As the U.S. government enters week two of Shutdown 2013, the Tea Party members who created this mess have gone bipolar. In the Senate, it’s a pity party. Over in the House, manic glee.
Sen. Ted Cruz took to the Senate floor on Friday to whine that Democrats were invoking his name as the “root of all evil in the world.”This grandiose self-pity exaggerates the plaint. He is the root of only one evil, at least so far: the government shutdown. His Tea Party sidekick, Sen. Mike Lee, cried to radio host Hugh Hewitt after a meeting with displeased GOP colleagues, “It was an all-out attack against Ted Cruz and me. It was unflattering. It was unfair. It was demeaning.”
Two grown men were giving us this crybaby routine as it was reported that actual babies were to go without formula, thanks to them.Almost nine million mothers and their children are at risk of having their benefits under the Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) program slashed or frozen. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has found stopgap funding, but warns that if the shutdown goes beyond October they will run out of money.
Bachmann said she never saw her party so happy that they were winning the argument but folks it's not the argument it's what they will impose on us if they do win, we are not just dealing with crooked giggle with glee republican congress people we are dealing with their base of "they say it we believe it, even though we are ones included in those they are saying they want to deny life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
the more who realize that reality the less the chances of us having to go through this again, at least in our lifetimes.
Republicans have a little history of magnifying their minor personal slights in an unseemly contrast to the real effects on regular people from government shutdowns. In 1995, then-Speaker Newt Gingrich earned himself an infamous Daily News cover as an oversized bottle-wielding infant after he told a reporter he’d shut down the government because President Bill Clinton made him sit at the back of Air Force One.
When you contrast these temper tantrums with the real problems of the world, it makes these erstwhile leaders seem petty and out of touch with reality. The Centers for Disease Control, where two thirds of the staff have been furloughed, announced yesterday they have “ceased monitoring flu outbreaks and unfamiliar strains of it since the government shutdown.”Last week, the CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden told CBS News, “I usually don’t lose sleep despite the threats that we face, but I am losing sleep [over the shutdown] because we don’t know if we’ll be able to find and stop things that might kill people.” ]Over at the NIH Clinical Center, an estimated 200 patients will be turned away by the each week of the shutdown, including about 30 children, many of them with cancer. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, told the Associated Press, “This is the place where people have wanted to come when all else has failed. It’s heartbreaking.”
this is what they are cheering for, this is what their base will suffer along side of the rest of us, they deny their base complies as soon as they are recognized as the charlatans they are the sooner we will see America meet it's perceived reputation.
together we stand divided we fall they are saying Pres. is trying to divide us if so why the fight to give us all health car, fair salaries, housing when that label more appropriately fits around their necks? who makes the statements introduces the bill that divide us who gerrymanders, who suppress voters, figured it out yet?
