Where's the INGO outrage?

[Bogan]

GOP stands firm against funding bill, will link to debt ceiling fight | WashingtonExaminer.com

“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.”

Sums up the GOP position on the shutdown. Yet there's only crickets in here...

What are we supposed to be outraged about? I'm already outraged over the profligate spending by both parties. During this supposed "shut down" I haven't seen the debt clock count backwards yet. I haven't even noticed it slow down.

 

[Dr.Midnight]

I'm outraged, pal. I'm outraged about having Obamacare shoved down my throat. I'm outraged that my President supposedly had no knowledge of the NSA spying on U.S. citizens or that the IRS was waging its own private attacks on various political groups during his term. . .and I'm still waiting to hear how our great leader is going to ensure this never happens again. Hell yes I'm angry.

Not anymore... The turd can't run a 3rd term..

Oh, I'm sure they could find enough votes to repeal the 22nd. Especially if the 2014 change congress to dem.

From what I've read of Stutzman, I'm pretty sure he knows what the objective is. He probably isn't sure what the idiot GOP leadership wants to get out of this.

Believe me!

We're all pissed about something that these playground tactics inflict on our daily lives.

But let's get to the roots!

Pointing fingers from one side of a playground still puts you on the playground!

Demo-Repub-Left-Right Bull crap doesn't change anything! I'm a human with a little less of my humanity being 'given' back to me every day and frankly I'm pissed about that! Because it was intended to be MINE in the first place.

These calluses on my hands meant that I had enough for myself and my family! Now they mean that my owner can get another private JET!

Self Empower, Self Motivate, Self Reliance, Self Respect!

What am I supposed to be enraged about? The Republicans in the house finally putting their foot down by saying "enough is enough... we're not funding that?"

Or the Democrats in the Senate saying "you'll fund everything we want or you'll get no funding at all!"?



moveon.org is that way --------------->

Go there. You'll probably fit in better.

 

[riverman67]

I'm still pissed about the supposed investigations of Fast and Furious and Benghazi.
Hell I'm still pissed about the patriot act that opened the door for this NSA bull ****.
Yeah I've been pissed for a long time.

This thread illustrates the INGO's GOP supporters are about as clear headed on this whole thing as those they admire in Washington.

I say let it go on. At the very least we will no longer be able to police the border with Mexico at all, so we won't have to listen to their big-government advocacy when it comes to immigration and we can watch their free market sort it all out.

huh? we're still policing the border, those are some of those "essential" employees. And all the other federals employees are going to get their back pay too. It's all happened before, business as usual.

I'm for the government shutdown. It just shows how many non-essential (in the private sector, that would be called unemployed) employees and departments we tax payers are funding.

Think about how many non essential employees are at the NSA. It didn't prevent the boston bombings, nothing has happened in their absence and if they didn't have this glut of non essential workers, there would be far less time to spy on Ameicans phone calls. Apply that sang philosophy to every department.

How much energy does the department of energy produce? Zero. Gut it.

And for all the blame the GOP is getting for the shut down and how willing Obama is to compromise, it's a joke. Repeal Obamacare - NO! Ok then, defund Obamacare - NO! Ok, then delay Individual Mandate for a year - NO! Well, can we at least not give exemptions? - NO! Yeah, that shows a willingness to compromise.

FYI....I'm sure most are already fully aware of this, but I'll say it for the fans in the cheap seats. The antideficiency act is in full effect right now. Who works, who stays, what's opened, what's closed is directed by the OMB, the largest office within the EOP. Obama is once again picking the winners and losers and then blaming the GOP when he now has control of the purse.

The EPA has laid off 10,000 employee and only have 1,000 still working. yet they report that the EPA is continuing with business as usual. So they don't even apparently need 90% of their employees... but we hire more, pay them more, then they donate millions to the reelection of the Democrats who work to protect their jobs. That doesn't seem incestuous, does it?

 

[Stickfight]

About as incestuous as the defense industry, so pretty clearly incestuous.

Not the same thing, really.

The "defense industry" is comprised of CORPORATIONS, not government entities.

Why is that different?

I don't agree with you at all that the defense industry is composed of corporations, at least not if you meant exclusively.
