Obama loves this shutdown. The repubs have no exit strategy and can no longer even articulate why they are doing it. Obama was never, ever going to back down on Obamcare. Now he’s got the media and the bully pulpit to pound the GOP into submission. Pickets Charge from the get go.

I am all for this strategy....

Time to make EVERYONE feel some pain...

If it creates anarchy, all the better. Quicker we get to the bottom, the quicker we can start rebuilding.

Burn this whole thing down..

First American president who is actually anti-American. Do anything to destroy the American ideal. Five hundred years from now Obama will be held in vile hatefulness .... like Caligula of Rome.

no, the repubs in the House will just keep sending over spending bills to fund certain areas. Just like it was before 0bama’s America killing strategy of no budgets and omnibills so big that nobody knows what’s in them.

LOL I think it would be funny for the house to send a 2700 page bill that they say will work for Barry - give him 20 minutes to read it under debt ceiling time pressure. Then we see when we read it that for one thing, 0bamacare is repealed in some random place in the bill. lol

Jonah is a surrender monkey. It’s precisely the perfect strategy because the ‘Rats never expected it. The element of surprise stupid.

Freedom isn’t an exit strategy. Surrender monkeys never win.

Obama is like FDR will the goal of “unconditional surrender.” The difference is that Obama hates the Republicans more than FDR hated the Nazis.

His speech yesterday was characterized with statements from pundits like, “he is in campaign mode.” They commented how happy he seemed to be, laughing, joking and using an accent like a punk rapper. In the few clips I saw, he is, was and always will be a community organizer, an agitator, not a leader. The reason why Ted Cruz did what he did is because he is a leader. He is leading the country to the truth about the progressives and their lies.

In retrospect Nixon was shafted and an angel compered to Obastard the Red.

I’m not enamored with the RINO epithet, I simply identify Goldberg and Ingraham as “wrong.” Whether or not the shut-down terminates ACA, it is the right thing to fight over. Somewhere there has to be a hill you die on. I think this is that hill. If nothing else, a spirited and ruthless contest strikes fear into the hearts of your enemies (and yes, the Democraps are enemies of America). think how well such a strategy has worked on the GOPe. they know that the Dems will come after them relentlessly and take no prisoners. Hence, the GOPe cowers like the Quislings they are.

This “picking your fight” rhetoric and strategy is the posture of losers. Which the Rebuttlikins are. What ever happened to Churchill’s “Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.”

Conservatives cannot get their message to the general public...

I said it here before, the republicans are having their message nationalized by the MSM. The Dems and MSM are filling the air with lies, but the real story is leaking out. At this point the House needs to stand their ground.

“In the 17 previous government shutdowns since 1977, presidents have worked to avoid them or lessen their impact. Obama has made no such effort out of an ideological yearning to punish his enemies, regardless of the collateral damage.”

Small man of great evil.

“Five hundred years from now Obama will be held in vile hatefulness . . .”

Ophonybama is held in vile hatefulness RIGHT NOW!

I would like to call Ophonybama out for what he really is, but I don’t want to be exiled FRom FReeRepublic for cursing, so I won’t actually print my thoughts.

But you all can guess what I want to say!

Oh, how I hope and pray the American peoples will come to support Ophonybama’s IMPEACHMENT, CONVICTION AND INCARCERATION FOR LIFE!

And, while we are at it, his LIEberal posse as well!

I disagree. You don’t pick hills to die on. You fight to win.
Picking a hill to die on could mean handing over House to Nancy Pelosi.

Set it up as a secondary headline to EVERY story about Obama, and number them serially.

The guy is off-the-hook full of hate of America, and he fully intends to drive us down into the dirt, then drown us in the mud.
