Palin, Cruz, and all you Tea Party Republicans, are the scum of the earth, using God and the Veterans in order to brain wash the poor uneducated people from your Party into hating our president and the Democratic Party!

poor minorities people! You Tea Party Republicans are the devils at work, and the people Cruse you,
kowing that you devils are lyres, and your works won't stand, in Jesus name! Beohner, you better wake up! And all you black Republicans, who are promoting racism and hate, for 30 pieces of silver,

The speaker has a chance to become the worst terrorist our great country has ever seen. I am very proud of Obama bringing this country out of the mess W put us in while having Boner and the Tea party lying about everything, and saying (no) to all his great plans to put the people back to work. What we need to do in 2014 is kick out the Republican party control of the House.
Toni - 11 years ago
The "SPEAKER" works for the people "NOT THE TEA PARTY" And if he loses his job because of his lack of leadership or because he sided with the tea party, I will not lose any sleep over it. All he cares about is himself,
not the PEOPLE.

I think it is ridiculous that a American President should have to tolerate such comments made by Palin and Cruz and what they were imlying about President Obama not being american , being a muslim and god knows what else they think, In my opinion they and the republican party are just a bunch of American Terrorist, A racist bunch of backwoods hillbillys that are so self absorbed that can't see how stupid they are..It is disgusting and I am embarassed to be an american and have people think all americans are so narrow minded.

All the pressure is on the Republicans because they are the only party who accepts responsibility. Democrats give handouts to their friends, exempt themselves, and run up bills they expect someone else to pay. Obama does not have the power to exempt people from laws. I promise you this will pay off very well for the Republicans, See 2014!

I believe that a default could give the President the power for a presidential executive order to impose 10% surtax on business and individuals making $250,000.00 or more as long as the shutdown continues, in order to pay the Government debt.

So close to default that we can say good bye to AA rating (you already lost us our AAA rating last time you pulled this crap) and years before we can get it back where it belongs if we ever can. Thanks GOP for throwing your childish fit. First thing in the new budget should be to cut your pay , COAL and other benny's to that of the average federal work. No one elected you so that you could receive life time benny's. Only the the President should get that.. This one week on and two weeks off is for the birds. You are there to help govern.

I am sick and tired of the GOP right wing extremist agendas. These people took an oath to serve, honor and protect. They deserve to lose their positions, including their speaker. When Congress holds up progress like this their pay frozen and access limited. The working class were hurt during the last debt crisis. Our Government should work for the people and by the people (all) and not held hostage by a small obstructive group. We are only as strong and faithful as our bottom denominator.

I don't trust the Re-thug-licans to do ANYTHING. The TEA partiers are trying to destroy this county. They don't care about anything except holding our country hostage at gunpoint to exact a very high price--just as soon as they figure out what that price should be. They are nothing but thugs and bullies who will destroy anyone and anything to get their way. They yell and scream that they are patriots at the same time they are violating the Constitution--OUR Constitution. The only way to protect our country from this ever happening again is to get rid of the TEA partiers. We need to fix the mess that allows states to severely jerrymander their districts and get far more of these TEA party wackjobs than their populations should allow them to have. We need to return to public finance of our elections. Then, we need to overturn Citizens United. I think that will go a long way toward preventing this horrific mess from happening again.

Dan Davis - 11 years ago
The GOP cannot even get out of their own way much less get us out of the mess they put us in.
If a two party system is going to work then neither party can pander to the extremists. I love how in politalk they are now called the "base," what a joke! The only way they are "base" is if we mean the lowest kind. The base of both parties used to be the vast majority that was in the middle. If the GOP cannot figure this out then we should go to a multi-party system where the chances for any one party getting a majority are slim and therefore compromises must be made to form governing coalitions. Otherwise we will continually be held hostage by the extremists and/or the wealthiest donors. What we are experiencing now is governance by the shrillest and the wealthiest and not of, by or for the "people."
As soon as the two parties wake up the next step is for the people to wake up. How many folks do you know who are totally taken in by the lies and fear mongering and hate and taken in enough that they essentially are voting against their own best interests? For me it is too many!

Lets call the Tea party what and who they really are. The John Birch Society. That's who they are. Just under a new name. I'll bet most Tea party folks don't even know the John Birch Society called Eisenhower a communist for putting America to work. The GOP ran the Birchers out of DC on a rail. The GOp needs to do the same to the TeaBirchers right now. The GOp is on a suicide mission. Part of me says go right ahead. But I'm not willing to hurt America to do it. That's the difference between us and them. We don't want to hurt America. They, on the other hand are more than willing to do just that . They don't care. Do some research on the John Birch Society if you don't believe me.. Nixon beat Goldwater. Goldwater was a Bircher too.
This isn't the first time they've raised their ugly heads. They will be back. In the meantime, someone kick them to the curb, Please. They're hurting America.

So what if Republicans are primaryed by the Tea party. If we default, I give a Tea party candidate to have a zero chance. Right now a Republican has about a 25% chance. There's a total of 25%. Wonder where the other 75% is going to go.

No, the gop had a chance to call them out on their insanity and they did not stand up AND DO THEIR JOB. IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEIR PARTY AND THE TEABAGGERS NOW WANT TO CRASH THE ECONOMY, DECIMATE THE PROGRAMS AND RE-BOOT THE COUNTRY AS THEY SEE FIT AND FITS THEIR AGENDA,,,,

All the extra money this shut down is costing the government, a bill should be presented to Boehner and his tea publicians.

So what if Republicans are primaryed by the Tea party. If we default, I give a Tea party candidate to have a zero chance. Right now a Republican has about a 25% chance. There's a total of 25%. Wonder where the other 75% is going to go.
No, the gop had a chance to call them out on their insanity and they did not stand up AND DO THEIR JOB. IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEIR PARTY AND THE TEABAGGERS NOW WANT TO CRASH THE ECONOMY, DECIMATE THE PROGRAMS AND RE-BOOT THE COUNTRY AS THEY SEE FIT AND FITS THEIR AGENDA,,,,
THEY ARE NOT THE REAL AMERICANS,,THEY ARE THE DESTRUCTORS OF AMERICA..MAKE NO BONES ABOUT IT THIS WAS PLANNED FROM PRESIDENTS OBAMA ELECTION,,,,,NEVER TRUST THEM EVER AGAIN
I THINK THEY WILL TAKE THIS TO THE 11TH HOUR AFTER MAJOR DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
they are omly for the top 1 percent and have the balls to claim its what the people want...need to open the goverment and quit actimg like children....then they call themselves christians which they aare not...
Mark, If the story you are telling is correct, Please Post this story on all Electronic Media of this country ASAP! so everyone knows Ted Cruz is for Ted Cruz not for the America! He is not deserve to be in the US Congress!
The GOP or greedy ogre party could care less about America, they should be considered domestic terrorists because that is what they are. Jesus is deeply ashamed.
They are becoming vultures right before everyone's eyes. They are shameful and should be tossed as far as the East is from the West come the 2014 elections!
The republicans are responsible for the mess we are in, not just the tea party. At any time they could have decided not to follow the tea party in this crusade, but they just don't have the backbone to do what's right. I will be very surprised if they can hold the house majority in the next election.
All the extra money this shut down is costing the government, a bill should be presented to Boehner and his tea publicians. They need to pay in real hard cash, after all this cost is due to their inefficiency to do their jobs. All they talk about is cutting cost of Gov, well they need to be held accountable ( IN CASH).
Ed, Look at the Republican Desperation Act! Canadian Raccoon, Alaska Salmon, and Klay Klan with a handful of followers of The Evil Association (TEA), a group of the Republican Party performed a "Desperate Act" this past Sunday at the WW2 Veteran Memorial ! It was a "Shameful Act" of the Republican Party. They showed to the world that they were ignorance group : the flags holder was contradicted himself with the Confederated Flag and the Marine Flag! Klay Klan mumbled and confused hatred and racist words, ... Their acts are Un-American!
I don't trust Republicans to do anything good for the country. Imagine Ted Cruz didn't bring money with him to a restaurant for dinner then tells off a restaurant employee for telling Cruz he had to pay for his meal. Cruz snapped at the employee "Do you know who I am?" What arrogance. Who speaks to a restaurant employee that way?
The Republicans lost their conscience since they allow The Evil Association members to control their caucus!
These Republicans are all about getting reelected. They are not into "governing."
Hell NO!! They are out to see this Nation fail
