I'm sure Speaker Boner has heard the old expression Shape up or ship out. Being the fact he can't shape up the tea party he needs to ship out.

The Republican Party's mainline strategy for many years than I can count has been to lie, lie, lie. They honestly believe that if they stand by the lies they tell, and tell them repeatedly, then people will start believing them. President Bush Sr. did it, President Bush Jr. did same, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Speaker Boehner, Cantor, Vice pres. Chaney, Mitch McConnel (big time), Machell Bachman, John McCain, Paul Ryon, Mitt Romney, just to mention a few. Shameful bunch...

The GOP has stopped payments for government employees by the sequester of all government jobs. Why the American people think Democrats and President Obama would hurt the employees in government and private sector jobs. When President Obama put through a health care policy to help find insurance even for people with pre-existing conditions. Now the GOP (backed by the tea party) want to stop payments for government workers. Since the private sector has been now used slave wages from outsource jobs and pay scales so much lower then the American paychecks. Shame on the republican party who does not support the American people.

Where in the heck is their sense of right & wrong, example Sarah Palin, Steve King, & Cruz among many others. They sure make us look disgusting here & abroad.

The Republicans in the US House of Representatives are holding the Country hostage over funding the US Government by demanding unpopular changes in our laws. They have shut the Government down and are threatening the full faith and credit of our Country. If these members of Congress are arrested and charged with Conspiracy to Commit Extortion they would no longer hold the majority in the House of Representatives and a Democratic majority could then elect a new Speaker of the House and move our business of Governing ahead. So I created a petition to The United States House of Representatives, which says:"Arrest House Republicans including the Speaker for Conspiracy to commit Extortion, an illegal act and a felony."

I once thought that the people of my great nation were the smartest people in the world, but after these last two weeks I am convinced that almost all of the stupidest people in the world are among that thirty to forty people of the tea-bag terrorist along with their leaders Cruz, McConnell and Boehner. How is it that these types of people get elected and continue to be reelected? Please people on the right, wake up and help to put this country back to the super power status we once held.
Tery Gibbs - 11 years ago
The nut jobs on the right just showed their true colors again with that attack on the President. American people are smarter than that and we all know who caused this shutdown and probably the first default in American history. I'm a veteran and I would never lower myself to this gutless spewing of lies and rhetoric that took place in front of the white house. The dirt bags, Palin and Cruz need to both be arrested and prosecuted for causing civil unrest and those on the mall and the rest of the tea baggers need to be arrested and prosecuted under the federal hate crimes law and civil rights act of 1964. Their hatred towards this President because of his pigmentation is criminal in all aspects.

Wallace in 1976.

(Yay Me, F@#K You). I want to see these terrorists tried for treason. Yes, they are terrorists- what else do you call a group who take over a government, destroy a country, hold hostages and have demands? Pres. Obama can NOT give in to them- or next time will be worse. What ever happened to majority rule? That Dick-tator/ Canadian Ted Cruz needs to be deported- and Boehner needs to grow a pair and not let them get caught in the TT Party vice.

He said months ago that he won't let the government shut down, now he's saying he won't let the government default. We've seen how he handled not letting the government shut down, how can we can trust him for anything else?
