I find it interesting that this article forms the idea that any retreat must come from the house. There is no mention of the possibility that the senate could retreat as well.

This is typical of everything I read on the matter. The Democrats are all ready flooding the media with "Its their fault, if there were just more of us the problems would all go away." talk and the shutdown has not yet even occurred.

Meanwhile both the tea party republicans and the moderate republicans have done nothing to let people know its the democrats fault we have this bill we cannot fund. It the presidents bill that has no funding. The fault lies with decisions and laws that were passed years ago with the intent of crippling the nation under debt to force us towards a single payer system.

Why is it the liberals are prepared to use every opportunity to there advantage and we are not?

    The governing via artificially-induced crisis is getting old. I remember when they pulled this crap back in 1994. I believe the next time it was done was in the late 1990's ~ '98 or '99? In the 2000's, I think it was done twice thus far.

    These SOB's need to get the (fill in your choice word here) out of government & have the adults step up & assume real leadership & responsibility. I don't believe anyone here in the Gulch honestly believes this is the last time the morons on crapitol hill will induce another gov't shutdown to achieve political objectives.

    Let's ensure these clowns gets theirs in 2014 and vote them out.

      Agreed,

      It must be within realistic possibilities. We are not going to get a libertarian candidate to win in most areas, but we can get some Tea Party Republicans in. In an area with enough Libertarian support to run with a real chance of winning do it, but otherwise our libertarian candidates need to run on the republican ticket.


      We have to ensure that we show up so we do not loose to senators that have a less than 50% approval (Harry Reed) before, during and after the election. Why did he win? look at the nut job they ran against Harry Reid. Republicans had to look long and hard to find a candidate that would loose that one, but they found one.

      We must continue the push to turn the republican party around, and then force the "Moderates" democrats in republican outfits out of the party.

    My brother actually had this to say:

    "The Tea Party terrorists are going to damage our economy and our global credibility worse than Al Qaida did."

    For some reason, I'm still trying to have a rational debate with him. Ugh.

      I fully understand I have a sister that makes this statement to me to end nearly any debate.

      "There is no right or wrong, just differences of opinion."

      When they believe stuff like that, how do you have a reasoned discussion on anything.

    I noted yesterday that O said that a faction of the GOP in the house can't stop his plan, or something to that effect… implying that they don’t have the right to do so… Well, to that I would like to say, Mr. President, Yes they do. It is their duty to represent their constituency and the power of the purse is reserved to that body. Perhaps our Constitutional scholar should read the document once…

      He KNOWS the Constitution... lucky for him the people who lab up his constant bold faced lies DON'T know the Constitution (or CARE either) so it works in his favor. He talks them to death...all the while pinning blame on someone else. They buy it hook, line, and hoodwinker.

        If he knows the Constitution, why does he continue to illegally occupy the White House? Article 2, section 1, clause 5.

          Because he is a liar who is getting away with lying...he knew he'd get away with it, this country's state of mind (or lack there of) is prime for a dictator to enter, people no longer recognize evil when it's out in the open. He's not hiding it and he is purposeful in his dismantling of the Constitution. And they think he's great. That's why.

            Not only do they think he is great, but he is doing exactly what they think they want him to do. dismantling the constitution so that he can get things done.

              I'm not so sure most of his voters are even familiar with the Constitution. They just want what the want and don't understand anything but that. The dems on his team however, yes, I believe that is true. The Supreme Court ruling for example....

                You may be right about the 'useful idiots' and I agree. I was referring to those who think they to will establish some form of power and wealth from the dismantling of the constitution. Be it from a welfare check for the individual or for business or a backroom deal between the federal government and the union, or the federal government and the Muslim Brotherhood.

                After all a free grain of rice is still free, isn't it?
