So... The Government is Shut Down...

Obama wants military benefits issue fixed "today," spokesman says - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/09/politics/shutdown-military-families-benefits/index.html?hpt=hp_t1)

repulsive. Republicans should be ashamed. Stop holding up the vote.

No one is holding up the vote.

No one is holding up the vote.

Seems like your chosing Party over Country. Interesting.

Because thats what it is, these politicians dont really care about their own people or this country, they putting party in front of their country. So screw my neighbor and my community, Im upset our party has lost multiple times at the polls, so we are going to do everything possible to shut down the government.

Get over it, you lost again! The people voted and the majority chose affordable health care.

I may not like it, you may not like it, but you cant try to change the will of the people. It doesnt work like that, and the Party will end up hurting itself even more.

No one is holding up the vote.


All facts to the contrary .

House Speaker John Boehner insisted on Sunday that there aren’t enough votes in the chamber to pass a “clean” bill to reopen the government or raise the debt ceiling unless Democrats make some concessions to Republicans.
“There are not votes in the House to pass a clean [funding measure].” Boehner said on ABC’s This Week. “We are not going to pass a clean debt limit … The votes are not in the House … We are not going down that path.”


.......then let them vote and see

Even McCain knows it's his own party's fault. More specifically, he's calling out the Tea Tards.

How is it that Obama and the Democrats are at fault again if they had a deal in place months ago and Boehner and his cronies reneged on it?

This guy has done more for our country than our Congress has.

The Post reports that U.S. Park Police told him to stop mowing the lawn.


Why am I not surprised at this bullshit. Really? Asking the guy to help stop maintaining our historical monuments?

No guys. The President is refusing to talk to us, which is why he sent a invitation to all Republicans to the white house to talk. Oh, this invitation was declined by a huge majority. I guess that rules out that talking point from the GOP.
