As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the Republicans DID compromise to avoid a shutdown. They were going to keep the government open, but asked that Obamacare be delayed. Yes, even Planned Parenthood would get their annual funding from the government. Senate Democrats under Harry Reid said no. …

Given how the president’s approval rating has sunk to historic lows, this shutdown gives Obama a way to re-energize his stalled legislative agenda. He wasted the most precious moments of his second term on a gun control push that was never going to pass, and he was stuck in neutral until the shutdown. …

Nevertheless, the House GOP, along with the Democrats, voted to reopen the government – and Obama said no.

Remember the “chicken little sky is falling” sequester cuts? They are the best thing when it comes to cutting the budget with this administration. We won that battle and the House needs to pound that home. Tell the public that they live on a budget, and remind them the government has not passed one in four years. Rinse and repeat, the “Peoples House” needs to be heard!

Mark Levin said 0 is going to default on the debt to take the control of money away from Congress and let POTUS set the debt limit.
As of now, the Constitution does not allow a debt default to happen but the Kenyan will twist the law with the help of the MSM and say he has to protect the country from the Tea Party by taking control of our money.

That’s why he is refusing to accept any solution. He wants the crisis.

Did they vote to reopen it yesterday? Did they vote to open it today? The government has been closed 16 days? They should have voted every single day to reopen it. The whole house should come out on the steps of the capitol every day and say that the government could open right now if Obama would allow it. The house was OK with messaging for the first few days, but have bungled it. Now it is all but lost.

The Government needs to stay shut down, and the Republicans should come out today ethusiatically for default. It’s our only way out of this mess. Otherwise, the expected surrender later today will be end of of the line for America as we know it. Moloch owns the government now and it’s turning into a weapon against the people. Looks like all those years of child sacrifice are being repaid as Obama and the media are unstoppable with thier army of slow-moving urban zombies to control the vote. Can Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, the “Winchester brothers of the Senate”, slay Obama’s god and lock him away for 1,000 years, leaving Obama and his media exposed to sunlight for a good santization? Its 36 months until the next presidential election and I think we are in for a heck of a ride.

It was the White House and Senate controlled by democrats that refused to reducer the spending.

Half the government spending is corrupt or unconstitutional in one way or another.

Here is how to cut spending:

1. Send all the government employees and politicians into the parking lots across America.

2. As we need each one, call him/her back.

3. After day three fire those not called back.
