Are Republicans Really Going to Shut Down


Posted: Feb 23, 2015

With their terrible concern with ISIS and the handling of terrorist activities, they will risk the shut down of DHS? This just doesn't make sense. Republicans are willing to risk the security of the U.S. homeland to make a political point on immigration. Once again, the Republican party is divided on their own approach. "If the agency is shut down, about 15 percent of its 230,000 employees — roughly 30,000 — would be furloughed. The rest, deemed essential, would be expected to continue working, but without receiving their regular biweekly paychecks. Transportation Security Administration officers at airports, Border Patrol agents, front-line law enforcement officials and members of the Coast Guard would be required to report to work." (This sounds like MT, no work, just sit and wait, no pay, just sit there. At least they get to do something with no pay?);

I hope so. They are funded now and their best (sm) - Idiots in charge

pass a clean funding bill and let the courts take care of the immigration issue.

Good idea - anonie

I agree. This sounds like a good idea to me. Let the courts deal with immigration that Mr. O tried to get through by EO

The borders are a moot point anyway thanks to BO. - He does not care.

Bring in the immigrants, any and all. He wants/needs more people obliged to his clown party to get more votes to keep more people oppressed to have more government control to.....He believes in communism, marxism and socialism! He does not respect the U.S. Constitution. Period!

Obama Should Keep His Arrogant Trap Shut.Mar 08, 2010
There's really just one conclusion to be reached, which is that the majority of Americans are coming to fear and hate Obama. He's shed independent voters at a rate never seen before since tracking began. When Obama opened his big yap about healthcare, his rating was crappy at -12 (Rasmussen). Since then, it's dropped even further to -19. Now, I don't know if you realize it or not, but that puts Obama right smack dab in the middle of Bush territory when the financial cri ...

If Obama blocks the budget to help the illegals, large sections of the federal government would shut down on Dec. 12. But Earnest equivocated wh ...

who are troubled by the recent shift to the far right that the Republican party has taken? I strongly believe in fiscal responsibility, and the party used to represent this, but now it seems like it has been hijacked by extremists and that greed is the motivating force in the current Republican party, along with draconian far-right ideas that leave little room for those of us who are more moderate. I find it very troubling, and I'm considering switching my party affiliation to Independent. ...

Dear GOP:  If you haven't realized it yet, the Tea Party is not just a game.  In a VERY liberal county, Miami-Dade in Florida, 88% of voters just FIRED (recalled) a tax-raising mayor who happened to be a Republican. He was raising taxes on declining property values while giving city workers raises. The hero in this story (other than the voters) is a guy named Norman Braman. He is the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles. He put plenty of cash into this recall effort and helped ...
