GOP stands firm against funding bill, will link to debt ceiling fight

[brooklynite]

Source: Washington Examiner

House Republicans are unlikely to blink in the standoff over Obamacare that precipitated a government shutdown, fearing that acceding now to Democratic demands for a “clean” spending bill would weaken their hand in upcoming negotiations over the the debt ceiling.

Those Republicans said Wednesday that the spending impasse that shut down the government early Tuesday is less about conservatives' desire to derail Obamacare than it is about strengthening their hand in the debt-ceiling talks. That borrowing limit must be raised by Oct. 17 to prevent the government from defaulting on its financial obligations and Republicans say any future agreement to reopen the government would link the spending bill and the debt ceiling.

“This is not just about Obamacare anymore,” centrist Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., said.

“We’re not going to be disrespected,” conservative Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., added. “We have to get something out of this. And I don’t know what that even is.”

Thanks for clearing that up....

1. They've earned the country's disrespect

They deserve nothing. They get nothing.

[gopiscrap]

2. Dangerous crazy fuckers

[BootinUp]

3. Heres a video they should watch to get ready for the game

[aquart]

4. What a thrill for Wall Street.

Can't wait to see their next move.

[tridim]

5. That's super GOP. You get nothing, you lost.

Proceed committing political suicide.

[texanwitch]

6. Well, that explains everything.

They want the ball and don't want anyone else to play with it.

Ok folks.

Might be a good time to stock up on the rice and beans.

They are going to make up stuff as they go.

This is so very sad for our country.

What we must look like to the rest of the world.

[abelenkpe]

7. O goody

Crash the fragile global economy to appease teabaggers. Notice the dollar going down since the republicans started these shenanigans?

After years of them claiming to be concerned about the economy, inflation and the value of the dollar they kickstart another recession out of spite.

[texanwitch]

8. Out of spite.

They don't even know what they want.

Just to destroy the country.

[Amonester]

13. They dream of rapture, and since it's a fairy tale for 4-year-old babies and would never happen...

in reality, they now want to make it happen themselves.

[DLnyc]

15. "We have to get something out of this. And I don’t know what that even is.”

That about sums it up.

And, ironically, nobody else knows what it is either.

Just sad.

[texanwitch]

17. This makes our country look so stupid.

A handfull of people going cause so much pain.

They didn't have a plan b.

Just jump up and down and scream, and get what they wanted.

They are like a two year old out of control.

[BeyondGeography]

9. I say give them a Dog Day Afternoon-style ride to the airport

Marlin, you play Sal.

[Thor_MN]

10. "Disrespected"? Impossible. They would need to earn some respect first.

Marlin, what you are going to get out of this is lots of free time. Keep this up and you won't be able to buy a vote next year.

[roamer65]

11. You're going to give in and get nothing.

You are worthy of no respect. You are a criminal, stutzman.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

12. They're nucking futz!

What's more, should the GOP succeed and I don't think they will, but if they did the 1% would have successfully convinced the 99% to completely work against their best interests.

[TomCADem]

14. No - Its scorched earth. They will get their way...

...even if it means destroying the economy in the process. And, with the false equivalency being pedaled by the main stream media, they will be given cover by pundits insisting that Democrats must once again "show leadership" by giving into the craven demands of the radical right.

[Rain Mcloud]

16. I have said it for years

Actually this has got me thrown out of many right wing forums for troll baiting:"If we don't get what we want then we are going to take the ball,the bat and the glove and we are going home,so N'YAH!"
Hear that Pajamas Media?
Go home!

21. There is a revolt brewing in wallstreet and big business.

I was listening to CNBC yesterday and this morning and clearly they are begining to get nervous and blaming it on the GOP. This nervousness will soon to turn to anger.. then the GOPers will feel the heat.
