O.S.I - Shutdown

[LaybackLenny]

And there you have it.

[ejdrapes]

I live in realville. The Dems control the Senate and the White House. The fact we're getting any cuts at all is a WIN. We need to keep our eye on the prize which is 2012. We win the Senate and the WH and keep the House then we'll be able to defund ObamaCare, PP, CPB, NEA, EPA, etc.

[Varsity Flight]

Politbureau-crats. Once again, all “The Exempt Ones”.

[kcvl]

Moochelle can now pack her bags for ANOTHER VACATION starting this weekend!

[Syntyr]

Your right. They should have started off asking for the 61billion in cuts. Then when the rats countered with 30 billion they should have said no and then proposed 70 billion. Then next time 100 billion. Until the rats finally figured out the pubs have grown a pair and agreed to the new terms.

If the government shuts down, does that mean the TSA, the EPA, and the FDA will all be rendered impotent?

There couldn’t be a better time to drill and manufacture refineries.

Not to mention, states asserting their own states rights.

[texatty]

They caved... I’ll be on the horn Monday... SOB’s!!!!!!!

[LdSentinal]

We need Tea Party people in the White House and in the Senate, not Republican RINOS.

[ejdrapes]

And now Obama is on TV announcing the deal. What a POS. He had NOTHING to do with this and is now taking credit for it.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I tend to agree with you, but our jobs as Freepers is to hold their feet to the fire, to get as much as they can from the Demoncrats.

[mewzilla]

The ruling class will regret what it’s done tonight...

[LADY J]

"SHUT IT DOWN!! But I Can totally see Boehner caving in, you can just see it in his nature, he’s a good guy but he has this wuss attitude"

Just heard on Fox that Boehner is very happy with the deal. He said it's the best deal he could get.

I say he's full of it & needs to be replaced by someone with some guts!!

[Gilbo_3]

what channel is Dick Clark and the ball drop ???

[Happy Rain]

So Reid and Obama would stick to their wicked principles if faced with certain defeat at the hands of a strong conservative?
Reckon we have to agree to disagree FRiend.

[kcvl]

He had to wait for someone to write that speech before he could turn on the teleprompter to read it!

[Errant]

Politbureau-crats.

They will not be able to stop this train wreck though.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

‘If the government shuts down, does that mean the TSA, the EPA, and the FDA will all be rendered impotent?’

No laws or regulations would change. In any case there is a deal now.

[acapesket]

I am freaking sick! These RNC bastards ever call me again ... I am gonna rip somebody’s throat out through the phone!

[Happy Rain]

The Searchlight Sophist of the Senate now speaks!
