Oh Boy!
Om needing more study time on this one./
Gowdy’s got a point. Obama would love nothing more than to be able to blame another shutdown on the GOP … hoping to turn the tide back to the Dems in time for the 2016 election.
He said that we need to work on security first immigration/border bills.
The whole idea of a government slowdown being a catastrophe has been sole be the media. It is the democrat legislative debate equivalent of the race card.
Trey Gowdy FReepers lets hear how good he is.
He is a Chamber whore.
Actually he is right. Obama does give a rats ass. He would love to hang a government sht down on Republicans, which by the way would not solve any problem anyhow.
It is insanity to support those who hate us. I do not care if they call themselves Democrats or Republicans.
trey gowdy hate fest in 3 . . 2 . . 1 . .
It’s Obama’s best hope and like it or not the majority does not approve of government shutdowns or impeachments. Maybe Nixon should have held on.
It’s like they have no idea who votes for them and who doesn’t. Gowdy will GAIN votes by opposing Obama.
Ugh
Gowdy has got a BELLYFULL of DC “Water” and has gone “native”. Linda Gramnesy did the SAME THING(Must be a SC “Thing”).
I’m almost positive that Boner has come down hard on him or all of his committee appointments will be gone.
Me thinks Gowdy agrees with the ends but not the Regime’s means, albeit though Gowdy has an emphasis on securing the border twist. Does that throw Gowdy into the dust bin with those who failed the FR conservative litmus test?

Their definition of a “government shutdown” is to send home non-essential personnel.
Personally, I don’t see any need for non-essential personnel in the first place.
And so, to use their definition, I say shut down this government permanently.
The House was set up with the power of the purse on purpose.
If you give that up, you concede the only check and balance you have over the Executive branch.
First GOPer (voter?): "Hey! You're supposed to offer us a last cigarette!"
Second GOPer (Gowdy, et al?) (whispering): "Shh! Don't make trouble."

One wonders what it’s like to co-exist with Progressives who are he&&-bent on bringing revolution to the
United States. (They have to be some of the most obnoxious punks in the world, considering the obnoxiousness of the punks out here in the real world who support them.)
IMHO
