Speaker John Boehner is warning his Republican colleagues that Democrats would “win” a government shutdown and the GOP would suffer a political catastrophe if the federal government runs out of money at the end of this week. “The Democrats think they benefit from a government shutdown. I agree,” Boehner said during a closed-door, 90-minute meeting on House Republicans on Monday night, according to several lawmakers who attended the session.

Lookit Whitey...I posted an article!!! Validation!!!! Hey Boofer...git yer little bitch over here and show her the article I posted...
Apparently not. I predict a one to two week shutdown. I'm undecided whether the furloughed workers will receive back pay, as they did in the last shutdowns - for staying at home.
I've got that stupid cracker on my bozo list.
I've got that stupid cracker on my bozo list. which one?
Apparently not. Safe to say Whitey saw...(snicker)
Apparently not. Whitey is preaching to the wrong choir on LP. She needs to convince the hostess there to not take down articles on a whim if she truly wants other posters to post more articles.

Yeah, that's a safe bet...(chuckle)
Think Whitey and ReaganisRight may have been the same person...or, at the least, two people in common knowledge of each other...
Apparently not. “This is not 1995,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), who is considering a gubernatorial run in the Hoosier State. “We have the internet, we have talk radio, we have an infrastructure to get our message out.” Pence amplified this view during a Monday interview on ABC News, saying that Democrats would suffer more than the GOP. “Look — if liberals in the Senate and in this administration want to continue to play political games instead of accepting very modest budget cuts, then if they’d rather embrace a government shutdown than make a down payment on fiscal responsibility, then I say shut it down,” Pence said on the “Top Line” webcast. “And I still feel very strongly that way.” “The people who seem to be afraid of a government shutdown … are worried about getting elected in two more years,” Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Tex.) told the Washington Post. “I’m worried about having to go home and tell the folks that I grew up with, and intend to spend the rest of my life with, that I’m a liar.” Others in this group include Reps. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) and Raul Labrador (Idaho), who called out Boehner during Monday’s session. Bohener is a neocon punk who wants to surrender, so that he can whine about hObama and the evil dems right up to the election.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... Frankly, the Tea Baggers have been shown to be pussies any time push comes to shove...I say they get a one week CR and a budget by the end of that.
Apparently not. I don't think so, but I do think there is a committee of posters on that and this site. I could have sworn old Tater was channeling Palo Verde here.

Pence was born in 1996?
Apparently not.

The Republicans favoring a shutdown are convinced the political landscape is radically different this time around. They believe the power of the president’s “bully pulpit” isn’t as overwhelming as it was in Clinton’s time, and more voters will sympathize with the GOP’s efforts to shut down the government.
