I would let the Republicans shut the government down before accepting that bill

I'm tired of the obstruction. People are warning him this is going to harm the GOP, and they're right. It's hard enough to get anything done in goverment--and they call Democrats the mule? All I see is the GOP digging their feet in and refusing to cooperate. Normally I'd be all for the GOP making stupid decisions and guarenteeing a Dem win in 2016, but I'm tired of our politicians acting like children. Instead of building a better country, we have senators declar ...

They are against government and don't want the rest of us to have the benefits of government either. That is beyond silly and is very selfish. People will be hurt. Our economy is fragile right now anyway. This may put us over that line. How much more of these tea party people can America take? ...

["Sen. Lee and his compadres see things the same way. “We’re now approaching the last stop on the train before Obamacare kicks in with full force and fury,” Lee said in an interview last week. “Sept. 30, when the continuing resolution [to fund the government] expires…that will be our last opportunity to defund Obamacare.” The House GOP is very divided on this, with most reps opposed, but that obviously won't stop the far right ...

Interesting to see what would-be happen if we had a long term shutdown. Scary! ...

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that President Barack Obama will block a government budget bill if the GOP denies him the funds needed to provide amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Earnest said when asked by ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl if Obama would veto a government-wide budget that defunded the amnesty program, “Yes". 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 ...

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 expecte ...

Twenty-eight percent of Republicans said such violence against the government can be justified according to a CBS poll. Why is this attitude so much more prevalent in the Republican party? http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20028218-503544.html ...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wanted to prove on Thursday that Democrats don’t have the votes to weaken Congress’ authority on the debt limit. Instead they called his bluff, and he ended up filibustering his own bill. The legislation, modeled on a proposal McConnell offered last year as a “last-choice option” to avert a U.S. debt default, would permit the president to unilaterally lift the debt ceiling unless Congress mustered a two-thirds majority to stop him. Preside ...

The verbiage in this article is astounding. The Dems held the government hostage as much as they accuse the Republicans of. All this rhetoric about attack on the people of Wisconsin...what a load of hooey. They act like there is not a person in Wisconsin who is NOT a public worker. What about the REST of them??? The ones that have to foot the bill through their tax dollars?? And all the unions/Dems can do is try to whip up the old class warfare crap. Wha ...

rint Bill Kristol thinks Republicans should be willing to raise taxes. It’s not the first time. By Suzy Khimm , Updated: November 11, 2012 John Boehner suggested last week that Republicans would be open to compromise on taxes — so long as tax rates don’t go up. Now Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol has suggested that they give way on that, too. On Fox News this Sunday, Kristol said: You know what? It won’t kill the country if ...

"With Democrats pressing for passage this week, Senate Republicans, backed by their leader, Mitch McConnell, attempted to attach controversial legislation calling for possible new sanctions on Iran that President Barack Obama opposes." "The legislation had the backing of most veterans' organizations, but was doomed by deep disagreements between Democrats and Republicans that have made this Congress one of the least productive in decades. Sanders, an independent who caucu ...

How I wish that people knew more about the history of this nation, and about the expansion of government with more agencies, more laws, more regulations, more inspections, and other impediments to personal success that has occurred especially since the 1930s, and in which NONE of the parties in power have been blameless. Folks, we now have officials shutting down lemonade stands and fining people for collecting rainwater from their own roofs. If you have a koi pond in your back yard, the ...

Needs more research, but interesting. I'm not sure it always has to be so "either/or", though - I can accept evolution ad fact, but also believe in God was the master scientist of that experiment. I can also know I'm in love but have no way to scientifically prove that to anyone other than deed. In fact, love lights up on SPECT scan images like chocolate or prayer. However, I have always believed that before you can accept others' smoking-gun evidence as fact, politica ...

Since Angelfood Ministries got shut down I don't know what to do. I support myself, my family, my elderly mom and it was a blessing having Angelfood boxes to count on. Does anyone know any other similar ministry program for us struggling to feed a full house? Does anyone know why it closed down? Or is it just another sign of our ever faltering economy? I'm stressing here! ( or does anyone have a recipe for hotdog or bologna casseroles or soup?! lol!! ...

He brings people into his cabinet to do their jobs and he leaves them trying to bail him out or decipher what he really means.

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 ...

As I sat crying while watching Francine Wheeler give the White House Weekly Address, I tried to put myself in her shoes and imagine what I would do in similar circumstances. Probably just curl up in a ball and want to die myself, but if I ever came out of it, I would imagine that I would put whatever energy I had into exactly the same kind of efforts that she and her husband and other Sandy Hook families are now doing. It is indeed a "disservice" to these families to imply they are mere pr ...
