Should We Really Be Gloating?

1. For now, yes.

Then it's back to business, working to kick Teabagger/GOoPer butts out of office in 2014.

[darkangel218]

2. I am :)

Is it bad? Am I gonna go to hell or something?

3. No, last couple of weeks just proof of non functioning democracy where senate is fillibustered ad

... nausea and house members over represent rural and red areas due to unmitigated Gerrymandering

[obnoxiousdrunk]

4. I feel guilty now.

[HappyMe]

5. Some gloating is in order.

We have plenty to do, but a gloat break is nice.

[randome]

6. I was truly surprised by how insulting Reid and others were to Boehner.

If they're willing to stick the knife in that deeply, then I no longer have a problem with gloating.

Although, to be accurate, I don't think we should see this as a win for ourselves but as a loss for the GOP. But that's semantics.

Gloat on!

7. No, we should not. The House is going to refuse to hold a vote on this.

I don't get why people think they are suddenly going to start doing their fucking jobs.

[HappyMe]

9. You know this how?

[kestrel91316]

12. Because they don't want government funded. Same reason they shut things down in the first place.

They don't have to vote. Boehner is still under the teabaggers' control. He'll just say nope, not voting.

[HappyMe]

17. I don't think so.

The boss clown Cruz said that he wouldn't block this.

James Lankford R-Oklahoma just said that he has no doubt that Boehner will bring this to the floor.

[cynatnite]

21. The house is going to hold the vote and then the reps are going home....

It's expected to pass. Reported on MSNBC.

27. Quite the faith you place in prophecy...

Quite the faith you place in prophecy...

[Orsino]

8. Hell, yeah!

Just wait 'til those other countries get a loaf of how well our government wor--

Oh, wait. Never mind.

Woo, us.

[duffyduff]

10. No, because this will happen again and again

in the attempt to cram "austerity" down the throats of the American people until the people who control our supposedly elected politicians get their way about it.

I think the vast majority of people, regardless of political beliefs, know D.C. politics is screwed up, but they are at their wit's end on what can be done about it.

[Bunnahabhain]

11. I never gloat

I used to gloat but found it is non-productive, alienates people I might have to actually accomplish something with (gee, what a novel thought in US politics), and that it can easily come back to bite you in the ass. There's nothing worse than a sore winner so I attempt to be gracious in victory.

[The Wielding Truth]

13. I am disgusted over all we lost over this Republican stunt! Billions of $'s, jobs and it slowed the

economy. Then on a personal level, there were 10 of thousands whose lives were disrupted, some causing irreparable damage. Do you gloat over a bowel movement? Sorry, that's how this seems.

[lame54]

14. If I haven't shit in days I do

[Xyzse]

15. No, Until this is All Over... No...

I don't trust this yet.
Until the government is back on, I don't think so.

I just think there has been too much crap that has happened for me to feel any sort of elation.

I think that the Tea Party / Republicans are ruining the country and needs to be completely put down. Gloating as if there is anything to be actually happy about.

Government has been shut down causing much hardship for many. Gloating makes it look petty and too political, I rather see what else can be improved on.

[DefenseLawyer]

16. I'll wait to see what comes of the "bipartisan budget committee" n/t

[nolabels]

18. No, and the whole scam to ram that bill with republican agenda and earmarks is going through

Gloat that we are stuck in the boat with looser republicans, i have not the stomach

[closeupready]

19. Sure, why not.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Why would I gloat?

Yeah, the republicans fucked themselves big-time. But, they also screwed a hell of a lot of people in the process. I'm glad the President and the Dems have been holding strong, but that doesn't change things for all the people that are losing income and/or jobs. Nor, does it change the fact that this epic act of stupidity has cost this country hundreds of millions of dollars, nor will it regain the respect this idiocy has cost us with the rest of the world. Gloat? I don't think so. I am sick to my stomach over this.

[randome]

28. But federal employees received nothing worse than a 3 week paid vacation!

According to some moronic elephants in Congress.

22. I'm not gloating. This did hurt real people. The repukes should be ashamed. n/t

[lame54]

23. they should and it did...

but it's still the best day in weeks

[cynatnite]

24. I'm relieved. n/t

[Dawson Leery]

25. No gloating here. The tea terrorists have caused great harm

to the nation socially, and to the nation and world economically.

The teaklan WILL attempt to do the same when another opportunity arises.

[lame54]

26. I think they woke people up...

the countries damage is temporary
their parties damage may be irreversible
