The Tea Party has decided to shut down the government to force the Democrats to agree to kill ObamaCare or put if off for a year.

They refuse to allow the rest of the government to be funded until their demands are met.

They won't let Boehner bring a clean budget resolution to the House for a vote.

...even while the Senate has voted several times on the House' budget and said "NO".


The Tea Party is clearly legislative terrorists, holding our nation's funding hostage because they hate ObamaCare more than they love America.

They need to either let Boehner bring a clean bill for a vote, or sit down and shut up.

Two can play this game.

They won't vote for a budget resolution funding everything else but Obamacare.

...even while the house has voted several times on the House' budget and said "YES".

ObamaCare is already the law of the land.

The House tried to repeal it 50 times.

They failed 50 times.


Maybe they should find a new hobby rather than sending hopeless bills to the Senate.



Now their new hobby is shutting down the govt. if the Senate doesn't give them what they want.

Will they do this next year with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, FEMA, the Department of Education, the Department of Commerce?



The shutdown will end as soon as the House finally votes on a clean bill, that ONLY funds the government.

The ACA is simply a law, and like any other law, it can be repealed or amended by Congress at any time. It's a law that the majority of the American people don't want, never wanted, and was passed by a partisan Congress using dubious tactics. But wait, because, once young healthy adults discover that they are either liable for a hefty tax if they do buy insurance, or a penalty if they don't (which means no tax returns for many) they will flee the Democratic Party like rats from a sinking ship.

For now, enjoy your time in the sun because your Party is headed for an iceberg and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
 
There will be no negotiating with terrorists.

Obama isn't Reagan.

You're counting on young people being stupid and selfish.

.

very poor reason. there was a time it was the law of the land that women could not vote. Guess that made it ok., There was a time where it was ok to have slaves. It was the law. Guess it was ok.

IMO, there are some good things in the ACA, there are some not so good things.

Now is it ok for what Congress and the President have done in having a shutdown. IMO, nope, there is a more reasonable ways to modify or remove a law.
Is it terrorism. No more than the Dem controlled Senate has not approved a budget in over four years beyond a CR.
Washington is broken.

Exactly what's happening to the Republican party. They've managed to alienate blacks, hispanics, gays and now they're working on women and, just for giggles, Muslims.
It's gonna take a major surgical operation for the Republican party to successfuly present themselves as representing a majority of Americans.

Me? no...expecting young people to be selfish and stupid is something that Democrats do. They are the ones that tell young people that healthcare is a right. Wait until they find out they're going to have to pay a hefty price for that right. They'll wake up to reality real quick because in order for the whole thing to work, you need a base of healthy people who pay more into it than draw from it.They are essential for the system to work properly, and they will be the ones that will be coerced and harassed by the State.

The biggest problem the Republican Party has is that they're alienating Conservatives, which has been going on for a very long time. The Republicans lost the 2012 election not because of what you cited above, but because of what I just cited. Anybody who speculates otherwise doesn't have a clue what they're talking about...

Sorry, I forgot the conservatives in my list. I guess the Republicans have alienated everyone except teabaggers.
 
I love the idiots who call republicans terrorists...they make me laugh.

stupid people make me kinda mad, but when they go full retard it gets pretty funny.

As stated by my other post on a similar Leftie rant as this one:

The delusional Lefties villify the Tea Party and other rational Americans who are forced to pay, and refuse to pay the TWENTY YEAR protege of the Black Racist Whackjob "Goddamn America" Wright, and who is also the Enabler of Islamofascist Swinish Muslim Bros, Obummerrhoid's, ObummerCare because this is FINANCIAL INSANITY !!!

It is FINANCIAL INSANITY because this 85% of the Total Population's Productive Members have to subsidize 13 million illegal aliens, i.e. criminals ....... with Health Insurance....... and paying Health Insurance under ObummerCare for an ADDITIONAL 10 million deadbeats and moochers who are his political core, i.e., the Occupy Wall Street human trash.

This idiotic ObummerCare misnamed Affordable Care Act is a HUGH LIE. Obummercare is NON-IMPLEMENTAL with all sorts of POLITICALLY DISCRIMINATING WAIVERS handed out to the corrupt supporters of the Ex -ACORN Community Organizing Charlatan. And even more to the point is the unavoidable COST-PREPOSTEROUS factor when one forces 85% of the Total Population, the productive members of our Nation, as stated above, to subsidize the 13 Million Illegal Aliens i.e., CRIMINALS and the additional 10% of our Nation's deadbeats and moochers, i.e., the Occupy Wall Street nutjobs who are the core of Obummerhoid's DEM party. These costs slapped on to the already high costs of existing Health Care costs.......paid by the 85% of the total population who are the Productive members of our Nation.

What causes the Obummercare to be even more egregious is that the idiotic ObummerCare forces the Small Businesses to either go bankrupt, or replace the work force with Part Time employees. Destroying the Small Businesses with ObummerCare is especially insane because Small Businesses employ ~75% of our Nation's work force.

Conclusion: it is NOT the Tea Party and other rational Americans forcing the Govt semi-shutdown. It is the recalcitrant Obummerrhoidal Lefties who want to bankrupt our country with FINANICIAL INSANITY aka Obummercare and these whackjobs would rather force America to spin into a FIINANCIAL INSANITY by keeping the IDIOTIC Obummercare and that not being enough ....... are shutting down our Govt as well.

Democrats are not forcing the Republicans to do anything. The AHC act is law, duly passed and will take effect until it is repealed by votes in the House and Senate and signed by the President. It is as simple as that. Don't like it? Move out of the country and good riddance. We are not going to give up 250 years of democracy for any extortion or blackmail from a tiny minority. We are better than that. Surely you haven't forgotten?

why don't you know this?


if you really believed in your " love it or leave it" bull****.. you'd have moved long ago.

Shows how much you know. The ACA is already funded by the law, that's why there is nothing they can do. Obamacare is FULLY funded even in the shutdown.
The Republicans are trying to force Obama to change the law and defund it. It's plain ordinary blackmail and it won't work a bit. We are better as a country than that.

it's fully funded huh?.. ok, show me the appropriations bill, budget, or CR that funds it.

the GOP is actually asking for a year delay..... something Obama had no problem giving to his business buddies but refuses to give the people.

it's not blackmail ( or any other evil thing you can concoct in your head).. blackmail is illegal.... everyone in congress is acting fully within the law and fully within their duties.

The debt ceiling is law. What is the point of a debt ceiling if you are going to raise it every time you reach it. Instead they need to stay under it by curtailing spending.

The debt ceiling will/must be raised no matter what. The full faith and credit of the US is at stake. That's why there will be no negotiations about it.
You don't take hostages you can't shoot.

About 150 years ago, they were saying this exact same thing about slavery. 50 years ago they were saying the same thing about segregation. This is getting to be a trend. Democrats screw things up with screwed up laws, and then the opposition has to come in and clean up after the mess.

Asking? Blackmailing or extorting would be a more accurate term. Laws can be repealed by votes in both Houses period, end of story.

Then that makes having a debt ceiling pointless and they should just get rid of it completely.
fyi It's there so congress can control the spending but it's not working if they keep raising it.

blackmail and extortion are illegal.... nobody, on either side of the aisle, is doing anything illegal.

once again, your rhetoric is factually incorrect .

do you ever tire of being wrong?

Traditionally the debt ceiling raise has been included in the budget. So that is where it might control spending.
But since the House now makes up it's own budget without even consulting the Senate, no budget will ever pass both Houses. So we need to raise it separately.
But you are right it is pointless to argue about raising it since not doing so would cause a world financial crisis and the end of the Republican party.
 
Careful or you'll be accused of "us vs. them". I won't name drop, but a conservative gave a compelling story about why his mind has changed on ACA because of losing a dear friend. I tried to tone it down today because of that but still got dumped on. I rolled out Sen. Coburn's plan for balancing the budget and was abruptly ignored.
