Maybe they'll shoot themselves in the foot again.

We can hope.

The GOP idiots have been obstructionist for years now, no reason for expecting any changes from them. They'll pay the price for such behavior eventually though, at the polls.

after 35 years here I am an expert on GOP asshats. Welcome to DU BillBailey!

He was also there for two unfunded wars and a tax cut we could not afford. He wants to brag on welfare reform but Clinton had already had some welfare in Arkansas before becoming president. It was the Republican president and congress who took us from the black to red on the budget. Bush never heard of a dollar he wasn't willing to spend, he took down two companies before he became president and again history repeated itself, he broke the US also.

Yeah, Let's do as this ass says and totally shut the government down.

Ground all the airplanes, because all air traffic controllers are furloughed.
No Social Security checks, because all Social Security workers are furloughed
No food inspectors on the job, watch what happens when Supermarket shelves empty.
No prison guards. Watch the fun ensue.
No FBI agents on the job. Welcome back, Dillingers, Bonnie and Clydes!
No defense budget. Just keep our soldiers in their forts.
Best of all, NO CONGRESSIONAL PAY CHECKS! Let them join in the fun.

Watch the joy that results!

for violation of his oath of office, dereliction of duty, making incendiary and dangerous public statements. Is there any way to suspend his federal welfare check also known as his salary until the ethics complaint is resolved?

Unbelievable. Or rather, very believable...

Don't these people remember anything?

But in a fog of their own making. This guy actually believes that shut down caused Clinton to come to republican thinking and that's what created the surplus. Kind of like Grover just claiming it was republicans that voted to lower taxes after they were increased by the fiscal cliff fiasco. They're just delusional.

the one we've had for the last four years?

For example, here is Gloria Borger of CNN:

And so Washington begins the next hurdle: the debt ceiling, playing at a theater near you in February. All villains, no heroes.

Democrat president and republic Congress.

I think the best follow-up question would be, "And what happened to that surplus under a GOP president?"

How long would that government shutdown last if THEY were the ones getting hosed?

It looks like he's doing a drunken fart noise during improv comedy night, and I think it sums up the guy's statement pretty well.

This guy is a fucking moron. The last government shutdown didn't drive Clinton in a different direction, it drove the GOP bandwagon off a cliff. It cost the GOP 8 seats in the House and insured Clinton's reelection.

It seems to be the only thing they are good at.

GOP can go fuck itself!

and remind me again where that surplus went?
Oh, THAT'S right.

If they want a gov't. shutdown, (I.E., shoving a knife into their own eye) I'm not real inclined to stop them at this point. Let em suffer.

I'm sick to death of your slurs.

Please proceed, Congressman.
