Repugs believe that the House controls all now and everything they pass will become law.

Great news!

The GOP is keeping their promises and shutting down spending money we do not have.

The Czars are not needed and should be gone already.

If Obama needs more then his cabinet to make decisions then he needs to step down and let someone who can handle the jobs.

Way to go GOP.

The majority of Americans are with you!


We must stop ALL spending of money we do not have wastefully like these so called czars.

Funny you say that.

The HC bill is unconstitutional and the demwits thought no one would stop it.

The GOP is doing what the majority of us asked them to do.

Stop the spending of money we do not have.

Oh they will stop spending alright, problem is they will end up stopping ALL spending. The government will shut down and we will see who blinks first. Since it is the Repubs that cut off funding they will be blamed. Once the States, red and blue start going under and when those affected by the shut down get squeezed hard the GOP wil be forced back to working with the Senate and Whitehouse, watch and see. Anyone know what the record time is for one Party to gain and then lose control of either the House or Senate, it is looking like the GOP is going for a low of 2 years.

At this point I doubt ANYTHING they pass will go anywhere beyond the front door to the Senate and sure as heck will not get past the Whitehouse. They are painting themselves into a corner that they are going to regret get in, once the American People start hurting due to a shutdown the GOP will get the blame, and rightly so.

Those that get hit hard will blame the GOP and that will be that. The GOP will learn to stop playing political games and start working in a bipartisan way or the Senate and Whitehouse will let everything die in the House. The right likes predictions so here is one; the House will learn to play with others or they wil not be playing at all.

I think there might be a need for an explanation from you about what really is bi-partisan. In the beginning Obama said he would work that way and it turned out that bi-partisan, to him, meant, "my way or the highway". You said it very plainly here when you said that nothing gets done unless it originated in the Democrat controlled Senate or the White House. Do you have any idea what the majority of voters voted for in the last election? I say you don't.

I see that you don't know that spending bills must originate in the House according to the Constitution. I guess that thing surely must be nothing more than an old outdated stumbling block. How soon do you think Obama and his czars along with the Senate can get rid of the Constitution?

This Republican knows that the Constitution says spending bills must originate in the House. Now when do you think the Dems will manage to do away with the Constitution, completely? They have tried very hard but it just doesn't seem to go away.

I can just imagine the howling outrage from the Left if Bush had all these unaccountable, unconfirmed "shadow" cabinet heads making policy.

Oh, he had a few, but nothing like what obama has done.

What happened to all that rhetoric about the rule of law, and respecting the co-equal branches of government?
So "the people" were on the side of the GOP in Nov. 2010. The question is will "they" still be there when they get hit hard because of the Republican obstructionism.
