My point exactly. The republicans will not send a continuing resolution that will be vetoed for fear of being blamed for the government shutdown. Just like caving on the paryoll tax, the spineless leadership just won’t stand firm. Truth is they don’t won’t to defund anything.

Fact is, even the Senate should put away their partisan attitudes and side with the House on this one -- allowing Obama to get away with this for a short-term political gain sets a really, really bad precedent even the Senate Dems don't want to be on the bad side of.Except for the Pelosi/Frank/Lautenberg/Reid/Boxer/Jackson-Lee/Waters crowd, the Democrats may be the unexpected ally to put Obama down. No one wants to lose their power, and Obama is directly challenging the entire Congress and Senate.

And what is the collected wisdom of the five midgets (Romney, Santorum, Perry, Huntsman and Paul). Any responses to the communist at all, or just quiet acceptance? If anyone here supports any of the five, what does your candidate have to say????????

Got this message from Congressman John Fleming (FB friend):
“For those who were wondering....My staff looked up the question, “why can’t Congress defund the ‘Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’ to which Obama recess appointed its head even though there is no Senate recess.” By Democrat design and as enacted into law through the Dodd-Frank legislation, the CFPB is funded directly through the Federal Reserve rather than through the annual appropriations process, leaving Congress without any means to decreasing or eliminating funding for the Bureau.”

Gingrich said he would fire the head of the Fed Reserve. Newt is referring to the National Labor Board. As for consumer protection and Dodd-Frank...congress should move to repeal it. There are always loopholes

“...Doesnt the budget have to be signed by the POTUS...”
“...Yes budgets do have to be signed by the president...”
-
Not exactly.
A bill can become law without his signature.
The president’s only choice is to veto or not veto.
Would the media claim “the president shut down the government”?
Or would they still blame the evil republicans?
Article I Section 7:
“If any bill shall not be returned by the President
within ten days after it shall have been presented to him,
the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it...”

No one wants to lose their power, and Obama is directly challenging the entire Congress and Senate. Indeed, the whole systems of checks and balances assumes that no branch will be willing to let the other branches step on their toes. Pretty good judges of human nature, the Founders were.

This is why we need to elect Newt Gingrich President. He knows what he’s doing and and he knows how to get things done. I am beyond annoyed that he has now allowed himself to get down in the polls because he suddenly got religion and won’t run negative ads. Its going to be a real problem. He needs to shine in that debate tomorrow night and on Sunday morning on Meet The Press.

Seems then that the Supreme Court should be brought into this as that legislation seems unconstitutional.

...technically u are correct but I bet if these guys aren’t paid, they want show up for work.....just saying...!
To: swampfox101
Oh...no doubts about that...I never said work would get done. The point I was trying to make was that we need to eliminate this kind of government abuse, not just defund it and keep the body around to bring back to life at a later time.
To: katiedidit1
Lets see if congress takes his advice. Perhaps we'll find out if we actually have two parties of different political views or if they are the same , just with different names to fool the public.
