"We're not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don't know what that even is."

1. Unfortunately, I think at this point this is the problem.

They want to go back to their guys and say they got something. So, they are playing with people's life.

[gopiscrap]

26. I agree

[Coyotl]

60. They are getting something, THE BLAME!

[Cal33]

51. And, in addition, about this point of "being disrespected": They are the ones who have been

and are still doing the disrespecting. Pres. Obama is the one who has been doing his best to
appease them from Day One. I remember Boehner, after emerging from a bargaining session
with the President, boasted that he'd gotten 95% of what he'd wanted!

The GOP is a bottomless pit. They want everything, and it's still not enough. The only things
they respect are money, power, and strength. Appeasement only whets their appetites, it just
makes them want still more. We are not dealing with normal people. We are dealing with
sickos.

They only respect the big stick! Pres. Obama has yet to understand this.

[KansDem]

2. That's okay, Congressman. Here's you $172,000 anyway...

Great work if you can get it!

[Auggie]

3. I know what they can get -- a one-way ticket back to Palookaville

[onehandle]

4. Sounds like a line out of 'The Godfather,' if Donald Trump had written it. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

5. That "something" should be their heads on a platter. . .

n/t

[MADem]

6. I got something for them, something they could really use--a PERMANENT VACATION.

Let's throw those bastards out the House next year!!!

[freshwest]

7. +1

[SoapBox]

44. + 1 and + 1

[libodem]

35. Yep!

[Citizen Seattle]

8. I don't even know what the heck that even means. Word salad for lunch?

I just read this, "...Nemesis was the Goddess in charge of retribution for hubris, doling out Fortune to whom it was due. And bringing stern justice on those who took too much."

Calling on Nemesis to make her presence known. Today would be good.

That is all.

[sulphurdunn]

37. Yes, to the Greeks,

hubris was the unforgivable sin and was punished epically by the gods. Nemesis should be invited to visit Washington.

[True_Blue]

9. Lol ...

They don't even know what they want, so they're going to hold the government hostage until they figure it out. Usually hostage takers ask for money and a plane. Any chance that we could get rid of them if we offered them money and a plane?

[caledesi]

10. As usual, thank you.

I like hot tea.. Earl Gray has a somewhat licorice taste.

[ffr]

11. Ready?!!! Shoot!!! Aim!!!

[SoutherDem]

12. Disrespected?

Mr. Stutzman you must earn respect. Do your job and you may be respected. Quit acting like a 5yr old and you may be respected. Quit holding the country hostage and you may be respected.

Actually the term disrespected reminds me of a former employee. I worked for a for-profit school which meant if we needed students to make our numbers we offered work-study and they were assigned to the jobs by the financial aid department no matter if the student-employee was qualified or not.

This guy who was hired for me was someone I wouldn't have hired given a choice. He had no communication skills, poor hygiene, low work ethics and a bad attitude with delusions of grandeur. I was wondering just who would hire him when he isn't needed to fill some goal.

He was constantly talking about being "disrespected'. He spoke constantly about being in fights because he was "disrespected" and on two occasions I saw him try to start a fight because he was being "disrespected", once because someone accidentally bumped into him.

I was taught you must earn respect, apparently today respect is an inalienable right.

[alarimer]

14. "disrepected" = macho posturing

It is a term used by insecure people whose egos need stroking.

[SoutherDem]

21. You described my former employee perfectly

And the Republican!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. Right Wingers expect instant respect because they are Prophets of Reagan....

You know,...Reagan,...the guy who made the city shine.

[Festivito]

13. They get to hide news about Obamacare and give a disaster for the rich.

This allows people to omit Obamacare from the water-cooler discussions. Hides it until the media considers it old news and not worth reporting. Except to report a lot of little things like a website that is slow on day one hoping Obamacare will die a death from a thousand paper cuts.

Also, it serves a little disaster capitalism as a gift to the investors, the further and further and further distanced-from-the-poor rich. This will make these richy riches donate even more to their upcoming campaigns.

Oh, they're doing it for a reason.

[William769]

15. It's really simple what they need to get out of this.

PINK SLIPS!

[Divine Discontent]

32. righ on William769, pink slips for posers!

[bluedeathray]

16. Hey, you can't expect indentured slaves to know their master's plans...

Morons! Respect does NOT enter the equation.

How blind would one have to be to vote Republican?

[SDjack]

17. Tea Party congressional members are unworthy.

Save yourselves the embarrassment of your buffoonery and resign your seats now. As for respect, that is beyond your reach.

[tinrobot]

18. Here's five bucks, kid.

Don't spend it all in one place.

Juveniles... all of them.

47. And....you are very pretty....does that make you feel better?

23. Any one else hear Will Ferrell in their head when they read this quote...

[lark]

24. I've got an idea, treat them exactly as they are acting - like kids in kindergarten.

Give them a shiny gold star sticker, pat them on the head and send them home (forever).

[hoosierlib]

25. Welcome to Indiana...

The land of fucking morons...we have six more dipshits just like him

[Boomerproud]

27. I wish you were wrong

but there's proof every time one of those morons are on TV. There was one of them on CNN this morning and was blaming the "media" and even Carol Costello said "Oh, come on!" As for all of the "disrespect" crap coming from the disrespectors let's just say this-Respect has to be earned and has to be given.

[LittleGirl]

31. gawd, that's what drove me out of my home state...

those morons! Stupid fucking morons like him!

[jessie04]

34. Every state has their own dipshits.

you're not alone.

28. try getting LOST motherfuckers.

[Divine Discontent]

33. well, hopefully they get something

a big ol' frown face on election day! These tools are clearly a joke, as we're witnessing with their idiotic statements like the one above.

30. we're going to take a giant shit on the American public and demanded that you respect us

for it.

[TBF]

36. Ok, we won't charge you with treason.

Imbecils.

[Hubert Flottz]

39. Spoken like a true idiot.

The Koch brothers love it when their congressional stooges are stupid enough to do ANYTHING the Koch family might command.

A good stooge is a brainless stooge.

[valerief]

40. Stunning! As in stun-gun stunning. Good lord. nt

42. We are dealing with mental 5 year olds.

[SoapBox]

43. Here is some disrespect for ya, Marlin...

Big...old... FINGER!

Asshole.

[Hydepier]

45. My suggestion for dealing with this idiot:

Send him an email, send him a second and a third email each and every day this shut-down continues.

Call his offices, each and every office, each and every day this shut-down continues.

Don't tell him you live in another state, tell him you are an American citizen, period.

Don't tell hi you saw this on DU, tell him you are an American citizen, period.

Then tell him about how someone earns respect.

Make your own message, teach him to be a person who deserves respect, and teach him that he needs to earn it.


If you don't want to fool with this fool in Indy, fool with any Republican member of the House, anywhere, anytime, day or night, say the same thing, and keep it up, day by day. Make them feel a bit of heat for being so disrespectful to 800,000 fellow Americans who are hard-working qualified workers, workers who make less than he does, workers who got their job through honest competition, not through payoffs and campaign funds from big business.

Tell him to go directly to Hell and do not pass GO, and do it each and every day, in one way or another. Let's make this guy shake in his boots for a few years.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

46. Maybe Obama oughta go for it....

They want a white guy in there.

[polynomial]

48. Welcome to America

Well very obvious elected people that are supposed to work for all America not just the home town, or the one percent. Political people take an oath to the State and National Constitution to run the government to the best of their ability. This is what they consider as the best ability is no work. Just stop doing stuff. Wow. Shut it down.

Well shut the front door but keep the back door open for those secret deals. Isn’t it unbelievable America is placed in this awkward sense of nomad wondering wilderness news culture of unknown hours ahead days ahead, weeks ahead.

You really have to have a sick mind or be mentally impaired. Instead of voter identification stuff at the red states they all should have a mental profile test. That identifies draconian middle age depression tendencies. Because this sure is something of a different time that does not ascend to something for the future something good something that builds even a little at a time but something to move forward with the sense of accomplishment. Not just stop.

The backlash can be expected towards anything Republican. Especially those that seek work, likely from my view plenty of people in the work force will have a tendency to recoil at the sign of working for a Republican institution. Many who do not choose a side to be Democratic or Republican or Independent, or even some tea party type who have an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness, that conscience in the mind for what is country patriotism pledge allegiance to the flag.

Can you imagine that inner feeling of a political person that shuts the doors of the government yet can stand at the ball game to pledge allegiance to the flag.

Imagine that political that shuts the door to service singing out Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? That political person never served in the military but shuts the door to serve the public. An incredible wrong weird feeling.

America lets all stand up and make these political people sing O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

Do you well up in tears like I do, do you feel so sad about these people like I do, you just want God to smite them for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. They shut all that is “we the people” men selected to making society work, are they chasing America to church are they telling America to go home and pray. No, they want more money.

[dotymed]

56. America

has become the USSR shortly before their collapse.

Unless we get money out of politics it will only worsen.

[Cha]

49. Self-centered egotistical asshole gets bite back..

"The president also mocked Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) for saying Wednesday that his party has "to get something out of" the shutdown fight, even though he doesn't "know what that even is.”

"You have already gotten the opportunity to serve the American people. There's no higher honor than that," Obama said to applause. "You've already gotten the opportunity to help businesses like this one. Workers like these. So the American people aren't in the mood to give you a goody bag to go with it. What you get is our intelligence professionals being back on the job. What you get is our medical researchers back on the job. What you get are little kids back in the head start.".

52. Sounds like hostage taking to me

As if they deserve respect. What a bunch of hosebags.

[calimary]

61. Makes me think of having to face down a street gang armed with guns, crowbars, and

murder in their eyes.

[mnhtnbb]

53. If you don't want to be disrespected, you should be careful not to behave in a contemptible way.

[pam4water]

54. I will buy them an icecream if the start the government up XD Will add spinkles if they raise the

debt ceiling.

[SmittynMo]

55. WTH is wrong with these people?

They don't want to be disrespected, yet they fully deserve no repect.

They don't even know why they did what they did. Yet we're suppose to accept that.

They obviously do not care what the repercussions will be for their actions.

They don't even know what they're suppose to "get out of this".



Shane, I say let em crash (Airplane)

[liberal N proud]

57. The questions to Stutzman should be "What are the American People getting?"

They are making it all about them and nothing about the country.

Of course they will twist it to make it sound like they are looking after the best interest of their constituents.

[niyad]

58. from this clueless cretin's facebook page:

Congressman Marlin Stutzman
While my staff and I are fine, our thoughts and prayers are with the Capitol Police and all those affected.

and this:

Stutzman
The men and women who serve in our nation’s National Guard and their families should not be victims of President Obama and Senate Democrats’ shutdown. Yet that is what is happening as Harry Reid has rejected four House-passed bills to keep the government open and our National Guard paid.
