In short - That is the job of the opposition, and it is the job of the Government not to let it happen!!!!

True, but in the civilized world a stalemate would mean calling a new election

Not the case here, so....

^When Boehner gets over his butthurt ego bruising the government can open again.
Clean up and down vote on the budget. Thats what the people want.

Postcards From Obama's Shutdown America

During Obama’s shutdown maneuver, visitors to the USA are not treated as well as they were under past administrations. But they can still send postcards to friends back home:

The feds will not compensate the families of fallen soldiers due to the shutdown spectacle, but they still have money to update public service announcements:

Despite the Shutdown The Military is Still Getting the Equipment It Needs

Which in the case of the Utah National Guard includes a $47, 174 mechanical bull.

Of course this is a mil-spec mechanical bull to replace the previous one that got broken. Our freedom may ride on this...
Meanwhile, the families of fallen soldiers are getting SFA...

Since when did thuglicans care about fallen soldiers? They've served their purpose.

'thuglicans' (sic)?

Uh, sabang, we're talking about the families of the fallen soldiers not receiving any death benefits because Obama is being a real dick.

This whole Spite House, Shutdown Theater is going to have lasting effects on the rest of Obama's term.

No- because the thugs partially shut down the government. Spare us your crocodile tears, Congress is ready to pass government funding as soon as the uglicans let it go to the democratic vote.

all it will take to open the government is for the republicans to put a vote on the house floor.

why are republicans afraid of a vote?

why do republicans insist on punishing the american people because of their desire to save face?

Because they are Thugs. The cynicism of this 'poor fallen soldier' stuff fills me with da urge to defecate.

Yeah, know how you feel there. Especially with Obama refusing to negotiate kinda give me gas too...

Basically, the Democrats are saying we own the government so sit down & shut up and follow our orders...

once again, when it comes to US politics of policy, you don't have any idea what you're talking about.

in the american form of government, it is not the oppositions 'job' to want to shut down the govt.

in short, get better informed.

I know that expressed generally, and even in it's most simple form, it is still to complicated for your one tracked mind to grasp, and democracy in your brain is attacking and belittling any dissent, anarchists throwing stones through shop windows, and Molotov cocktails at Police every time you don't get your way, and as a favoured pastime applaud the deaths of your own countrymen fighting and working for the freedoms that allow you nutters very existence.

US is not special, not in that regard either Fairy, if US is special in democracy political terms, it now appears that it is much like a retard in a special needs class.

In any democracy, it is the time honoured job of the opposition to discredit, create division, destabilise and disturb the policies where they differ in opinion to the Power that be, to force change, get max. possible influence on policy, force elections, and ultimately grab the power.

It is the Governments job to successfully negotiate all that, and prove they can Govern, stabilise society, bring their populations together, rather than create deeper divisions!!, create forward development, jobs, happiness and prosperity, be responsible, protect and take care of their citizens heeding to their needs before all else etc. etc.

Any failures by a Government to do the above, always rests solely on the Boss that be, trying to flush failures downwards with his manure is Bullshit, and we all know it!! even if one-tracked oafs and nutters like you refuse to admit it when the Boss plays on your team.

But it is not that long ago the shoe was on the other foot, and we all remember the hysteric blame game, and uncompromising aggressive hateful rhetoric from you nutter lot back then.

Life and circumstances is complicated, and don't always fit neatly into your box on the right and left, there are lots of boxes in-between Ray Fairy.

you just don't get it...and it seems you never will.

political parties don't force elections in the US system of govt.

and historically, the party that shuts down the govt loses power....it doesn't 'grab it'.

again, this thread is about US politics and policy....get better informed.

^^ Larv, utter nonsense. What would your view be if this happened in Denmark- the opposition saying 'defund or repeal this legislation we don't like, or we will bankrupt the government'. What if a democrat opposition said 'slash our bloated Defence budget by 50% right now, or we will bankrupt the government'? If the President gives in to this thuggery (which he won't, and the longer this goes on the closer the Thugs drive themselves to blessed extinction), then next year who's to say the Thugs won't say 'slash the social security budget by 50%, or we will bankrupt the government'? The Thuglicans have truly earned their name. This is not democracy.

If it were not for the suffering inflicted on the US people, the huge blow to US prestige worlwide, and the existential threat being posed to the US and global economic recovery, I would actually be enjoying watching the thugs squirm.

Which they always do and always will, but in a democracy the arbiter is the People. Multiple opinion Polls leave one in no doubt as to what the people think, which is why those assholes are not only Thugs, they are stoopid too.

Unpatriotic, stupid thugs. Did I mention that I really dislike the neo-'republican' party?

Yes I think you might have Sab, once or twice

Whatever the case, I dont think they have the balls to pull the trigger on October 17 and refuse to increase the debt ceiling, so its just empty posturing in the end.

They have no choice except to string in out until the bitter end and hope that the democrats lose their nerve or a miracle happens.

Got that right. The Chinese won't let 'em
