Dick Morris: GOP Will Shut Down The Government Again
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/dick-morris-gop-will-shut-down-the-government-again-video.php

So now, we have Republicans threatening massive *investigations* of President Obama and Republican advisers like Morris suggesting that we have government shutdowns to look forward to should they win?

Well, I guess I'm glad to know that people- if they're paying attention to stuff like this- will be making a completely informed choice about who they want running Congress and what they want them to do. I don't remember government shutdowns working quite so well for the Republicans when Clinton was in office but I guess Morris somehow thinks that people are going to respond differently this time?

:wtf:

:crazy:

The Republicans are the very definition of both insanity and hypocrisy to the nth degree. I really hope that people are paying attention to statements like this. The Republicans are not even *telegraphing* but they're stating quite LOUDLY and CLEARLY that they don't intend to get ANY work done for anybody come next January (and for the next two years) if they wind up running Congress.

1. So this is what this administration
gets for bowing down to the conservatives every desire and dissing his base? We saw this coming yet over and over he was ever so inclusive of them and their ideas. He extended his hand over and over to get it slapped. Was he so naive as not to see this coming?

4. The GOP needs to be outsourced.
We can get people from foreign countries to give us the shaft for a fraction of what we're paying elected republikkkans.

6. And why would some blame Obama for the DickM threats?
Go figure.

Anything but support the President, he's just not leftist enough ya know. :sarcasm:


Glad you put this up, I'll blame the right wing for threatening to obstruct the people's business....again.

7. I'll blame the right wing too- where it really belongs
I'm getting so tired of all of these "Blame Obama First (and for everything the right wing does)" comments made by some people. The idea that Obama has brought all of this right wing insanity and lunacy on himself (and the rest of the country too) by supposedly "appeasing" conservatives (I don't know for the life of me where THIS is coming from) and failing to investigate/prosecute Bush/Cheney- is ludicrous on its face.

12. Let's also make sure that none of them can file for unemployment benefits either
since they obviously think it's such an awful/evil thing. :puke:

15. Cut off all their benefits for current and past members.
Declare a national emergency and raise the income tax to WWII levels. Leave it shut down until January 1st 2012. Send draft notices to each and every one of the Senators and Congressmen.
