House GOP Leaders Desperate to Avoid a Shutdown

[left-of-center2012]

1. Defunding Planned Parenthood

From what I heard this morning on the Bill Press radio show the Tea Party is willing to shut down the government
to stop "Obama's funding the murder of unborn babies".

[progressoid]

2. Got a plea for money from PP in the mail a few days ago.

God, if I were a multimillionaire, I would send them tons of money.

Alas, I can't spare 5 bucks.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

3. Republicans don't CARE about the unborn....

They only care about accusing us of murder and pretending to be the heroes that will stop us.

[NCjack]

4. LBJ would make the RW Rethugs regret ever trying to blackmail him.

Pres. Obama should force a deal on them that leaves a taste like shit.

5. Better write that date down

The last time they shut down the government I got married and my wife couldn't change her last name. We almost didn't make it to Jamaica because of that. Thanks guys!

6. Which party is the whiners again? Someone please remind me...

7. The sad part is

we'll probably be stuck with the Orange Man et al. for at least the next 5-10 years. This county's not going to get much of anything done at all.

8. They may not have a plan to avert it, but you can be sure they have a plan to blame Obama for it

[deafskeptic]

11. now that's duzy! n/t

[tavernier]

9. And yet they are too dumb to make the connection

that the country is sick of congress wallowing in perpetual stagnation and that is why Trump's siren call is threatening to destroy their lucrative and cozy seats, and possibly the very party that seated them.

10. We could only hope.....

that the threat comes to be!
(not being TRUMPed, but destroying the party!)
