Shut 'er down!

[BIG YANK BAL 1976]

When the Gov shutdown in 13 it cost the country 24 Billion

The government has borrowed $18 trillion they can't pay back, maybe they need to shut down if that's what it takes to make the difficult decisions.

The DICK Cheyney is on record telling the whole World in 2005 DEFICITS DON'T MATTER, guess that's why he and the Drunk put 2 lost Wars on the credit card, LOL..

But first the House has to act, and with 31 Republicans vowing to oppose any resolution that funds the government but does not cut off Planned Parenthood, Boehner’s leadership team would have to rely on some Democratic support to pass the legislation.

If Boehner does that, can he survive?

Boehner and his allies prepare fall battle with conservative GOP critics

Yes. I don't think that is enough to unseat Speaker Boehner. What good would come from a shutdown over abortion. In a general election cycle at that. That means the narrative is all about abortion. That means more Donald Trump talking about women (actually a good thing since he so bad at it). Republicans lose when the election focuses on lady parts.
I did like the quote on this topic from Rep. Nunes: “This is a continuation of the strange virus that’s running through the Republican Party, which I define as a weird form of right-wing Marxism where people are using Saul Alinsky-type tactics.” The Saul Alinsky thing is kind of dumb but the rest is good.

Depends if he (Boehner) is willing slide on up to Minority Leader Pelosi and she will expect in return for her cooperation.

But we need to remember Boehner has been on very thin ice for a while now. He has had several votes blow up in his face. Also, his Speakership is based on a small majority. TeaHadists are not very happy St. John of Orange and if he does go to the Dems for support it could very well spell the end of his time in the Speaker's Chair.

"TeaHadists"...that's a pretty good one!...

you guys just HAVE to make up funny little names and disparaging labels for categorizing people that disagree with you... "racist"...."homophobe"..."tea bagger"..."xenophobe"...etc...etc....ad nauseum...

very amusing...and SOOOO mature, too!

Both sides do that. Tea bagger was pretty funny though because some Tea Partiers used that name to describe themselves before they realized what it meant.

they may have repeated the name because they didn't understand the homosexual connotations...but again..it didn't originate with the tea party..it originated with homosexuals and immature latent homosexuals using it as an attempt to denigrate political opponents by calling them names...

Not really.

The perversion was not started by homosexuals (nor is it a homosexual term in general) but rather by immature adolescents and popularized by first person shooting games.

Boners in deep do doo

he's be in even deeper do doo if he allows people to go without warnings from storms, national parks and allows our roads to fall apart. Far more people will be angry at this effin congress by a factor of at least 2. The majority of this country could care less about abortion and in fact most of that support it....

This isn't the time or place to be playing this card.

In some ways I agree with you, however not completely.
Abortion is a big issue with most, if not the actual act then the funding from taxpayer dollar is an issue.
with obamacare now, there is no reason to fund any clinic, PP or other, the women can now take their obamacare card and go anywhere for their care. Isn't that what we were told?
Considering that why don't they go ahead and leave PP out of the budget bill right now, shift an equal amount of funds over to discretionary spending then bring the PP bill up on its own merits and use that money put aside to fund it if it goes that way.
Why let a toxic issue like abortion funding kill the entire budget bill ?
Now, if a bill goes in front of obama that is complete and as balanced as possible but excludes funding for PP, and because of that obama vetoes the bill and the government shuts down. Who's fault is it? those that presented a complete bill, or the democrat president because he is acting like a child that didn't get his way.

Were you expecting a conservative to disagree? /eyeroll

Wow, name calling is best you can do?

Better than you deserve. AND you really are stupid.

Your words are empty and hollow.

You have no real argument.

Next lame attempt please.

Argument against what? Your moronic tantrum? Your outlandish lie that the shut down cost $50 billion? What would I argue against?

With lying ***** like you, all that is possible is to mock.

Again you engage in name calling.

Lacking a logical, cogent, well thought argument you name call.

Which being the Republican you is the in fact the best you can do. Republicans aren't big on original thought.

Please point to your logical argument ?

What argument ?

The GOP shut down the government.

The GOP got the senate.

What was the issue ?

It will be blamed on the right.

I am not entirely sure how the dems manage it but they always manage to shift the blame for something like that to the right no matter who is actually at fault for it.

"Boehner and his allies prepare fall battle with conservative GOP critics"

Completely unnecessary and ridiculous, Congressional republicans are utterly incompetent and incapable of sound, responsible governance.

What they should do is their jobs. They are charged with passing a budget. They should strip all funding for Planned parenthood from the budget they pass and forward it to Obama. They will have done their jobs. If Obama vetoes the budget passed by the peoples' representatives in Congress, then the shutdown will be on Obama's hands - not on the Congress.
