So we'll see what happens.
That will be interesting.

this is why the GOP will not win in 2016. They keep following this money, and its ostracizing the sane moderates who would otherwise be supporting the GOP establishment. its gonna cause problems in the primaries, again, and the moderate candidate who gets the nomination will have to move way right, again, and be seen as not genuine by the undecideds.


Mark my words, Christie will get the nod, then he'll try to rally the base by claimi by he's always hated Obama, unions, abortions, and gays, and the marginal amount of moderates he needs to win the national election will go "wait what? thats not what you said 6 months ago, I'm voting for Hillary."

Good Walker! Now, there is a leader. What trash we have in the Senate majority and the White House. We ought to drape the White House in mourning bunting. I'd pay my 'fair' share of the cost.

How can a sitting two term President not be qualified to be President?

You have confused qualifing and performance. You like to argue the latter, but still remain confused of the first.

When I hear this dumb bunny speak, I want to throw something at the TV. How could our fellow citizens have done this to us? Did they check their brains before entering the voting booth?

You know - you pretty much said absolutely nothing of substance here. Yes - the state puts in money so they have control. Yes if the government paid in 100%, THEY would have control.

There is no spin here. I'm sure a Dem governor would have complied with the feds even though most of the funding was from the state.

Why? Because they put funding into the park. You know how the feds work... if they put any money into some endeavor, they think they own it, and control it. And in the end, you are correct in their motives.

I am sure the administration of "1-800-318-2596" will be vindictive enough the remove all funding from their parks at some point. They will get them back somewhere along the line.

I'm glad that at least you wouldn't grandstand and go up to a Park Ranger, get in their face, and start projecting why the park closures was all their fault.

I stand corrected. But I thought intelligence was a given (in terms of qualification). Perhaps it's not.

I don't want to shock you too much but some of us are capable of thinking for ourselves. I don't lick anybody's boots and I certainly know enough to recognize hype when I see it. Some people never say anything else but hype because they are incapable of logical thought. When you have no management and no solution; just figure out how to blame it on someone else. In this case, tell everyone the Republicans did it.

The way I see it the Republicans are the only working part of D. C.

Correction: The Republicans are the only working people in America.

Are you a Republican or the other 47%. LOL
