No, but doing something about our debt, our spending certainly is. But its not a principle of the current liberals and establishment

YEAs

Vote these GOP Senators out of office in your primaries:

Alexander (R-TN)
Ayotte (R-NH)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Blunt (R-MO)
Boozman (R-AR)
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Chiesa (R-NJ)
Coats (R-IN)
Cochran (R-MS)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Fischer (R-NE)
Flake (R-AZ)
Graham (R-SC)
Hatch (R-UT)
Hoeven (R-ND)
Isakson (R-GA)
Johanns (R-NE)
Kirk (R-IL)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Moran (R-KS)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Portman (R-OH)
Thune (R-SD)
Wicker (R-MS)
That they aren't childish, pandering, emotional, tea bagging whiners doesn't make them not conservative. What we have as conservatives right now are a bunch of idiots.

I mean, I get that most of the whiny faux conservatives on here don't care much about the shut down because they don't have any money in the market and don't pay much in taxes, but the real conservatives around here do.

They jumped the shark. The ground has shifted under their feet and now their once powerful grip on DC is slipping. Get ready for the crazy to get turned up to 11.

There is a huge difference between doing something, and doing something really stupid. What just happened was dumb. They tried to bluff with a losing hand, when everyone knew their cards.

It has not been the principle for either side. It has been a talking point for conservatives, but they have always added onto the debt as opposed to reducing it.

Again, bovine excrement.

EVERYONE is for "cutting spending" until it directly affects them.

Face it, we're a nation of hypocrites.

We`re all against wasteful spending including the $24 billion the childish shutdown cost us.
