It's becoming more apparent with each passing hour, that this really is ALL about who's going to blink first!

The Democrats have certainly done an honest & amazing job at framing what's REALLY going on in DC!

The fiscal demands of the extortionists have not only met but exceeded!

This is nothing more than an attempt by extreme ideologues to circumvent women's reproductive rights!

Anyone smarter than a 5th grader can see that!

Why not ask the republicans if its unreasonable to shut it down over their pet peeve?

Let the gov. shut down. If the GOP gives in the Tea Party will remember. We are tired of baby killing liberals, minority entitlements, and gay groups like funding the arts. We hate the department of Education that is working hard to make us a multiethnic country. We don't care about these issues. We just want our country back. We will stand with Boehner if he doesn't blink. If he agrees with the leftest, socialists, communist leaning, demolition-crats America will fall. Let them shut the damn government down and keep it shut down until we can return an American to the whitehouse. This time birth certificates first!

This obsession with controlling a woman's body shows the tea party folks for who they actually are, the old so-called moral majority with a new name and a new paint job.

The facts go in one ear and out the other with you libs, and nothing in between. I have already seen the comment already, so for those of you on the left that maybe smarter than a 5th grader(all be it not many), here it is again. The liberal majority Senate and Congress was suppose to have this budget finished in October 2010. And why did they not do it? I believe now it was for two reasons. #1. They did not want to present a budget before the November 2010 election. If the American public would have seen their purposed spending, they would have taken a worst shellacking than they did. #2. The Democrats knew that by waiting after the elections,the Republicans would not go for it, then the Democrats would be able to blame the Republicans for the government shut down. And as far as planned parenthood shutting down, so be it, I as a tax paying citizen do not want to pay for the killing of unborn children. It never ceases to amaze me that liberals, will protest 18 year olds volunteering to put their lives on the line, and serve in this Nations military, but its okay to kill children who aren't even one day old yet. If they want to only provide counselling, IOU's or birth control pills, and or condoms fine. But abortions if needed, should be performed at a licenced hospital, and only in the case of rape, incest, or if mothers life is endangered by pregancy, NOT A SECONDARY FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL BECAUSE OF AN OOPS. Keep your nickers up!!!

@Feisty Redhead, I have never responded to your post mostly because they always collapse your comments. But it has always fascinatedme that the majority of your comments are cut and paste, do you do that because you learned something new on a computer or do you have to re-read comments you are commenting on because you have some sort of memory issue? And cutting non essential spending is the point, and once we get spending in line, and we are not taxing businesses into bankruptcy, the jobs will return. @Indy Lib, your President gave billions of stimulus to, GM,GE, public service workers unions, and a multitude of "green businesses". Ask him to put back into the economy the billions of unspent tarp and stimulus money, start there before you start with the hypocritical liberal mantra. You libs clean up your side of the isle first, before you say our side stinks. And ask Obama, since you people on the left are always claiming how you care more for the poor and elderly, how are these FOLKS suppose to pay for rising food prices and gas prices?

This Group would spend their money better if they simply do Ads on the Republican Women who pushed to the microphone kicking and screaming and being used for cover refused to Support their Republican Men in an effort to Shut Down Planned Parent Hood. The press conference was embrassing and just painful to watch for other women to watch. Republicans "Used These Women" and the Women Let Them"

Women won't look at this party in any positive light ever again, except those that are "Brain Washed"

When do you leave? Have a nice trip.

Most liberal women just need to open their mouths and that is the best form of birth control there is, conservative women on the other hand, are intelligent and that is the best aphrodisiac I know. And again you liberals missed the point, the rising price of gas in this country is going to harm who the most? The poor, who may need their car to look for work, and the elderly, on a fixed income still need to drive themselves to doctors appointments. And as fuel prices rise, so does the cost of food, and again the elderly are on a fixed income. So clean up your mess in your own party before you think you have the right to point fingers. Quit for once the hipocricy, you people cannot claim you are the "party that cares", and then turn around and applaud policies your party endorses, knowing full well, they are destructive. Quit pointing at "the rich" on the right and then give, George Soros, and that idiot Michael Moore a pass. Quit calling tea party members radicals, and give radical liberal organizations like Move On, Code Pink, SEIU thugs, and the New Black Panthers a pass. As I said clean up your own side of the isle FIRST, then you won't look like a bunch of HYPOCRITES when you complain about the right.

How much lying will it take before their noses grow up their backsides?

Not much more, I think.

If my tax dollars are used to pay the utilities for a building used for abortions, then I consider my money being used for abortions. Is it more complicated that that? Only if you want to cloud the issue.

Apparently many if not most Republicans don't understand economics!

They simply don't understand ecomics. It isn't about spending money, it is about what you spend money on! A Hoover damn paid back 1 trillion more in economic growth that it cost to build! That aircraft carrier provide peace and rescue is fully depreciated the minute it was built! Government deficit isn't like a business deficit, all is fully costed the second it is in service and is NEVER reflected on a positive for net worth like a business. A deficit isn't a deficit if you have a positive net worth! So, your water supply is deficit spending, but gave you a netwoth you never count! That's the difference, it isn't about spending it is about on what you spend on! Education, preventive health services, good water, transportation, clean air, energy, all add net worth to us! Networth not counted on the US balance sheets!

The most important book in the abortion debate EVER is Douglas Arone's The Theorem. If every legislator read this book, abortion would be outlawed tomorrow. He proves the fetus is conscious by showing that in the case of the autistic fetus, it actually learned in the womb. A genius accomplishment. And since you can't tell which fetus will develop autism you must by default save them all, as learning meets every standard for consciousness. God Bless You All!

But when you are simply printing money, you in fact are devaluing the dollar, and when you borrow money from the Chinese, and the interest alone on the loan, far exceeds the Nations gross national product, you are bankrupting your Nation(plus risking hyper inflation), or just "kicking the can down the road) to future generations. And so it depends on what definition of "cost" you mean. And wasteful spending is still waste. You spend money on things like mass transit(like AMTRAX has always been in the red), and most public transportation never has enough ridership to pay the cost of operation, so who subsidises it, taxpayers. And energy costs depends on the energy it produces, things like windmills and ethanol, are also heavily subsidised, by again tax dollars.The CBO and Ben Bernanke have both said, the deficit spending is unsustainable, so cuts must be made. And education is probably one of the worst of the "black holes" tax dollars are being thrown at. If the Department of Education was shut down, it would save 1 trillion dollars, talk about waste and redundancy(watch the documentary, Waiting for Superman). Government is a business, except it produces nothing, it only takes.

That's not very clear thinking Mruseurhead. Come on, you are smarter than this. If we don't educate our children, to standards better than we now do by the way, we won't be competitive. We will have to have more free handouts and become an inviable society. I am not talking about subsides, I am talking about using our creative ideas to build companies that are competitive and can supply clean energy. Those ideas are from education and R&D, be it government R&D or private. Transportation the same, not subsidize it but to make it viable with efficientcy and fair pricing of fuel. Frankly, we don't charge for the external damage petroleum combustion creates, it isn't represented in the price or in the taxes added to that price. If it were, public transportation wouldn't need subsidized, it would pay for itself, easily! And your air and water would be cleaner, and we wouldn't need nearly as much control either. I am talking about letting our intelligence form an economy that will be efficientcies to bear, and to increase that pool of intelligence by asking out kids to solve the hard problems now, while educating them. I can go on and on... but what I am saying is good economics, not willy nilly pork barrell, numb nuts subsidizing pet projects. I am talking about reducing in the long run government costs, government in general, but doing it smartly, via economic policy that makes sense.

I hope the government rips planned parenthood to shreds, (by denying them funding) just like PP rips apart innocent babies every single day. Steal the life from that sick, evil organization by denying them funding.
