CyberKen Posted October 9, 2013 Author #76 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Besides, giving in would just set a new bad precedent. That would leave the door open for the Dems to just demand whatever they want as soon as they have a majority in Congress (which, given how people feel about the shutdown will be rather sooner than later) or Senate or refuse to pass a budget. Extortion as another means of politics. Fantastic! And then you don't even need a majority! Pass a budget? We have been riding the CR Train for years! The good news is that we have China and Japan putting the pressure on Obama. "The clock is ticking!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted October 9, 2013 #77 Share Posted October 9, 2013 CyberKen, I know I have implied this before - but now I'm just going to ask plain and clear. Are you a Republican Party (or Tea Party) activist here to post propaganda for your political affiliation? The reason I ask is that no person normally 'communicates' (and I use that word cautiously) as you do - in hyperbolic sound-bites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I ask is that no person normally 'communicates' (and I use that word cautiously) as you do - in hyperbolic sound-bites. I just post what is on Drudge Report and Gallup. What's the big deal ??? Most Americans are not even aware that Newt and Bill Clinton spoke - everyday - during the 28 day government shutdown in 1995. They are low information Americans. Most Americans are clueless about the $17 Trillion National Debt. Knowledge is Power The above numbers are facts, not propaganda.

But Ken, you give new meaning to the term "head in the clouds", because your head is literally in the data cloud. You have not posted a single, original thought in regards to anything. You read something on a website and repeat it, and continue repeating it until it loses all meaning. Keep talking about your 11th hour deal. So far you are batting .000 on those.

People would rather hear - FACTS - instead of - Original Thought -. When Obama is out of the White House then i will throw some - Original Thoughts - at you. In the meantime, we have a serious debt crisis to contend with. We have a serious Fear-Mongering Campaign going on right now. Now is a bad time to say "So what?" and just start throwing out - Original Thoughts -. Stick with the facts: BusinessWeek Magazine has gone to DEFCON 1 and you want to sit back and think happy thoughts ??? "DEFAULT of the National Debt will be an economic calamity like none the world has ever seen." Truth: There will be no default on the U.S. Treasury Notes and Bonds. Jack Lew can pay the interest payments with less than $30 Billion. It just so happens that Jack Lew says he HAS $30 Billion to spend October 17, 2013. Coincidence ???

Agent0range Posted October 9, 2013 #81 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Fact. There are now 219 confirmed represantitives that would vote for a clean spending resolution and end the government shutdown.

To pass, it would need 217. How is that for a fact? The 'vote' is fact....all else is speculation...You are Speculating that it is a fact. It isn't. It can't be. The fact cannot actually be 'fact' until a vote. That's it. And anyway...so freaking what?! It isn't like Harry Reid has put every bill on the floor either. He won't...that is the prolem. Why won't he put the Repub bills on the floor for a vote. Nevermind...you are falling for the game being played out for you by those you have never even heard of. The Obama's and the Reid's and the Pelosi's and the Boehner's and the rest are all marianettes on a string...and that string is always being pulled by those who are in control of the money supply.

Agent0range Posted October 9, 2013 #84 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Then put it to a vote Joc! Clearly the republican party is falling apart. They are not united. Are you that blind that you can't see that? The thing is, the Senate does not have to vote to open the government, the house does! So what do you think Joc? Do you think if the republicans succeed in this mess, that it sets a good precedence? Joc, don't you think that would cause an issue like this when we reach other deadlines? Well Joc? Very curious as to what you have to say seeing how you are one of the very few "enlightened". You clearly have a much better idea of what is going on and what the correct course of action should be. Maybe you should just run for office! You are far superior than the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you see the light, you just don't realize it yet. Boehner cares more about his job than the American people. If he let the house vote on the bill, it would pass, and then the far right would be done with Boehner, and he knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the real reason there will be no compromise - because Boehner would lose his job. That's more important to him than the state of the nation, or all the Federal employees not getting paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you realize it yet but Speaker Boehner and Senator Ted Cruz are headed for a major victory. They have new allies - China and Japan -. Obama is getting pushed to the compromise table. The 37% Approval rating is just another reason to walk to the compromise table. Obama is just delaying the inevitable. He already lost. Gene Sperling let the cat out of the bag.

Obama can't run for a third term. 62% of Americans blame the republicans for the shutdown. Congressional elections next year. Who really lost Ken? Do you think the sour republican taste will be out of the mouths of Americans come election time? Or do you think this will be enough to get the majority in the house? So lets say Obamacare does get delayed for a year. I think there is a VERY good chance the democrats will have the house and the senate next year thanks to the little republican circus going on. Who really wins Ken? Even IF the republicans win the battle...well...you know how the saying goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you appreciated the thrust of my post, but I put that down to your blinkered political views. "Obama caving in" is not the only solution to the demands of the Chinese, but it is the only solution which requires America to rescind a perfectly legal and constitutional piece of legislation to achieve the debt repayment. The other solution, which does not require America to grant extra-legal authority to the Chinese, is for the Republicans to sign off a CR budget, put this fiasco behind them, and start being the actual opposition the country needs, rather than simply playing to the Party needs.
