B-Man Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle 12h If shutdown is such a disaster, why was @SenatorReid not working Sunday? Brad Dayspring @BDayspring Astounding: Pres Obama wanted to meet w/ Congressional Leaders to avoid shutdown, Harry Reid talked him out of it. http://politi.co/17gwKcB There will be no Continuing Resolution tonight. There will be a partial shutdown of non-essential services. All because Democrats refused to have Congress treated like ordinary citizens as to Obamacare exchange subsidies, and ordinary citizens like businesses on delay of the Obamacare mandate. Democrats “shut the government” to protect privilege, because their pride could not let them compromise. Earlier, Harry Reid and Barack Obama were clucking like roosters. Chuck Schumer took to the floor of the Senate looking like the cat that caught the canary. It might not end as well as they think. They wanted it, they got it. In fact, in their late night speeches, the sense of triumph was gone. The U.S. Senate is dysfunctional because of Harry Reid. No budget. No votes on most House legislation. No nothing except his way or the highway. We’re seeing it again in the Continuing Resolution and Debt Ceiling battles. Because Reid has shut down and shut out Republican voices, the only way to raise budget issues is using Continuing Resolution and Debt Ceiling deadlines — a necessity in Harry Reid’s Senate not the choice Republicans wanted. The poisoning of our politics by Reid did not start with the latest battles, it has been his methodology for years. "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 "Camp in a national park: All national parks -- from Yosemite to Shenandoah National Park -- will close, and day visitors will have to leave immediately. (But longer-term campers already in parks will have two days to leave.)" Anbody notice Google's doodle for today? October 1st? LoL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's 2AM on October the 1st with no budget or CR. Somehow the world has not imploded. In fact, I made what I thought would be a quick trip to Walmart an hour ago to pickup a birthday card. There were only 2 lines open and I was stuck behind a double cart checkout that came to several hundred dollars. Their EBT still worked and they had a bank stack of 20s to pay for whatever wasn't subsidized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only surmise that they were actually banking on people remembering this a year from now when the midterm elections roll around. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Chris Christy said it best: The President is SUPPOSED to be the leader, leaders lead--get both sides in a room, tell 'em you're the President, don't let them out 'til there is an agreement. Of course, POTUS is too busy playing partisan politics to lead...ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 sure, a gov't shutdown is a good thing . drudge must not think so since there's no mention of it actually happening on his site this am. what a scumbag shill he is. if this goes on for long and we see repercussions like a significant stock market drop, y'all will be singing a different tune about it's importance. and drudge will be forced to post it. and republicans will pay with voters. but keep pretending it's agood thing.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 What's a failure is responsible government not being able to balance a budget, and spending money we don't have like drunken sailors and prostituting our tax revenue to buy political power and votes from special interest groups and low information voters.

Tiberius Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's 2AM on October the 1st and Obamacare has arrived! Somehow the world has not imploded. Fixed that for you What's a failure is responsible government not being able to balance a budget, and spending money we don't have like drunken sailors and prostituting our tax revenue to buy political power and votes from special interest groups and low information voters.

Keukasmallies Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Because balanced budgets are stupid and not a realistic goal. Do you pay a mortgage? Well, yeah, actually I did pay a mortgage; paid it in full over a number of years. Get it, it's a lot like buying almost anything--ya' buys it and ya' pays for it. Probably a foreign concept to those who live in the " I want it, so give it to me" sector of 21st Century USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Fixed that for you Because balanced budgets are stupid and not a realistic goal. Do you pay a mortgage? Are you serious? You honestly think a balanced budget is stupid? Yes I have a mortgage, and I pay it. In fact we have a household budget that we follow to ensure we will be able to pay all of our bills. Unfortunately that means I can't buy anything I want just because I want it. The government should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
