Selective closures and furloughs being done are just that. Selective. Pick stuff that will make people angry and hope the MSM blames those not responsible for them. Demonize them for trying to stop what you are doing, all the while claiming they are doing it, and hope the MSM shoves that crap down the collective throats of the citizens of this country. The MSM is an absolute accomplice to the fraud that is Obama and the Democrat party...

Really? Look what I found in the Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal:

Careful Forkush......when you shove actual facts and figures at the right winger and tea bagger sheep.....they tend to get all flustered and discombobulated.

Next thing you know......we'll get a long winded, confusing, and contradictory 3 paragraph statement from Appalachian Country !

Originally posted by: pjstroh As to Don Diego's opinion about delaying the mandate in the ACA...there's nothing wrong with having different opinions and wanting to negotiate. Most Democrats would love to negotiate an entire host of issues with Republicans: Immigration Reform, gun laws, a new voting rights act...just to name a few.

Obama has unilaterally made 19 changes to the ACA without the consent of Congress or the authority granted to the President by the constitution. No need to negotiate a thing when the President believes he has ultimate power to manipulate law to exempt select specific groups from the law. When members of Congress want to actually do some of the same things for everyone affected by this law, the answer is NO. You must fund the law that I have mutated without negotiation at any level.

Democrats shut down the government 7 times while Reagan was President.

I realize that "deflect" is your new word of the day, but that chart is exactly on point. And it's from Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, so there goes your other tired argument.

Hoops is absolutely correct on that one PJ. I saw that on the local news yesterday yesterday and indeed the the admin decided they wouldn't pay for it.
But you are also correct in that the house quick;y put together a bill to make funding for whatever section that part of govt. is. Not sure if the sen. passed it or not.
