Biggest issue if the government shuts down?

Oh please slavery and Jim Crow = the ACA. Hyperbole much?

The best part of that is when she called the ACA "unconstitutional" and then he pointed out that SCOTUS said the opposite and like all these freaks... she just didn't want to hear it.

So when it's passed democratically, they refuse to acknowledge it.

When it's ruled Constitutional, they refuse to acknowledge it.

In other words, what congress, SCOTUS or our democracy does they are not bound by, if they don't like it.

Our economy is very fragile. Is all the doom and gloom we're hearing true? I doubt it, some of that is overdone. BUT far too many Republicans believe if we default that the repercussions will only be mild, and some are even saying the effects of a default would be good.. That's nonsense, and shows a complete lack of knowledge of the economy and current events.

But many of the GOP were around in 2008 when the economy tanked, and they didn't care or think that was a big deal either.. They did little to help the economy then. So why should they care now?

She provided it by parroting exactly what any TP member would say, and has been saying forever now. They all say this.

And they've all made clear that laws, the SCOTUS, the Constitution is only something they'll adhere to if they agree with it.

That one guy had it right: this is sort of secession by another method.

If they don't like the law, they've had three years to come up with alternatives and present them to the public. Not surprisingly, they've presented none, because they have none, because their only ideology at this point is to knock down anything that the Dems and Obama may put up.

That's not governing.

The GOP should probably not do this because the vast majority of Americans don't want them too.

How's that for a reason.

[Indy]

The TP movement is under the illusion that there is a vast "silent majority" of supporters behind them. You know, like the ones who were going to elect Mitt Romney.

Funny thing: the vast majority of Americans are moderates, and every passing day the TPM does yet another thing to alienate them.

You can already forget any support from blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Muslims, gays, pro-choice women and now probably gov't workers... hmm who's left in this "silent majority"?
