Why do they have so much power and what idiots cannot figure that out?<br /><br />What these idiots do not understand is that if they were to get what they want and the government shrunk down to where they want it, they would get hurt just as bad as those they are trying to "defund".<br /><br />Sure, they "got theirs" now, but they didn't get it by themselves and they would quickly lose it if the government "shrunk" to that extent.<br /><br />They just cannot picture in their minds how America would be if all of the entitlement programs ceased to exist.born2Bmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089087764341576162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-61671411875533696852013-08-06T13:53:23.984-05:002013-08-06T13:53:23.984-05:00Here is part of the problem:

Robert Pittenger (R-NC) received an earful Monday at a town hall after he said that he will not be backing efforts to defund Obamacare and risk a government shutdown.<br /><br />http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/gop-rep-grilled-by-tea-party-at-town?ref=fpb<br /><br />It’s a town-hall meeting where a tea party advocate who thinks he’s up on parliamentary procedure, but after he opens his mouth, it’s clear to anyone that he’s just plain stupid.<br /><br />He wants a plain yes or no answer from Rep. Pitttenger about shutting down the government over Obamacare…He correctly states that the House GOP controls the appropriations but he’s wrong to think they can defund a law without a 2/3 majority of Congress and the president’s signature.<br /><br />Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz are misinforming the sheep of their party and working their constituents like a giant pyramid scheme. <br /><br />Watch the vid and you’ll get the picture.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-12092772959655222722013-08-06T13:27:48.022-05:002013-08-06T13:27:48.022-05:00We might be talking about the same thing only I pr...We might be talking about the same thing only I prefer to use the word ideology instead of game.<br /><br />There’s a small group of people who take advantage of parliamentary procedures to make sure that government does not advance society. They have a limited vocabulary such as “tax cuts, no tax increases, too much regulation.” …. They take the Grover Norquist approach of “reducing the size of government until it can fit inside a bath tub where you can drown it.”.. It’s a greedy philosophy of “I’ve got mine.” … They’re the ones who will balk at extra 68¢ for a Big Mac or the extra 14¢ at Wal-Mart, so workers can get a decent wage and benefits.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-73920078220041881322013-08-06T12:37:59.267-05:002013-08-06T12:37:59.267-05:00It's sad to say, I think it's all turned i...It's sad to say, I think it's all turned into a game for a lot of people.

It's also true that some people can't get beyond the next political conquest. <br /><br />People like Rick Perry,Rick Santorum,Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert can take their daily cheap shots because they will never be in the position to make presidential decisions.
