I'm pretty comfortable thinking Gowdy's a good guy, just wrong in this case.

Everybody wants to switch to instant hate the minute somebody has a different opinion about something.

Before anyone gets their shorts in a wad, let's just remember that it is entirely possible for people in full agreement on objectives to be at odds on the tactics and methods to achieve those objectives.

It's a tendency we rightfully criticize in the left but fail to notice too often among ourselves, that disagreement on methodology somehow implies disagreement on ideas.

Hey, Gowdy: The voters gave you a goddamn mandate less than a month ago. Have you forgotten already?

[arthurus]

They all work for the Sultan All of them.

You guys need to tune in Rush and get the straight skinny on the non shutdown shutdown.

Barrak Obama for king! Woo! Woo!

[exit82]

So what if the government shuts down?

We can stop Obama by being afraid of our own shadow.

Besides, we have to tell the American people and frame it that Obama shut the government down.

And no, we are not waiting another 25.5 months to shut Obama down.

He is setting the terms and he is only the freaking President, not an Emperor.

Way to go Karl Rove.

Might want to look at this FR thread.

OMG people(Republicans), what is it with this false premise of “Government Shutdown”. Why do we always do this to ourselves?
We let the media and the Democrats set the table and the template and we jump on that battelefield. Are we just to allow the President to walk all over the Constitution and rewrite laws because we are “scared” of a shutdown. SIGH. Cmon freepers, we are not GOPe people, we are the resistance.

I would suggest that the critical decision Republicans should be making, is who they can trust to explain their case--so far as anything dramatic--in a way that will break through the ongoing media censorship of anything for which the Obamanists have no effective answer.

The Republican leadership has too many nervous Nellies, who simply do not understand the effective communicative skills that brought Reagan to the Presidency.

How it looks in the polls should in no way deter Trey from taking the proper action.

Com’on Trey, you know better.

[tumblindice]

Immigration? He was tasked by Speaker Bonehead back in May with investigating the Benghazi pooch-screw. And it's almost 2015. Focus, ah say, ah say what we gots here may be a failyah to communicate ... Boy, you gamecock, yeah you-- has you been bit by some sorta Beltway tse tse fly? Ah say, look at me when ah'm talkin' to ya boy.

[Pelham]

I wish it weren’t so but Trey Gowdy has been for amnesty all along.

He sounds great when he is grilling Obama’s crooked comrades, but he’s never been for enforcing the law and deporting illegals out of the country.

On this tread about the ACA, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3226007/posts . I had the following to say about Trey:

I like Trey, but I'm a bit disappointed by his comments. Notice he never mentioned repealing the law, he only said we have to be careful that something like this does not happen again.

WHAT!?!?!? .

Prohibition, an amendment to our Constitution, was repealed, and the best Goudy can do is say that we can't let this happen again. .

The fix is in...it's gonna be a very tough road to get Obamacare repealed, and I'm sorry to say that it's because we don't enough Republicans that want to repeal it. .

This is the second Obama Signature issue that Trey Gowdy is very angry about, but that he is not willing to do anything about. I like Trey, but my doubts about him are growing.

Ping!

Want on or off this ping list of 50+ (and growing) FReepers? Just drop me a FReep mail.

[jwalsh07]

Yeah because the election following the last shutdown simply decimated republicans.

[Dagnabitt]

Amnesty Pimp Gowdy's "Aw shucks country lawyer" act is beyond stale.

[Mamzelle]

Been telling you that our South Carolina congressman have been sucking at the Chamber’s t*t...

[Candor7]

Homeland Security will be shut down in February or March. Whats the rush?
