they just don't want people calling up screaming at them if the checks stop.

Easy way to defund the EPA, IRS, food stamps, anything they hate. They have admitted to this in the past.

I think the military brass is helping to draw a line in the sand for the shut-down howlers.

Yeah, they are stupid, but they're not really crazy.

Directly impacted.

The REAL impact is the $'s the 1% and MIC is scheduled to get from the Gov at the start of the fiscal year Oct 1, they are going to be the ones pissed off the most, billions are on the line.

Think it will be a tough sell to do all their flag waving and then not pay the troops. Their base has kids in the military too.

The GOP will have to rely on the M$M to confuse people into thinking it is Obama's fault.

We are getting the government we voted for

Are we having fun yet?

And if the M$M had an ounce of integrity, there would be no GOP. I place most of the blame on the media, because they have the power to change things and they not only don't, but allow things to get progressively worse and worse. Brainwashed idiot voters are always going to be brainwashed idiot voters. Always by their Best Friend, the TV.

Million voting reporters
I blame the ignorant people who vote GOP

The M$M has allowed ONE political party to rule them all. How does it feel?

And they do what ever the media tells them

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Not that they care about anyone hurting but themselves.

The right wing is full of nothing but pyschopaths.[/font]

but they aren't so they won't.

Simply, they can't let their supporters know just how much they actual benefit from government spending.

And anyone working for the government get ready. The republicans are going to financially ruin you, soon.
