The Government Shutdown Countdown Lowdown MEGATHREAD

It's only obstructionist if it's the other side.  If it's your side, you're "principled".

Exactly.  Case in point, the attempt to defund GW2.

They ever shut down the government on that?

They ever shut down the government on that?

Exactly the same number of times as it has been shut down during the Obama administration.

Fair enough, though I may repeat the question a few days from now.  What exactly were the bills then that would have defunded the Iraq war, and when were the funding crises?

There's a bit of a PR problem between trying to put the brakes on an unpopular, unnecessary war 5 years after it started, compared to shutting down the government in order to prevent people from obtaining healthcare.

I mean, I know you don't want me to have insurance, and I'm cool with that, but think of the little children who may need it.  Like, babies and shit.

If they want healthcare the damned well better have been born wealthy.

So is Siege going to going to get paid on time?

Didn't we already see they won't have any money till they are in their 30s? All my good years will be through with by then.

Funny you mentioned unpopular & unnecessary, as Obamacare is both.

Guess it depends on which sound vacuum you're in.  It's pretty popular and, as it turns out, pretty necessary, over here.  Maybe it's different for you guys over in Cracker Dumbfuckistan.

[Jacob]

They're not shutting down the government over Obamacare? That's good

You figure they'll blow up the full faith and credit of the US over Obamacare?

How much longer until the spellcheck is OK with Obamacare?

Heh

[Admiral Yi]

Nope.
