• Aren't they still negotiating, as agreed upon at the time, the Sequester??

  • Um hmm/ Negotiating, that's it.

• Notice this all happened right after a "Meeting" with Quagmire? You don't suppose the meeting was a notice that be prepared to have all the illegal shit you've done in the past to suddenly surface if I don't get my way.

• Best of all... they hand over the chance to leverage more crisis in six weeks when this can all be repeated. This entire mess of a government needs to be forcibly expunged- the progs clearly have no intention of deviating from their destructive policies- I have little doubt they are aware of the economic destruction being done.... it most likely is the chief executive radical's intent to leave this countries economy in shambles.

• Grand old party my ass!

  • Love the Avatar!

    • Speaking of avatars, how does one change it?

      • Pretty easy.. You registered to IHTM with an email, presumably. So head over to gravatar.com and create an account with the same email, put an avatar up, and the sites will sync it all

• I have done a lot of negotiations, sold a lot of machines and never have I said I want $100000, the other side said I will give you 80000 and then said OK I will sell it to you for 70000. This is what happened today by the GOP. They gave away things that were not even on the table.

  I'm afraid this is the day that GOP died. There will now be a three party system and sadly the evil democrat party will be in control. Soon the GOP will be not much more than the green party. as n elite minority will become democrats (as if they were not already) and there will be the core Tea Party. I will not change my party affiliation so i can primary every establishment candidate I can.

• Cowards, all cowards.

• I just want to puke. It makes no sense. They are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and as dumb as I think they are they are not that dumb. It's time to say the obvious: something is going on behind the scenes that has undermined their integrity. Treason, blackmail, something.

  • Was ther ever any doubt? In a country where Obama was elected twice? Where 110% of voters voted one way? Of course thee is back room dealing going. Sad, but standard procedure. Maybe someone is channeling LBJ.

  • The "stand" they took is most likely political theater- intent on keeping any real reform from happening by creating the illusion that we're being heard.

  • They're ALL compromised. Our entire system is run on blackmail.

• The cowards just cant stop with the caving and running from a fight. Stand up or go the way of the Whigs. Coulter is right, its time to do away with the republican party and start over.

  This bunch of pussies have the chance to correct the cluster that has been created by quagmire. Yet they are paying attention to one skewed push poll that is blaming them for the shut down. Well if they wish to listen to the likes of Rove and Morris, then let them. That way all of them can be looking for new jobs and employment else where. Remember fools, it was these two along with others that kept telling the "establishment" that McCain and Romeny could win. We saw what happened when two middle of the road republicans ran an inept campaign.

  At least there will be true Americans in DC this weekend. The veterans demanding that the Mall be opened for all.

  • What they're counting on is the one thing that scares the shit out of me.
    If enough people are disgusted enough with RINOs, we will lose the House, Senate, and White House, and be relegated to at least 4 more years of an unstoppable express train to hell, with Hillary at the throttle!

    • That's a nightmare scenario! I am concerned that the Dems aren't trotting out a ny potentials for the next Presidential run. That means they are going with Hilary (@!@) or obamarama is going to suspend el e ctions and hang around. Both ideas are frightening!

    • Hopefully the carnage only happens during the primaries.

      • I just can't help but remember the last Presidential Election.
        Plain depressing.

        • The last five years have been a nightmare for the Republic.

        • Here's more proof of that!

  • Each party represents awide variety of beliefs and political stances. I suspect that that a number of Representatives realized that if they DIDN'T blink and put a stop to the nonsense, they wouldn't be in office come January 2015. Not all Republicans agree with the Tea Party stance, just as no all Democrats thnk Obama is the Messiah (though granted, those who don't are pretty hard to locate.)

  • You can see the rats in Washington scurrying to open the landmarks before the vets get there this weekend. They know there will be a huge stink if a single vet gets arrested. They could kiss their pathetic careers goodbye.

• I am so damned pissed off at this I can't think straight.

• Hey GOP! Good luck finding voters newly minted from the amnesty pool to replace all of us you've now driven away. . . forever.
