Poll after poll shows more convincingly that Americans don't want the government shut down to try to defund or delay ACA.jmog;1515798 wrote:Poll after poll has proven that American's don't want it (ACA/Obamacare). So when one of the 2 sides grows the balls to try to get rid of something that the American people don't want, you blame them?
How about the Ds listen to their constituents and work to get rid of it as well?
I think it's funny that you say "stop with the blame game"...have you actually WATCHED/HEARD what the Ds (Carney, Pelosi, Reed, and many others) have said over the last 2 weeks?
Come on, they are playing Chicago style politics and calling the Rs terrorists for crying out loud.
I think that is reasonable policy wise, given the mess with the website and all the bugs.queencitybuckeye;1515841 wrote:As a compromise, the Republicans, as I understand it, would accept a one year delay in the individual mandate to match the employer mandate that Mr. Obama delayed in spite of having no legal authority to do so. This is in no way unreasonable, but the Democrats are determined to take away the "Party of No" designation.

Precisely. I'm up to my eyeballs effin tired of the liberal media portraying this as a one-sided Tea Party-only issue.queencitybuckeye;1515841 wrote:Anyone who believes this shutdown isn't bipartisan is himself a partisan hack.

We only have ourselves to blame.
You mean the 17% "shutdown"? I don't think most American's even know how little of the Government is actually shut down. They believe the media and think this is Armaggedon. This "shutdown" isn't even enough to run the government at no deficit, even with 17% shutdown we are still running a deficit.I Wear Pants;1516095 wrote:Poll after poll shows more convincingly that Americans don't want the government shut down to try to defund or delay ACA.

Disgraceful that the imposter in the WH has delved this low ---- just disgusting.
True. But the greater political stunt of barricading memorials and forcing people off federal property seems to evade you. It does not solve any problems either. Seems to be more of a punitive act to me.ptown_trojans_1;1517463 wrote:What at a nice political stunt.

Actually, the workers there are more volunteers than anything else.
Like any human being they despise being a jerk for political purposes. I'd turn a blind eye as well. If they are banned from doing maintenance or safety work what purpose at all are they serving?ptown_trojans_1;1517492 wrote:And really, they are turning a blind eye to most people.

Change we can believe in ...
Shouldn't the quota be 150 LESS applications per month? You know...that whole idea of getting off the gubmint dole and living via your own means? Nah....that's fucking old thinking.Devils Advocate;1519474 wrote:You have finally gone full Teatard.
The quota is for clerks to process 150 applications a month. They are clerks you Idiot. They are not out on the street, pulling people aside and asking "hey man, you want some food stamps"
The message is process 150 applications. It has nothing to do with approvinf the apllications ao getting people to apply fo stamps. It ha to do with the quantity of work tht they do in a month.QuakerOats;1519509 wrote:Why should there be a quota; what is the message?
