votes in favor of removing this provision is wholly owned, body and soul, by these banks.

Importantly, these banks are *still* gambling trillions of dollars in derivatives markets, with the same insane addiction as some widowed grandmother gambling away her retirement money on a one armed bandit in a casino.

Bang! There goes the rent money. Bang! There goes the money for medicine. Bang! There goes the money for food.

They don’t care, as long as they can continue gambling.

They must be stopped.

Elizabeth Warren is getting a free ride to dominate the issue of our messed up banking system. I'm surprised that Rand Paul (following in his dad's footsteps) or one of the other new-age US Senators hasn't embraced the issue of opposing the Federal Reserve and pro-elitist banking practices. It makes me suspicious of all of them.

What's my point? If the 'pubs who campaigned on changing things keep selling us out, there's a good chance it will be President Warren.

Wasn’t Palin on the forefront of this?

I've often thought the same thing, as crazy as it sounds.

Bailouts for the 'banksters' &/or the 'companies too large to fail', crony capitalists, etc.

There may not be much common ground, but OTOH, on how many issues are Conservatives and the GOPe on the same page these days, anyway?! Throw in certain (not all) Libertarian ideas about personal freedoms & keeping the gov't out of our daily lives, and it couldn't hurt to piece together a platform and see where it leads.

Problem is, the far-left loons are both closed-minded and lacking in the capacity to think for themselves.

Maybe the RINO Leadership in Congress could learn from this Communist Warren, who portrays herself as having more balls than this current GOP leadership! Take note RINO’s, this is how the communist are able to continue destroying this Nation, (with your assistance by sitting on the sidelines and sucking your thumbs and attacking the American people “Tea Party”) committing themselves (the communist) to doing what ever it takes to establish their form of communism on the American people, while the RINO’s cower in a corner, fearful someone in the old media might blame them for [shutting down their government]. Too afraid, paralyzed with fear, unable to stand up for the American people, in favor of the RINO’s handlers in the Chamber of Communist, and refusing to move against this lawless President who took a dump on the US Constitution then wiped himself with the Declaration of Independence, because secretly, these RINO’s all support exactly what this communist Warren and their King Obama is doing to this Nation!

Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring has sprung a gasket?

Bet you won’t find her in the Senate cloakroom nuzzling Howdy Doody or Buffalo Boob.

This seductress wants to sit in the Oval Orifice. Instead of the executive mansion being called the White Hut it will be the White Teepee if the Princess has anything to do with it.

Wonder how she gets along with Soras and the other puppet masters?
