Jim Inhofe: Blame Harry Reid For the Shutdown, Not Republicans

Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.homa) has an interesting idea on how he thinks young Americans should process the current government shutdown.

When asked by PolicyMic on Tuesday what he would say to young people who may be disillusioned with politics in the wake of the shutdown, and thus might think twice about entering public service, Sen. Inhofe answered, "I think if they — if they're not alert enough and aware enough to know that one person's really causing all this, maybe I don't want them to get into public service."

When asked who that '"one person'" person would be, Sen. Inhofe responded, "That'd be Harry Reid."

According to a new Quinnipiac poll, the Republican pParty currently has a 17% approval rating among those 18-29 years old. The current shutdown, which began at midnight Monday night, is not expected to end any time soon.

Harry Reid -———Nancy Pelosi-——& Barrack HUSSEIN Obama

With Steny Hoyer sniffing in the tracks.

The Original Boston Tea Party had the slogan: “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION !”

Back then in the 1700’s the Colonists did not like Tyranny, and eventually went to War to rid themselves of it.

Today, low-information people, and their “Mainstream” Media’s attitude is: “Tyranny? Is that like “bad” or something?”

High-information people realize that we have had Tyranny imposed on us by our own NINE SUPREMES when they told us that ANY Administration can force us to buy anything they want us to buy as long as it is called a MANDATORY TAX.

The Obama Administration then decreed that the IRS would gather our personal medical information, administer and collect this MANDATORY TAX from us, and or punish us as they saw fit: WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW.

A simple annual, or quarterly increase in the Insurance Premium is all that is needed to increase taxation by the Obama Administration that is not subject to the Constitutional “Advice and Consent” of the United States Congress.

To this point in time, the Obama Administration has been successful in depriving us of Representation in Congress while imposing a mandatory insurance tax on us.

The Obama Administration may call it “Forced Marketing,” but I call it TRYANY !

MANDATORY PURCHASE OF OBAMACARE MEDICAL INSURANCE IS “TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION !”

Exactly! I don't even want people like that fixing burgers and fries for me. Get a job on a honeydew truck.

Jim Inhofe: Blame Harry Reid For the Shutdown, Not Republicans

Hard to get the word out when 95% of the media is still campaigning for Obama.

Remember those quaint days when people said things like "a free press is the cornerstone of democracy"?

I think the best way to handle the tea party bashing is for our representatives to come out and introduce the deceived public to their tea party constituents. Show video of the march on DC. Let them see that the Democrats are threatened by little old ladies in their straw hats proudly waving their american flags. And the military veterans and the small business owners and the football and scouting moms and families. Let the people see the real slice of Americana which constitutes the tea party. Show the first hand that we are not the evil, dreaded monsters they make us out to be.

I’m sure, that like me, everyone has LIVs who read their facebook pages. So, I just continue posting things and even though they don’t comment - they do read. Just yesterday, someone who had been my friend for a number of years (we split over the last election) told me she is now leaning Republican. So, this is one way to educate them.

Reid and Obama are like the organizers of an illegal strike. Get back to work, slackers!

Jim Inhofe: Blame Harry Reid For the Shutdown, Not Republicans...geez - didn't Inhofe get the memo that Republicans are just supposed to sit back and let the 'rats have the airwaves to get their propaganda hate-speech out whenever they want - even Boehner just blew a great chance to push the 'pub message when he finally got out of the White House meeting - with press from probably all over the world waiting for over an hour to hear what had happened, Boehner stepped to the mics and gave about a one minute comment before slinking away - this was guaranteed air time that nobody could avoid - why not a ten minute diatribe about how the shutdown is the 'rats fault, they won't negotiate, the 'pubs are fighting for the same rights for all Americans as the big corporations and congress and the president have under Obamacare - and just to make sure he's heard, hit each point three times - it's heartbreaking to watch these people blow every opportunity they have.......
