Bohner has just abdicated his responsibility, can we impeach him first then obama?
Where do I sign?
I’m no fan of Boehner, but this idea that the House has the power of the purse is crap and by repeating it over and over it only adds to the popular ignorance and it even infects the usually well informed people that frequent FreeRepublic.
When you boil it down to its essence, the so called “power of the purse” reduces to “government shutdown” given the current makeup of the three branches of government.
And given the current political sentiments of the population “government shutdown” is something that democrats would relish.
So unless you have someone leading the “government shutdown” movement who can convince the majority of the people that it is the right thing to do and get them to strongly support it, doing it would be a loser’s game.
So GraceG, Vet, Alex, Graewoulf, lily if you were the speaker, how would you go about getting the MAJORITY of the people to love a government shutdown? Because that is what you’re expecting Boehner to do.
Damn good idea. How does one find a sponsor to get it going?
He thinks he was defeated in the “government shutdown” last year and won’t do it again no matter the degree of tyranny that is at steak.
The really sad part is, politically he may be right, With most of the population getting their news from people like John Steward, while living on welfare checks there is no more a possibility justice than there is honesty from those sources.
We have to take John Stwerd and other leftist media icons out of the limelight. Our own Message has to make it thou somehow or this country will simply go to hell with these people doing everything they can to cover up anything that suggest why.
