Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial
Out for the evening.
Out for the evening.
And Palin could have a photo op of handing a can of soup to a hungry person that someone gave to her to give to him.
Because the media says she is. You know how it works man.A very serious question would be WHY is Hillary a serious candidate.
I'm simply saying that it will be brought up again and Hillary won't be able to run from answering it. Especially when it's a one on one debate where her opponent has had the opportunity to study the incident and counter her "What does it really matter?!" crap she threw at the Congress. People don't watch CSPAN Congressional sessions. They watch those debates. And the people watching those debates will be able to see if she is truthful, dodging, etc. As far as banking my hopes, I think the Dems are in a much worse position than the GOP. The GOP can put forth at least 2 exciting candidates that will bring refreshing views to the table. Who do the Dems have? Hillary? She's a retread and most are tired of seeing her. Biden? LOL! Booker isn't running. Who else is there?Give it up dude. If there were anything there...it would have surfaced months ago. Do you really think that is what you can bank your hopes on.

And yet, I quoted what she said during her session in front of the Senate.....not verbatim mind you, but paraphrasing. If you trust what she says, so be it. I don't.You're right. People don't watch CSPAN. Clearly you did not.
Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial
Forget the politicians involved, this is political gain for them - the point of this posting is to commend the Veterans who are not sitting back and just taking it. They are standing up to the government because of how badly it is behaving.
This is NOT the country these men fought for, that country would never barricade statues, close down roads and evict people from private property because they were having a hissy fit. The country they fought for would not try to make anything as painful as they can on the American people just because they want to make a point - the point of you need government and without government you will suffer.
How does that very government reply to the protests...my sending out police in riot gear to quell the protests.

Didnt we see the same response from a government 20 or so years ago against protesters who were tired of its governments abuse of power... Tienanmen Square?

You and I don't agree very often NP. But I totally agree with you on this.We must never forget what Hillary said. She must never become our president.
The GOP has a lot of blame to go around for the mess we are in but not for the Govt. shutdown. Most people here don't have a clue how our govt. really works never taking a civics class. The GOP Did their job and the Senate refused to negotiate thus shutting down the govt.
Did you even see it? Why don't you call them WW2 vets because that is what they were.

As stated in the video, Bohner in a caucus meeting was promoting the tactic of shutdown.
PS...not going to defend the Collin's bill in your thread?
We don't negotiate with terrorists holding the credit of the US hostage.
And yet, I quoted what she said during her session in front of the Senate.....not verbatim mind you, but paraphrasing. If you trust what she says, so be it. I don't.
Wow....you accept that House members DID proclaim their intention to shut down the govt.......and then praise them for it.......and then.....in the same breath......you deny they are shutting down the govt!!!!You know, the GOP won the House big in 2010 and were sent to D.C. to stop the foolish spending and to stop Obamacare. They did exactly what they were supposed to do and were sent to do. If that means shutting down the govt, well guess what, good for them. Your party is a fiscal disaster. They didn't learn a damn thing from the 2011 debt ceiling debate for if they did we wouldn't be in this mess again but you want to focus on the House sent to shutdown the govt. The House didn't shutdown the govt, the Senate did and that isn't going to change no matter how many times you say it.
Repeating it ad nauseum does not make it true. Attempting to circumvent the law by defunding it is not the GOP "doing their job." And Boehner preventing a vote for a clean CR is not "doing their job." And changing the rules of the House to prevent anyone else from getting something to the floor is not "doing their job." The notion that the GOP is blameless in the shutdown is pure poppycock.
Really? You think a law was broken? You really need to take a civics class. The GOP did their job, they submitted a spending bill to the Senate which is their responsibility and the Senate rejected it and refused to negotiate. That shutdown the govt. The fact that you are nothing more than a partisan is quite evident as well.
Wow....you accept that House members DID proclaim their intention to shut down the govt.......and then praise them for it.......and then.....in the same breath......you deny they are shutting down the govt!!!!
Wow....forgetting what you just said and contradicting yourself......in one paragraph!
How do you do this?
When did I say a law was broken? And the bold is just sweet, sweet irony. The "I know you are but what am I" defense.
You need to work on your punctuation, the quotes go on the 10th word.Pretty childish calling American Representatives in the "Peoples' House" terrorists. You and your ilk need to grow up.
The House passed a bill they new wouldn't pass the Senate. How is that looking for negotiation?
So now you are backtracking on your claim that the Senate is causing the shutdown?I don't know if leadership did or not nor do I care because what they are doing is the right thing. We have a 17 trillion dollar debt. We had this debate in 2011 and supposedly solved the problem then, apparently not because we are back at it again.
I could be wrong, if I am I admit it, I didn't see House leadership making that statement, if they did I would agree with it because it seems that the way to negotiate with a Democrat is to give them what they want and the Republicans weren't sent to Congress to do that.
