Democrats..Can't Negotiate

[Spoonman]

Ideologues don't negotiate at the cusp of fundamental transformation

funny how presidents past who were serious about ending the deadlock when the government shut down did so by negotiating. Reagan, Clinton, were faced with the same obstacles from opposing parties. the did the sensible thing, negotiated. not be a hard line asshole and say **** you

Agreed: they cared about their country.

They've learned a few lessons over the last few years; especially since the summer of '11.

you truly are an idiot .

the Republicans did NOT shut down the Gvmt. it was your beloved presidunce and his minions/puppets

as for health care it is NOT the Gvmt's. job to provide health care to anyone beyond the established Medicare rules......., which BTW was intended for the elderly.., read this:
Our Documents - Transcript of Social Security Act Amendments (1965)

do you agree with prisoners getting medicare ??

under your beloved Obozocare rules, they get it

Yes, they did shut down the government. They planned it months ago:

A Federal Budget Crisis Months in the PLANNING

I see your source is the NY Times. They have zero credibility, even they admitted they have a liberal bias:

THE PUBLIC EDITOR - Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper? - NYTimes.com

So anything coming from your link will have the bias they admitted to having, your source is worthless.


It is Democrats who have shut down government. Republicans spent a weekend coming up with proposals while Democrats took the weekend off and said they'd be back Monday at 1400, and of course Obama was playing golf. Republicans have sent several individual bills like funding the National Institutes of Health to continue funding cancer research for children, as well as other bills. But Democrats being the party of no compromise have rejected every bill. Democrats idea of compromise is they get everything, Republicans and America get nothing. And Obama has repeatedly said he won't negotiate. It's obvious Democrats are shutting down the government. All past presidents negotiated.

There was a leader known as Joseph Stalin who wouldn't negotiate with the Ukranians, and the Ukranians suffered tragically. Amazing the similarities between Obama, today's Democrats and the Stalin regime.

If it was the Democrats that shut the government down then why would these folk say this about the shutdown?

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

or

“It’s wonderful,” said Rep. John Abney Culberson (R-Tex.), clapping his hands to emphasize the point. “We’re 100 percent united!”

Do you really think Obama/Democrat leadership can negotiate?

They've proven themselves rather inept to date.
I suggest that's what's caused the current impasse...the hardliners (patriots) have been emboldened and think it's only a matter of time until Obama caves because that's what history has taught them.
Mind you, in the meantime they've achieved a result that has them in their happy place.

What if the discussion was about what's best for this country, those numskulls in Washington, got us in this present "imaginary pickle".

Perhaps it is best for the country to take this "Obamacare" on a reasoned fast track, pick only the good stuff.

btw...the economy sucks..Americans need industry and jobs...(now)

Cheers Lumpy, I'm not going to get drawn into a debate on Obamacare - down that path lies endless partisan historical revision and re-revision.
However, as I understand it, most economists agree that one of the best cures for a recession is investment in infrastructure - not only does it stimulate the local economy but it is a lasting investment into the future.
That being the case, the 'shutdown' and general austerity measures must be a negative on the economy.

I tend to think plenty of good jobs create a good economy.

moving on...

But idb,that kind of thing requires public expenditures and the current crop of GOPers don't seem to like that a whole lot.

But Erik, surely, if they do some research and talk to some experts the truth will become clear.

It's true, they really suck at it..

the democrats got crushed in the gun control battle. they misread america, they misread what the polls were telling them. they over promised what they would deliver and ended up delivering nothing. But even beyond that is where the real damage to them lies. They made americans aware that an all democratic controlled congress would lead to a drastic change in our constitutional rights. the alienated a significant number of their former supporters. Liberals and democrats own guns too. and many will not vote democrat after what they saw the democrats try to do to their rights. They galvanized a force against them. the pro gun crowd is now solidified and have extremely strong lobbies to back them up. the pro gun crowd is growing rapidly. 20,000,000 new requests for permits last year. this is not more gun nuts buying more guns. these are new gun owners.

the democrats realize they will make no gains in the house and will probably lose many seats in the senate in 2014. So what do they do? the yneed to try to turn the tide against the republicans and they are using the shut down to attempt to do that. but they are making anothe very critical misread of the american public again. american do not want a rapidly growing deficit to continue. it's already out of control. and the democrats are putting in place a massive entitlement program that will consume 1/6 the GDP and we can not afford. right now, many low level income americans think of it as free healthcare. and to many, the premiums will be or at least partially subsidized. but they will still have to pay to utilize it. and the disillusionment will set in. when americans see the deficit growing faster then projected because this program will cost far more then expected, they are going to demand less spending. The republicans can say, well we tried, but the democrats refused to listen.
