What If The Teabaggers Refuse To Pass Any Legislation Of Any Kind Until Their Demands Are Met

[TheMastersNemesis]

The GOP and tea baggers are in a position to stop everything indefinitely. Eventually everything will shut down. Then what.
We have major bills that will have to be funded at some point.

1. Have they done much of anything except to try and get rid of the ACA anyway?

Have done anything except extort for the last 5 years?
It feels to me like all they do is say no to Dem legislation when they can, and propose things that have no chance of passing, for show.
I am feeling like they are just now taking their next step, taking obstruction to the next level.

2. I would like to know at what point they can be

called exactly what they are - domestic terrorists and treated accordingly.

4. The Shutdown Will Become More Widespread Over Time.

8. I would guess right around October 24th

If the debt ceiling is not dealt with by then the teabaggers will carry all the blame.

3. At least then it should be obvious to everyone what is going on...

... and hopefully they would stop saying that "they don't want to shut the government down".

5. You would have to ask, what will their next demand be...........

This is not a grassroots 'hissey fit' over ACA. This is a coordinated attempt to turn the country into the bad science fiction novel that best serves the GOP owners.

This time it's defund ACA. Next time defund the EPA, next time end Medicare and so on.
Keep obstructing until America becomes a corporate serfdom.

Give them their way, and what will be left will not be worth having.

7. It Really Is About Passing ALL The GOP Agenda In The End.

6. The Traditional Republicans would need to revolt.

I think this whole thing is a power struggle within the Republican party. Right now the Teabaggers have the advantage because they are in safely gerrymandered districts and the traditionalists are vulnerable to primary battles.


If the teabbaggers over reach, that balance could shift so that they become vulnerable to primary battles from people who are not nuts.

9. The Democrats need to use this Teabag Temper Tantrum

to really rev up the masses to vote in the 2014 Mid Term elections. Next year it should be all about throwing the bums out of office.

10. They want to Act like Taliban we treat them

Let's See Osama was shot
Sadam was hanged

11. They been shutting down progress for close to 5 years now!
