Why do cons/repubs from here and elsewhere defend these corrupt repubs in congress

[Billy000]

It's as though admitting these congressional republicans are acting like toddlers by causing the shutdown somehow means they are admitting the ideology of the right itself is bullshit. I mean come on, you can still buy into Republican politics in general and still admit the GOP in congress is in the wrong.

It's one thing to blame Obama for directly causing the shutdown, it is quite another to not put any blame on Ted Cruz and his band of tea baggers. By taking such radical and unethical measures to get rid of ObamaCare, they are America's enemies.

Come on USMB cons/repubs: grow up. Accept facts for what they are. All the polls show that the general American public does.

BQ: Boehner said "the white house owns this shut down". Are you telling me this statement is not at all bullshit?

Well that was certainly convincing. I'll run right down to the courthouse this morning to change my party affiliation.

Starting your day off with a big bowl of "stupid" I see.

IMO- Another fine day when Odummers agenda of tyranny and complete disregard to the Constitution is challenged

The House has the power of the purse to reel in an unlawful POTUS when impeachment is not pursued

Good times

Hardcore partisans create and exist in ideological bubbles. They apparently believe that they're "fighting" for some "truth" or "cause", but they're really just mucking things up.

Both "ends".

The rest of us, the majority, can only roll our eyes, shake our heads, and wish these narcissistic, intellectually dishonest people didn't have so much influence.

Hey....psssssst....yeah you...for the same reason the Democrats defend the corrupt Democrats who are equally refusing to negotiate....both of you are little foot soldiers for your party masters.
Both parties are wholly corrupt and only care about you in the sense that as long as you keep eating the pile of shit they feed you - they stay in power.
Baaaaaa.....Baaaaaa

Liberals are a mindless Collective parroting back and doing whatever their leadership tells them to

Even SecTres Lew got on TV and outright lied about Obama's refusal to negotiate.

There's no hope for us living together; we are once again, a nation divided

 

[Geaux4it]

Sam Zell is on Squawk Box at the moment and is killing it. He is making points on how Obama sits on high and looks down upon the subjects and say's my way or no way. He goes on to point out how no other POTUS ever got away with that. Not Bush, Clinton et al. Called it the regime at the "Imperial Whitehouse"

Obama needs stopped by any legal means.

While the country became divided over slavery, I think now the feelings are boiling again over how a small majority is impacting our god given rights. To your point, I think our cup is about to runneth over again.

Keep your powder dry and smoke em if you got em.

See here's the difference between you and me. I can admit that there are democrats in congress who are corrupt. You can't for Repubs. And regardless with how democrats are in general, there is no denying that in this particular case, the Republicans are the ones who are being cry babies.

If Democrats had not used every dirty trick in the book to pass Obamacare originally we wouldn't be here now. BUt their refusal to build a consensus caused an atrocity of a bill to be passed. The provisions of Obamacare are so aweful and will cause such harm to the economy and ordinary citizens that the GOP is right and righteous in pulling out all stops to oppose it.

Pelosi and Obama said, 'We can't wait', We have to act quickly. You have to pass the law to know what's in it.

Now we know what's in the law can't be defined. Endless reports of a website in the works for 3 years runs like many expected a government entity to run. FUBAR

I hate partisans that can't think that maybe if they ever got their way = they'd hate it. Just think about America going back to 1791 for a second and you will understand that isn't good for anyone.

We live within a much different world.

Probably investing in infrastructure and science educaiton would make all the difference, right?

I'm not a Rep or a Dem and I think both parties suck. These guys earn a pretty good living, retirement and benefit package at our expense. I doubt any of them give shit one.

Of course in this instance I blame the Dems. I really see nothing wrong with putting this POS bill off for a year. After all look at all the waivers and extentions out there.

The Dems foisted this POS bill on the American people and the only winners will be those we taxpayers are forced to subsidize.

This POS is going to break the bank.

 

[Billy000]

How would you cons have reacted if the dems had shut down the government to undermine the Bush tax cuts that have greatly contributed to our national debt? Bush was more reckless than Obama by a long shot.

However I will admit Obama fucked up big time by extending them.

why do the dims here defend the corrupt dims in congress and in the WH?
