Democrats threaten gov't shutdown.
Quote | Reply
So wait a minute? The democrats called republicans obstructionist, and the media skewered the republicans for daring to shut down the gov't, yet when democrats disagree with something like building a wall or defunding planned parenthood and are willing to shut down the gov't to prevent that, they are doing their job.

You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

No. You got it right. But see, the left is righteous in it's actions and the Republicans are evil do'ers. It's that simple.

Just my normal bitch, the spin the media has and at this point it's more of an assumption that anything I've seen. If it's objective, I'll apologize after I get over being shocked.

I did and I'm not particularly concerned if the dems do either. They should be consistently held to the same regard or disdain by others.

Oh it definitely isn't objective.

That's never going to happen. Certainly not while Trump is in the GOP anyway.

Last night I heard Mark Levine and he was talking about this, but he took the stance that if it was good for the democrats to bitch and complain, it is good for the republicans. I take the different stance, anybody who supported the gov't shutdown under Obama and Reps, should support it here. Anybody who didn't under the other, should be equally mad at democrats for pulling this stunt.

To me, a shut down is always a good thing. The only problem I see is that too many positions I find as non-essential get classified as such, and even those who were temporarily dismissed get back pay. I like seeing gov't bureaucrats go without or suffer job insecurity like most Americans.

This.

It's sad how they close recreation areas that don't need so they can get pubic outrage.

I really do consider myself a centrist, so to the extent that you believe me:

My observation is that Democrats are better at Politics* than Republicans. They stay in-line better too. This will be seen as the Republicans fault and the feckless Republican response will be to blame the media.

*Trump has been better at Politics than anyone so far. But he hasn't tried to get a bill passed yet so...

When was that because there was never a shutdown. There was however a lot of fear mongering and vindictive actions by the Executive branch. Screw the GOP for not having the spine to actually give them what they claimed and instead giving the crazy left a blank check. Thats one of the reasons the GOP leadership needs to go.

Bingo. Add to it lying to those receiving SS and the military. Lies on top of lies and yet not a peep from so many who now somehow have a voice.

No. He has played the game as well as anyone thus far but shit doesn't get serious until he gets a bill passed. I am not a hypocrite: if he gets meaningful legislation passed I won't dispute his effectiveness as a politician.
