Re: Government Shutdown
That's true with Rove and his cronies but not guys
like Ryan who have a plan to cut the debt. They care
about the country and are trying to save it.
I voted Libertarian because I didn't like either party and
Romney was another liberal put up by Rove like Mc Cain.
Conservatives haven't been voting in the party which is
how OBY won the last two elections. Had just 15% of
Christian conservatives voted, he would have lost both
elections.
MOst Christian conservatives don't like the GOP now
and don't vote.
Here, Frank Graham, Billy's son, blasts them for
not voting blames them for O BUMMER CARE.
He's right. He wrote a cool book called REBEL WITH A
CAUSE about his hell raising days as a hard drinker as
a youth.

Re: Government Shutdown
In Texas, you're not forced into party affiliation to vote.
But if I were, I'd be damn happy I'm Libertarian right now.

Re: Government Shutdown
Me too.
In fact I read something recently talking about how the Republican Party isn't really a cohesive party anymore. It is now comprised of about 4 or 5 different groups of people that are kind of falling under the Republican umbrella if you well.
The Christian right, the tea party, and then moderate conservatives... I guess you could also consider some borderline libertarians like rand Paul in that group as well.

Re: Government Shutdown
They are, in a general "how did it get to this" kind of way, but that doesn't help try to fairly assign "blame" for the shutdown.
It also will not result in an overwhelming number of incumbents being ousted (like one would logically conclude from the numbers), indicating that the vast majority of the public is not really serious about politics.
That said, obviously both sides need a lot to be desired overall, but some of these fights are actually serious business (though not all of them).

Re: Government Shutdown
CNN reporting that there are enough votes in the house to end the shutdown , but Boehner wants to have discussions with Obama first...and of course, Obama has said no.
I don't really get that.
If the House is ready to end the shutdown and figure things out , why wouldn't everyone be on board with that?

Re: Government Shutdown
More evidence of the administration's despicable behavior:

Utterly disgusting. Of course the MSM will cover their ears and hum rather than expose this abuse of power.

Re: Government Shutdown
CNN has no idea how many votes their are, none. They are basing their conclusion on the assumption every Democrat would vote for a "clean" CR (which isn't actually a given) combined with a certain number of Republicans who have made statements that hint that they are open to the idea (which are not even close to the same as delivering an actual vote, in fact, these days such statements are a way for politicians to have it both ways).
This is a Democratic party meme, and CNN and other MSM lemmings are simply spreading it.
That said, Republicans absolutely are closer to caving. They are more fractured, held together by the flimsiest of circumstances, and they are fighting each other for future power within the party.
The way this should end, is that Democrats agree to a popular-with-the-people concession, like removing the medical device tax or even allowing the Keystone pipeline, the Republicans accept the miniscule cost-free gesture, and both sides declare victory (the Republicans' declaration being the laughable one, of course).

Re: Government Shutdown
Of course OBY doesn't want to talk to them.
He's partisan and has gotten his way on almost
every issue except his budget where even his own
Senate didn't vote for it.
