“They’ve lost their minds,” Reid said of Republicans, in rejecting the latest proposal.

“Senate Democrats have made it perfectly clear that they’d rather shut down the federal government than accept even the most reasonable changes to ObamaCare,” Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell countered.

I love the smell of government shutdown in the morning!!!







Now, if we can only keep it going the rest of the month!  Just blow by the debt ceiling (cough!) "deadline", make these damned Dem's compromise for once!

Not gonna hold my breath...these are feckless Pubbies after all, but I'll enjoy the shutdown while it lasts...

Mine, too. I was shocked. Well, almost shocked.

Nothing makes the EBT laden so angry as a shutdown.
May it never reopen.

This was, of course, engineered by the Leftists. It will be interesting to see over the coming days, just how in the tank the media will be for this regime.

I love this kind of sh*t. And apparently, Representative Steve King (not to be confused with pukehead Peter King) distracted capitol police, so that citizens could storm the barricades, and occupy the Memorial.

Citizens Reject Shutdown Theater

Shutdown theater is Obama's penchant for making shutdowns worse than they need to be.

For example, the Capitol Police doing more work than needed to erect barriers to entry to the WWII memorial in the Mall. No one "works" here; there are no Park Rangers. It's a friggin' monument. And it is policed by the Capitol Park Police, who are, of course, still on the job.

Nevertheless, Obama is doing Shutdown Theater so he had his Imperial Troops erect barriers to keep people from seeing it.

Some visiting veterans rejected the Shutdown Theater.

More shutdown theater ....



Quote
Any other day, these five parking places pictured below are available for use on the George Washington Parkway near Washington D.C.  The GW Parkway is a national park.  There is no fee to park in them.  There are no National Park Service employees who do anything at all with them.  But not today.  Shutdown Theatre is playing nationwide, and the barricades are props.

Today the barricades went up.  Unlike any other day, today National Park Service employees had to go to these parking places and erect barricades.  More time, energy and money was spent erecting barricades to create phony drama surrounding the shutdown than is spent on a normal day.  Without such theatre, most Americans might not even notice that the federal government has shut down.
