Oh FRiends, perhaps I might ask for a little FReeping? If you post on SFGATE please add a plus for me in the above referenced blog comments or perhaps even more reasoned engagement of the dowdy Belasauris. Perhaps if we eloquently share our point of view the Author of the original blog post at SFgate will realize her readers are not all one-sided DemoTards and possibly bring some better meat to the table...? I'm trying to do my bit this week to spread the meme rebuttal to Democrat talking points, but I seem to run into a lot of sock puppets.

It's possible this blog URL already exists as an FR post, if so o kind Admin Mods please consider the comment key above as the subject of the post.

Some one please tell me who are these Republicans are that are gleeful over a shut down.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I don’t personally recall hearing any Republicans say they actually wanted to shut down WIC, AFDC or any other such programs prior to the shutdown.

I am stepping on your thread don't know about sfgate.

But it has occurred to me than the folks voting on these bills have supported expenditures that they never would have outside of the shut down.

A bunch of bills voted for by the house now which they would have never supported before, will be very hard to walk back in the future..

Anyone ever heard of the thousand cuts analogy?

Wow! Lockhead is sure is a blockhead. I don't really understand what she means here:

Some feel Republicans are hypocrites to challenge the Democrats to support their own programs.

Challenging someone to support their own program makes you a hypocrite? That would you don't support your own programs, but I see no evidence of Repubs not supporting their programs. Is this blockhead smoking something other than tobacco?

And when and where did any Repub "gleefully" say they were going to shut down the government? This isn't hyperbole, this is outright slander if a specific person is named *I went to the linked article and didn't see any - smart move by this blockhead).

The rhetoric is getting shrill, folks. The Dems and the media are full of consternation as to why the Repubs haven't folded up yet, you know, like they always have.

This is from the home page of the “Senate Conservatives Fund:”

SCF Launches TV Ad Pressuring Democrats to Defund Obamacare
The Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) launched a new national TV and radio ad campaign Tuesday criticizing congressional Democrats for using a government shutdown to force millions of Americans into Obamacare — a program Americans overwhelmingly oppose. - - - “

Can anyone supply us with names of who the SCF includes?

Hopefully there are no WTF RINOs on that list - - - .

If the Dems were doing this for one of their pet programs, they would be patting themselves on the back, praising their conviction and crowing about how dissension is patriotic. The best thing we can do is to keep things shut down until people can actually log in to healthcare.gov and find out they’ve been bamboozled. Then again, they may be purposely keeping it hosed as long as the shutdown is in place.
