Republican Congressman blames and humiliates Park Ranger for his own fail...

[RR71]

My horse?

If you think it's about win lose you should never bet on anything. Ever.

The race is over already. Your horse ran dead last.

I hardly compare this as a race..its more of watching an accident waiting to happen...

You too will be affected by this too, maybe not now..but down the road you will...

 

[jeninflorida]

Sorry Killy, but it's not a horse race, and it wasn't a bet. Both parties are fucked up, neither of them care about anything other than winning. The American citizens mean fuck-all to Democrats and Republicans alike.

some day, these welfare tards will understand that...hopefully

some day, these welfare tards will understand that...hopefully

So, are you telling me that you would actually support the creation of a third party?

I voted for Nader, does that put a wrinkle in your panty liner?

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

regardless of which side you consider yourself on, no sane person can believe that the ranger was responsible for the shut down.

 

[Busybody]

No it's not how it was passed but let's not let facts get in the way of that are you being a racist shall we

err

VOTER ID is passed in STATES by LEGAL means

AFFIRMED by SOTUS

The NIGGER AG still SUES

So STFU about THE LAW

 

[Busybody]

so I watched the VID

here you have a member of CONGRESS standing up to a NAZI STORM TROOPER .....Cunt says she is doing her job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE HAVE WE HEARD THAT BEFORE???????............for the benefit of ordinary Americans who want to enjoy the parks!


GOOD FOR YOU, CONGRESSMAN!

 

[Que]

We don't negotiate with terrorists....besides, there's nothing to negotiate.

Straight up-or-down vote on the clean CR, no tears.

I don't understand why you're so scared of a simple up-or-down vote.

I'm pretty sure Obama got elected stating his intention of negotiating with terrorists. You're thinking of Israelis.

That's one campaign promise that he is definitely kept he's clearly negotiating with the Iranians.

If Republicans were actual (islamic) terrorists he would definitely negotiate with them. And by negotiate I mean capitulate.

And why do you Obama apologist have to be so disingenuous?.... I can admit that my side is regularly quite bull headed and stupid, of course when they are they aren't actually my side. A lot of what they do is counterproductive. They're stated purpose of reducing the size of government is a sham they don't actually intend to do any of that.

It would be just a simple to ask you why are you afraid of an upper down vote on a continuing resolution that includes the de-funding of Obamacare. What would that hurt?

Alright what it would hurt is you have to go to the next election cycle admitting that despite the fact that Obama Care is not presently ready is not working And does not apply to anyone other than ordinary Americans who are going to have to pay the penalty...........

That they would rather shut down the government entirely then have that particular name brand program besmerched.

I like Thomas Sowell's approach to this debate the best. If we can't afford healthcare how can we afford healthcare and a huge Government bureaucracy to administer it?

And why is it that Obamacare is the most important pressing issue of our day? More important than jobs, more important than sound monetary policy, more important than continually borrowing money to increased the debt... nothing else is more important than his signature legislation..

Former Interior Secretary: Parks Service ‘Has a Long History of Dramatizing Budget Issues’





As Katrina reported Wednesday, House Republicans want answers from the National Parks Service (NPS) regarding its controversial actions during the government shutdown. They are particularly interested to know why barricades were erected to in front of open-air monuments such as the World War II memorial, and are concerned that NPS decisions are are being motivated by politics — intended to cause maximum disruption and public outrage. Earlier this year, GOP investigators raised questions about the parks service’s implementation of spending cuts under sequestration.

Gale Norton, who served six years under President George W. Bush as secretary of the Department of the Interior, which oversees NPS, tells National Review Online she thinks at least some of the recent closings are politically motivated.

“The National Parks Service has a long history of dramatizing budget issues by inconveniencing the public,” she says. ”They often choose the most dramatic type of action in order to get their message across. It’s something I had to guard against when I was secretary — not letting them play budget games.“

NPS has engaged in such behavior for decades, Nortons says, recalling at least one occassion during the Reagan administraiton, in which she worked as an attorney for the parks service, when NPS decided to close Skyline Drive, a scenic highway running through Shenandoah National Park, in order to make a statement during an appropriations fight on Capitol Hill.

“This is basically just a road that people can drive along, where they don’t need supervision,” she says of Skyline Drive, which is currently closed because of the government shutdown. Closing it, and other scenic parkways, not to mention barricading places like the World War II memorial, is little more than ”political grandstanding” — it may even require more manpower than it would to keep them open.

“I can see why there are places that need to be closed — historic areas that need to be protected. But when you’re talking about open-air memorials, or scenic, natural areas – those types of areas can be open to the public without the need for much monitoring,” she says. “They could make minor arrangements to allow them to stay open.” Forcing the closure of privately-operated businesses located on federal land was another example of NPS taking unnecessary action to maximize inconvenience.

“NPS has a choice to make between amplifying the political message, and making commonsense arrangements to avoid inconveniencing visitors,” she says. “I don’t see many commonsense solutions.”

Norton says that in the event of a shutdown, NPS has considerable discretion to determine which of its personnel are “essential” to its operations, but typically makes such decisions in consultation with senior administration officials.

“Given the fact that they have closed so much, and acted so broadly, I imagine that decision was made at the highest levels of park service leadership, in cooperation with department leadership and the White House,” she says.

Scenic Overlooks Not Overlooked by Obamaites




Driving down the George Washington Parkway outside Washington, D.C., today, I noticed that the two scenic overlooks that offer drivers the chance to admire the beauty of the Potomac River below are closed for the government shutdown. These overlooks are just cut-outs from the highway, providing a few parking spaces. That’s it. No little National Park Service kiosk. Nothing. It’s just a parking area that holds maybe six cars at a time.

To close them required someone to come and put up barricades, thus costing taxpayers money.

Is there anyone in the Obama administration with common sense? Do they not see how petty and over-reaching this makes them look?

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR: Government shutdown: Do national parks really need to be barricaded? The people must be punished until the regime gets its way. Just remember: The House keeps passing bills to fund this stuff, bills with nothing about defunding ObamaCare in them, and the Democratic Senate keeps killing them.

 

[FistedSister]

Boehner just said

"We didn't mean to shut down the government." The GOP owns this shutdown.

Meh, nobody wins in politics.

This is quite good. Both sides mess up. Truly WHY is obamacare more important than anything else in the nation?

This will not correct healthcare/or lack thereof issues. People still will not be covered. People will still go to the ER needing assistance.

All that will happen is that those who actually purchase healthcare will not be able to pay other bills..... so really, what did this accomplish?

Ask the Republicans why Obamacare is the most important thing in the country. They are the ones holding up progress on the issue.

This will correct the healthcare issue, less people will got the ER needing assistance and more people will pay into the system giving it more funds to cover those that do show up.

Given the susbsidies there should be very few people who can't pay other bills because of healthcare.

We passed Nigeria on the world health care rankings.

It's already corrected a lot of the problems. Pre existing conditions being only one of them. I don't think you know what the Obamacare is.

You're just listening to your defacto leadership and spewing talking points.

[Ulaven_Demorte]

The fact is that the majority of people that are against "Obamacare" start to think better of it when they find out what's actually in the Affordable Care Act. No more denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions, Federal subsidies for those who can't afford the premiums.. they have been told "Obamacare bad" so much that's a knee-jerk, uninformed reaction.

Sort of like "Green Eggs and Ham" (Thanks Ted Cruz you magnificent fucking idiot). The moral of that being "Don't decide that you don't like something before you try it."
