Government shutdown time!

[Jesse]

This is really better than any soap opera I have ever seen on daytime TV.
Senator Cruz is doing the only thing possibly human he can do. he is litterly talking until he is blue in the face

Interestingly enough, I don't know much about him. but I have been watching him for the last few hours, and he does make some good points for a peanut with a top hat.  and, really. its like this everytime your current party isn't in power. bitch and complain about how you don't like the agenda being pushed through, (the democrats have done this aswell, in the past) so you guys Non-Essential government activities will be suspended on Oct. 1st unless my some miraculous event the republicans let up on the dick fucking their pussy currently. (Obamacare)

One thing that I did note in listening to Cruz speak is how he "Cares" about young people and how they wont be able to find a job because of Obamacare. Holy shit, I Loled then. Hard! 

How do you think the current debacle in congress will play out?

[conlang returns]

I am quite confident that the Tea Party will get their way yet again.  I've even stopped signing petitions to congress or the president.  Waste of time.  It's time to take matters out of their hands.

I don't believe the tea party will win this war. they don't have the votes in the senate, the only house they control is the house.

So, one of two things will happen.

1. the government will shut down
2. or obamacare will be inacted

Harry Reid will gut the provision in it that defunds Obamacare which in turn will make the Budget Null that congress passed, so the Government will shut down.

Or atleast that's how I understand it, I could be wrong.

They don't need the Senate.  We need them to pass a budget or another one of the ridiculous "continuing resolutions" that basically says the government will spend the money it has already promised to spend.  Then the debt ceiling is coming up.  They can do basically whatever they want, as long as that doesn't include passing legislation, which clearly it doesn't.

Meh. They're all idiots. Third graders have better negotiating skills.

[sg1008]

Meh. They're all idiots. Third graders have better negotiating skills.

They are not actually trying to negotiate.

[McGiver]

It's all politics.....and money.
Cruz is simply trying to make a name for himself with the tea party base so that he can run for president in 2016 and lose.
Then he will sell his memoirs for money.


It is my understanding that most republicans in the house hate him.  They are simply giving him enough rope to hang himself

[RageBeoulve]

Cruz is a faggot, but so are all other politicians. Also: I don't see any negotiating. I see a bunch of shitflinging and men of power forcing their wills on everyone around them.

[Jesse]

It is funny watching these bitches trying to pin the tail on the donkey. who will cause the government shutdown? will it be Obama? because he wants to fund a law already in existence? Or, will it be the Butthurt party? the guys who threw everything at this exept the kitchen sink and yet couldn't kill it?

Will there heroics pay off? stay tuned ladies and gentleman until next time to find out who the American people take a shit on!

Obamacare will be enacted regardless of governmental shutdown.  80% of the funds used for Obamacare are mandatory spending not subject to Congressional appropriations.  That's where this fight becomes really stupid, as it literally cannot be won.

i am so turned on by you.

[conlang returns]

The only real victory possible will be in getting people so fed up with the current state of the federal government that they change who gets to control it.

The Affordable Care Act really does it for you?

the idea that so many who currently cannot receive decent health care will undr the ACA is fucking great.

  If the government is shut down, I predict that Lit will move over here!
