Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert got into a tense back-and-forth Saturday with Fox New’s Arthel Neville over who is to blame for the partial government shut down and the frightening possibility of a debt-ceiling breach.
The Republican Congressman insisted that President Barack Obama and his Democrat allies in the U.S. Senate are responsible for the current mess in the nation’s capital.

The Fox News anchor wasn’t satisfied with Rep. Gohmert’s analysis.
“You’re not saying that either, Congressman?” Neville said. “Let’s have some honest talk here.”
The Congressman repeated that it’s the Democrats, especially Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who have been dishonest negotiators throughout the entire shutdown ordeal.
“Harry Reid saying that there’s a bunch of firebrands and radicals in the House?” he said. “That’s not the case. We are together, but the hijacking has been the U.S. Senate by left-wing radicals who want to keep spending grandchildren’s money.”
Neville tried to move the conversation forward.
“I appreciate your passion,” she said. “And of course we’re not suggesting — everybody has great suggestions. We have to mix and match.”
“No, you’re wrong there, you’re wrong there!” the Congressman interrupted. “Tell me what the president has suggested. Tell me what Harry Reid has suggested. They have not made one good suggestion, not one, other than total capitulation.”
“Any way out of this, sir?” she asked.
“Yes!” Rep. Gohmert said. “Have them start compromising. We’ve compromised over and over. We got to the point where we said, ‘Okay, here’s the deal. Here’s our negotiators’ conferees. That’s what the law requires.’ Harry Reid would not even appoint conferees as the law requires.”

Stop watching TV. It will definitely improve your life. I still have one but only to monitor DVDs and videos. In 2009, when they went digital, and we had to get those boxes, I thought it would be a good time. I certainly wasn’t going to get one at government expense. Now I only watch in other people’s homes, the hospital, bars and restaurants occasionally(they usually have sports or Spanish language news on anyway) or motel rooms when I travel, which is seldom. The last time I watched Hannity, in fact, was in a motel room, and I wasn’t too impressed. Cable companies are jerks to do business with. If you love a certain TV show, it will come out on DVD sooner or later.
I listened to Larry Cudlow last night and he spent 3 hours launching on certain people. He didnt mention Ted Cruz by name, but it’s obvious who meant. Steve Lonegan came on and very diplomatically let Cudlow know he didnt agree with him when the subject came up.
Michael Medved has been hitting hard at Ted Cruz and company on his radio show every day.
If Louie does not replace cornwallace then Texas needs an enema! That man is a PATRIOT!

Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert got into a tense back-and-forth Saturday with Fox New’s Arthel Neville... The Congressman repeated that it’s the Democrats, especially Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who have been dishonest negotiators throughout the entire shutdown ordeal... "We are together, but the hijacking has been the U.S. Senate by left-wing radicals who want to keep spending grandchildren’s money... Tell me what the president has suggested. Tell me what Harry Reid has suggested. They have not made one good suggestion, not one, other than total capitulation... We’ve compromised over and over. We got to the point where we said, 'Okay, here's the deal. Here's our negotiators' conferees. That's what the law requires.' Harry Reid would not even appoint conferees as the law requires."Reid's lawbreaking needs to be punished as soon as Pubbies have a majority in the Senate, if not before. He should be expelled, then tried, then thrown in prison.
