They Keep Threatening To Shut Down Congress
Edited on Fri Apr-24-09 04:40 PM by KingOfLostSouls
well if obama does this we'll shut down the government, if they investigate this, we'll shut down the government.

if they do blah blah blah


pretty much, at this point the only thing republicans have is threatening to shut down the government because they want to stomp their feet like children and have more more more more tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and because they have nothing else.


fuck 'em, I say. let them shut down the government. let them go out in front of the american people and take on the president, especially one this wildly popular, in the middle of this recession and try to explain it away.


2010 will see at least 5 seats in the senate picked up by the democratic party.


fuck 'em, shut it down. and see how well that works out.

3. Ask that fat slug Gingrich how "shutting down the government" worked for him.
Fools.

4. Congress has done little of value since 1999. Go ahead--shut it down.

6. We would all be ahead of the game. Only downside I can see
would be all those Congresspersons with the free time to appear on TV more often and bloviate.
:puke: :spank:
