The shutdown IS their compromise.The Tea Party you mean? Last time I checked, they were fine with shutting down everything except the Washington Monument.
The Tea Party had no Plan B in case their faction failed to derail the ACA. They have no idea what they want, so they are sitting around, waiting for the Democrats to make an offer. It’s not like they think the government provides many essential functions, anyway… they are zombie reps.
What Mr. Gorrell has failed to show are the lobbyists and superpac representatives who are holding the checks to which the above party symbols are reaching. Nor do we see the pile of humanity representing the American working class and businessmen who want to invest in their nation upon whose backs these two self serving animals are standing.^http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTKmjhJ1__o^http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFwSzZQ4MVI^http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGKU8awk7Vg^http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN1iI-DaJNw^http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_s-Qk07KxA^Respectfully,C.
My point exactly, Lichtentunes (lightmusic?)Just as companies who exported jobs overseas and import those products to sell in the USA, Microsoft should have to pay an increased import tax on the products installed on our computers and other technical devices. Money is a finite quantity and for them to hide it and prevent it from benefiting the American people whose tax dollars given to business and colleges went into the creation of computers, the internet and all of the other benefits from which Microsoft has profited is a form of theft and disrespect. A nephew who was given great gifts by his Uncle Sam abandons that uncle in the name of greed.Thank you for your excellent reply and your many other thoughtful and civil replies I’ve read in the past.Sincerely,C.

Thank you Radish, but despite links to video and even Fox news video, there is a hardcore group that refuses to believe anything other than Obama being the sole cause of this mess.He has some ownership, but it’s Boehnor refusing to allow a vote. There is the true lack of negotiation, but it goes against the story the extreme right wants to put forward, therefore, it’s not real.It will be interesting to see what happens next week. The gov’t shut down during a time when our soldiers are at war, and the debt ceiling crisis about to land on us.Sadly,C.
Obama agreed to a $70 billion budget cut, Boehner accepted the offer, which was a deeper cut than Ryan’s original budget and close to his most recent suggestion..Then Boehner got a visit from the Tea Party mafia and pretended the conversation never took place..Shameful. More shameful? The conservatives who join in pretending it never happened.

I see Obama isn’t present or doing anything as usual…

And Dems only have to reach out 24,901 miles for Repubs to meet them “halfway.”

Good article, but it failed to identify the One Ring — the One that Rules Them All.-That would, of course, be the Koch Brothers.
