What shall we name the replacement party?
Bonehead needs to be replaced right now.
We no longer need a “weeper of the House”, we need a real man that has the gonads to stand up for what is right for the country and won’t cave in. Boner might as well just go switch parties and get it over with. Pelousi is actually running the House anyway.
There. Fixed it.
Boehner is a disgrace and should resign immediately. Had the democrats constructed a plan or scenario for how this whole episode unfolded, it would have been identical to what actually happened - all courtesy the genius of Boehner.
We got NOTHING but failure and Boehner should be held accountable and accept responsibility. In a bygone era where honor still counted for something he would already be gone. Now its all about re-writing history in the interest of self-preservation - to our detriment.
This e-mail was sent to me by a friend....I really don’t know what to make of it....
Did anyone besides me wonder how they got all those signs printed and distributed far and wide, including to all the national parks and cemeteries overseas only eight to ten hours after the government shut down? Take a look at this from someone who wanted to remain anonymous.
I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours.
In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-“this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.
This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.
Maybe the House Republican leadership read ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand and decided to take the advice of the author?
After all, it appears to be inevitable that in the not to distant future the USA will default on it debts and go into hyperinflation that will wreck what’s left of the economy.
Of course, the urban mob will go absolutely ape when the welfare stops, and civil war will rule the land for years to come as the federal government collapses.
What then?
Perhaps the rise of the Free Republic...
“If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?”
I…don’t know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?”
To shrug.”
So Republicans wasted a unique opportunity, had Obama and Reid in their sights, and came out with nothing at all.
The house sends the senate a CR with no money for obamacare. The senate sends it back. The house sends the senate a CR making congress have to join the system. The senate sends it back. This goes back and forth several times. Then the senate sends one back to the house that gives a few billion dollars to McConnell’s districk and a $174,000 payment to a dead senator’s wife and the house approves it. But the house never mentioned to extra spending. They could have voted this down and been praised by everyone. Why didn’t they just cave on the original CR?
There are 40 or 50 people there who are for America. Ignore the rest or run someone against them.
