   Nothing of the sort is amazing, considering the 1984, upside down, inside out world of manipulation and lies most Americans live in. It’s an alternate reality, and they won’t realize it until they are starving or there’s a jackboot on their neck.

   Kabuki theatre and Social Engineering are powerful forces. You couldn’t invent better device than the television to launch a mass scale assault on the sheeple mind.

   Per The Hill link:

   “The bill the House will vote on tonight is not an honest effort at compromise. It fails to provide the relief that our fellow Americans need as they struggle to rebuild their lives in the wake of floods, wildfires and hurricanes, and it will be rejected by the Senate,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said in a statement Thursday night before the House vote.

   “I was optimistic that my House Republican colleagues would learn from their failure yesterday and move towards the middle. Instead, they moved even further towards the Tea Party.”

   According to the aforementioned Chad Pergram:

   Both Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) are emphatic that the House is adjourning Friday afternoon for an entire week. In effect, that could force the Senate to accept the House-passed bill. After all, if the House isn’t in session, there’s no way to “ping-pong” the package back and forth until the two chambers are in synch. In essence, the House is jamming the Senate. But what if Reid and other Democrats elect to stay and fight? That could spawn a government shutdown late next week and leave FEMA swinging in the balance. This is also frought with political peril. If the Democrats put up a fight, it is entirely possible that Republicans could then blame “Senate Democrats” for holding up the funding and pin the responsibility on them for a government shutdown.

   From taking hostages to abandoning children—the Tea Party is a disgrace.

   “This House is badly broken,” added Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.). “This Republican leadership is out of touch. This process is a disgrace.”

   (The Hill)

   Darn, I was hoping I’d be the first to use that word.

   Democrats will complain no matter if the Republicans use a machete or a scalpel. They’re more partial to silicone injections.

   And where’s the Tea Party?

   We need more 2 million marches on DC.

   Oh wait, those people disappeared after November 4th….

   Nothing’s changed since the 2010 elections. Absolutely nothing. And the Tea Party is acting like things have.

   So, when is the next 2 million march on DC scheduled? Bueller? Bueller?

   Flash. Pan.

   I’m going to miss this country. The Marxists have won.

    I say let the Government shut down. Essential services will continue and that is all the Tea Party wants the government to do. Essential services is the definition of small government.

    Who knew Harry is a closet tea partier.

    The GOP doesn’t want to cut spending. These politicians are all in the same ivory tower.

    After 8 months of Republican control of the House we still have 300 redundant government agencies and programs (GAO), excessive foreign aid, $16 muffins, and $99,000 luncheons.

    Instead of tax increases and entitlement cuts, how about if we start by cutting the above? If they can’t even grab the low hanging fruit, how can anyone believe anything at all will change?

    Exactly. If we had real leadership in the House they would tell Reid we passed a budget now either pass it or come up with your own version, but till then we are done talking. The Dem’s want the CR’s to continue because you can’t cut things like Obamacare out of them.

    As long as CONgress sees it can get away with not passing a budget, you may be right.

    Some say their Congressional rep is good or bad. Think about how most of them have been in Wash, DC for a long, long time. What have any of them done. What agencies have closed, what savings made, what duplications and redundancies have been eliminated, what fence has been built, what, if anything, has been done? And, we the people have accepted all of this non-action. Why? They will not term-limit themselves….we can and must do it for them. On your job, if you underperform for even a very short time, you will be terminated for nonproductivity. Congress hasn’t produced anything beneficial for this country for 40-50 years and we allow that?
    Shame on us.

    I just put this on another thread, but it is more appropriate here! The bill just passed in the dead of night last night by the House contained a 1.7 TRILLION dollar CUT in clean energy projects. A CUT. How big is that monster anyway? This is the Solyndra, etc. stuff. And I want to know how big the clean energy budget actually is!!! If they are trying to cut 1.7 TRILLION from it, the budget must be unbelievable! Of course, Reid is livid and won’t even consider passing the bill. Here we go again. And don’t blame the Republicans for this one…they are trying!

    We are heading for another government shut-down emergency, brought to you by the Tea Party, of course, because they want to pass a bill that actually HELPS this country SURVIVE! I want Harry Reid arrested for treason…NOW!

    I maintain that our two party system is so broken that we are unable to get a grip on it. It’s out of control because Liberals have pushed us so far to the left over the years, with the help of weak Republicans, that we no longer have any room left for compromise.

    If we give any more, we are lost, because we give up all that remains of what we stand for. On the other hand, we don’t have enough control (the Senate and the White House) to do anything meaningful on our agenda, except say no.

    The gridlock we see will only be broken if one of the two parties manages to take total control of our government, including the Supreme Court. Our agenda will have to be shoved down the throats of the Liberals, whether they like it or not, if we win. Theirs will surely be shoved down our throats if they win.

    That’s the political rality of the times we live in. What kind if a Nation are we going to leave our children and grandchildren? For the first time in recent history, that’s a major concern.
