Obama Government Shutdown?

Anyone who claims that the Democrats caused or wanted this shutdown probably need to start paying attention:

“We’re very excited,” said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). “It’s exactly what we wanted, and we got it.”

“It’s wonderful,” said Rep. John Abney Culberson (R-Tex.), clapping his hands to emphasize the point. “We’re 100 percent united!”
 
If you really are upset, and I doubt it, then call yout senator and congress man. Get your family, friends and neighbors to do so.

Great advice. We called Senator Mike Lee's office and he told us it's either defund Obamacare or usher in socialism and betray God. So he's voting to bring on the apocalypse and have his Tea Party save us from eternal hellfire and brimstone, to hell with the livelihood of those involved and his sworn in constitutional duties as a senator.

His TP resolution was too strong for constituents to sway the vote. I'm sorry, I tried.

Nice story. Isn't the issue being held up in the House?

yeah, of course Obama would do this... he's a southsider!

The failure of Congress to pass a spending bill has ground non-essential government agencies to a halt. As a result, the Chicago Cubs have announced they will be forced to cancel each and every playoff game they were scheduled to play during the postseason.

A Cubs spokesperson released a statement to the media, stating, “We were all thrilled for an opportunity to participate in this year’s playoffs, but unfortunately the situation in Washington has our hands tied, and we will be forced to prematurely begin our off-season. We felt very confident about our chances to take home the World Series this year, but this government shutdown, and this government shutdown alone, is responsible for us having to wait until next year to win it all.”

I don't think you have to be from Chicago to understand the impact of this!
 
Reports are that no headway at all was made at the white house dinner between dems and repubs. Looks like this will drag into at least next week. Then we start approaching the debt ceiling deadline of 10/17.

Federal workers, dependents and programs are being offered up to score cheap political points. Absolutely disgusting. ****ing ********.

Makes me wonder, how many paychecks will congress and the pres lose in all this, or are they getting paid anyway?

Please, they get paid in full in time. Some are forgoing checks or donating it to charity until this is resolved. Or at least that's what they say but to me their word is worthless.
 
Locally, reps. Matheson and Chaffetz have said that they will not accept their paychecks and will donate them to charity or something.

Anarchist Mike Lee however, has stated that he will continue to accept his checks.
 
I love how if someone shares even one view different than a "dem" or a "repub" they are instantly lumped in with the rest and not given the consideration of a retarded llama. He's just a repub, his opinion doesn't matter. It is amazing he doesn't drool on himself all day.

Frankly rev I didn't think you were that much of a hard-core party-liner. Guess I was wrong.
Hey, I resemble that remark. And I'll have you know that I only drool on myself part of the day. Jerk.
