I found a picture of Diablos somewhere in the union states.

Can you imagine how much progress we could have made without them?

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES

[RurouniZel]

Let me explain. Repubs and their donors won a victory in 2010 partly because they whipped up their paranoid voters into thinking Obama and by extension Obamacare was the great evil. Now they have to either "win" or go back and explain to these people that the socialist government has taken over.

I get that, but this is a losing battle and at some point people need to learn to accept they've lost a battle, at least for now.

Hey guys, I was at work all day. What did I miss?

 

[Black Mamba]

I'm melting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Piecake]

Now if Obamacare hits some bumps, democrats can simply blame it on Republicans shutting down the govt. I swear, the tea party doesnt have a strategic/political bone in its body. Its all pure idiotic ideology

Yep them and their constituents can hopefully accelerate their life cycle and expire on life early.

So it begins:

Remember this day

Never change, Reid

Just keep running west. Its your only hope.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Why is gaf still up?

Just keep running west. Its your only hope.

He gets a few more hours if he makes it to Hawaii

 

[Grakl]

that pic is scary

 

[remist]

Over or under 7 days?

I say over.

 

[polyh3dron]

GG, teatards.

I say over too. About 3 weeks is my guess just because of how entrenched the House GOP is and how much they fear primary challengers. I don't think it'll go as long as the Gingrich shutdown because that one was partial. This one is going to hurt a lot more.

 

[mightynine]

[Drakeon]

Over or under 7 days?

I say over.

Depends how fast public opinion turns against them. With that in mind, I say 5-7 days.

 

[789shadow]

Over or under 7 days?

I say over.

Wild stab at 2 weeks.

 

[Oblivion]

There's really one good thing that's come out of this idiocy. It decreases the odds of having a fight over the debt ceiling.

How do you figure?

 

[DEO3]

How do you figure?

If the Democrats caved on this, it would've only encouraged them.

 

[bananas]

Anyone with a brain wouldn't let this last more than a week.

So it'll last for three weeks. Things get so bad for the GOP that they agree to a budget with pre-sequestration cuts and raises the debt ceiling.

All this is done by breaking the Hassert rule, of course.

 

[B-Dubs]

How do you figure?

This'll get the fight out of their system now, by the time we have to do the debt ceiling they won't have had time to recover.

I love your optimism. You're like the anti-Diablos.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Over or under 7 days?

I say over.

Over. 9 days.

 

[polyh3dron]

Now that we're shut down I hope the Dems put sequestration cuts on the table. GOP put us here so the blame is on them.

 

[gcubed]

Happy ObamCare!!!!!!

Drinks on me!!

 

[thepotatoman]

Over or under 7 days?

I say over.

Like I said, 16 days. We're taking this into the debt ceiling debate.

 

[Diablos]

This'll get the fight out of their system now, by the time we have to do the debt ceiling they won't have had time to recover.

Knowing the tenacity of the Tea Party they'll just regroup and prepare for another hissy fit. The question is if Boehner will continue to tolerate it.

The man has absolutely no spine.

 

[kingkitty]

I think the government will shutdown until the Republicans win the Senate and the White House.

 

[B-Dubs]

Over or under 7 days?

I say over.

My gut says under, but my gut also acted upon the assumption that Boehner is a ratoinal player in this situation and that this wouldn't happen, so I'm going with over. This'll last until the debt ceiling fight.

 

[j_k_redtail]

My gut says Boehner finally runs to the Democrats to open the government back up again, and has to do the same for the debt ceiling hike.

 

[East Lake]

60 days. Who's with me.

 

[B-Dubs]

Yep. Let's hope it ONLY goes that far.

That's the hard line, all the big money donors will start lobbying the GOP to get a rise in the debt ceiling. It may or may not last that long, but if it does that will be the ending date.

My gut says Boehner finally runs to the Democrats to open the government back up again, and has to do the same for the debt ceiling hike.

I agree with both, the question is when though.

 

[Oblivion]

Yup. This shutdown thing should cause all the little tea party tykes to tucker themselves out.
