Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial[W:793:1010:1190]

Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

You need to work on your punctuation, the quotes go on the 10th word.

Even children know that.

Apparently English and Grammar aren't strong suits of yours, the punctuation is right on.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

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.
No laws were broken, however the House leadership changed the rules on Oct 1, let Rep. Chris Van Hollen explain it to you Con:

Get someone to help you with reading comprehension as well.
Go ahead and show where you reiterated that the Senate Dems are causing the shutdown in that post.

Naw, I will let you and the other partisans believe what you want. What I believe is what I see and what I see is a 17 trillion dollar debt that had the 2011 promises and commitments been kept we wouldn't be sitting here discussing a shutdown and potential default. I am fed up with the entire mess including all the liberals in this thread. I should say the hell with it, give you and your liberal ilk what you want, let the debt continue to grow, create that liberal utopia you believe exists. You people deserve what you are requesting but it is a shame that millions of good Americans don't. Obama submitted a 3.77 trillion dollar budget request and has done nothing to create more taxpayers so with results like that let's make him king for life?

In other words, when presented with video evidence of the House changing its rules ... flat denial of reality.

Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

You feel threatened by Ted Cruz? How so?

I let you know at the end of the week, depending on how much is shenanigans cost my investments. Hopefully he keeps my losses under 6 figures...... Wait, that's right, I moved everything to cash last month, so I guess I will be ok. Now, if I were a republican, I would only be worried about myself (who gives a damn about anyone else), and I would be ok, so I guess I would see Cruz as ok.... but I am not a Con(artist), so he isn't.

I saw a lot of video evidence of Democrats creating the healthcare bill behind closed doors shutting out the Republican. Guess that was different. Not exactly sure what your point is but quite frankly I have no problem with the Democrats shutting down the govt. because of their failure to negotiate. Shows exactly what is wrong with today's Democrat Party.

Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

you are right, I didn't nor do I care to, I refer you back to the 2011 debate and discussion which if Democrats had kept their word we wouldn't even be in this situation today and no rules would have to be changed. I quite frankly don't care if the govt. is shutdown and it is going to take some tough love to turn this country and economy around. Democrats promoting equal outcome isn't that tough love.

The video is proof, it was the Republicans responsible for the shutdown, not the Democrats.

But they didn't ... oh, to hell with it.

EDIT: If you use the term "Democrat Party," 100% chance you're wrong.

No, the original bill was submitted to the Senate for approval, it was rejected, that is what shutdown the govt, but quite frankly who gives a damn. You people love placing blame and ignoring results. We have a 17 trillion dollar debt and are about to exceed the debt ceiling raised in 2011 and you are worried about who is responsible for shutting down the govt? It should be shutdown permanently and send the Representatives home like some states do, part time legislators.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

Considering how hard the media lap dogs are pushing for it to be the Repubs fault, I am surprised it isnt higher. I guess if you over look the facts, overlook what Dems in power say, listen to the MSM, and only pay attention to things like Mrs. Cyrus, Dancing With the Stars and such...or are just retarded, I can see how you would think that.

What personnel laid off? There is no personnel at these monuments and there most certainly no personnel on an overlook miles away from Mt. Rushmore. There are no personnel in the private homes they evicted those elderly seniors from. There is no personnel at the private business they tried to close down. Do you still want to keep trying to defend this?

You still have a problem with the word "closed" and you are asking me to defend it? Find a dictionary or something. Here's a hint: When something is closed there is no one allowed in. The "squatters" on Federal land have another home to go to or they couldn't have a cabin. It's the law.
100's of 1,000's of people are not getting their paychecks and your beef is a few people got their vacations cut short. Tell Boehner to do his job and put the Senate bill up to a vote and pass a clean CR.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

It's incredibly annoying that some politicians are STILL trying to hijack grassroots movements for the sake of their failed IMAGES.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

It doesn't make a damn difference what the Republicans put in the bill, they did their job, they passed a spending bill that you claim put a poison pill in it for the Democrats. You see giving exemptions to campaign supporters is ok but requesting an exemption for the rest of America is wrong. No negotiations is what shutdown the govt. and that is entirely Harry Reid and Obama.

Then why not pass a resolution that Obama should just shoot himself and call that a serious proposal and demand a negotiation? Any demand to adjust the ACA as a condition of a CR, particularly a very short CR was a non-starter and not a deemed a credible proposal by anyone of reasonable intelligence. Come on, Con, just when I give your credit for being a serious thinker..... well, I know you are, you are just being disingenuous, which you are good at.
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

Did you even see it? Why don't you call them WW2 vets because that is what they were.

Did you see the cop push the vet with baton and how scared the cops were at the prospect of being pushed back??
 
Re: Vets take down barricades in Washington

By giving Palin any attention just boosts her ego, the dysfunction of the tea party is her and Cruz ticket to the extension of 15 minutes of fame!!! It is time for these nuts to go back to where they came... Thanks to faux Fox News they have made these people "TVOW". The voice of Washington..... I see another reality show in the making..
 
Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

Functions of government cease when it is shut down. Only an idiot would believe otherwise.

Actually you are incorrect. There are plenty of government people working. I just took an international flight through Houston and there were fed employees there.

Get out more.

Re: Cruz, Palin join protesters at WWII Memorial

When the money dries up priorities need to be set as to where the funding we have needs to go. Nobody ever died or went hungry because they couldn't park their car near Mt Rushmore.
Do you understand that there is a salmonella outbreak in California that needs to be investigated or that veterans claims are NOT being processed by the VA right now? Or that farms are going under right now because they can't get government help or loans?
America caught on to your party's WW2 memorial media grandstanding a while ago. The country is falling apart and you are carping about accessibility to parks?:lamo

Why are government resources being wasted by having their employees tell tourists they can't look at the scenery? Or that people can\t enter areas which have always been unguarded and open? They chose to harass the tourists and veterans rather than the salmonella outbreak it seems. Are you okay with that?

I used to think that, too...but, I've come to the conclusion that he's someone's puppet.

You may be right. Someone is entering the words on his teleprompter.
