Stand Your Ground President Obama, We the People Have Your Back!

 

 Don't you wish democrats had shut down Washington to keep Bush and Dick from sending us to war based on DEAD WRONG INTELLIGENCE?

Lets get one thing straight,  republicans are not making some kind of principled stand by marching our country off the cliff and into financial disaster, demanding delaying the implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act.

This is about keeping poor/black/brown/folks from having access, strike that, from having the same access to quality affordable health care they have.

This is about  a party who can't get over the fact they lost the Presidential election not once, but twice, and hurting the people who voted for, and elected, Barack Hussein Obama.

 The Ted Cruz’s and Eric Cantor’s of the world are the modern day Daniel Shay.  The difference is Shay led a populist movement of citizen’s who’s way of life was being threatened by the government.  Cruz, Cantor, and their band of Tea Party political terrorists are holding Americans hostage and using the American government against the American people; making the United States of America, un-united and ungovernable.~

This is about a party that has been hijacked by zealots.

Delay and defund.  And default.

That is the House Republicans’ brilliant plan in their last-ditch effort to block implementation of the Affordable Care Act. It is a plan that threatens to grind the government to a halt and wreak havoc on the economy.

If they can’t take over Washington, they’ll shut it down. It’s their way or no way. All or nothing.

It's time for President Obama to Stand His Ground

I believe it is time for President Obama to read up on the 14th Amendment (particularly the part about the full faith and credit of the federal government) and unilaterally raise the ceiling when the Republicans try to drive the economy over the cliff. In the event that President Obama must use the constitutional option to not default I am about 90% certain the house will move articles of impeachment. To which I say ‘GOOD!’ Bring it on. I just hope and fervently pray that if these dominoes fall as I suspect this all happens before the next midterm. Can you imagine the landslide if Republicans follow a government shutdown with impeachment?! Red state gerrymandering would not matter…

Would someone tell the Talking TeeVee Pundits what piggieheart said?
 Screw the poor, punish our troops, impoverish more of our seniors, but don't harm a hair on the head of our donors. This is not a principled stand on governing philosophy. This is an attempted blackmail of the majority by a tiny fraction of our leadership. The President and Harry Reid are correct in standing firm. They must show the same courage and determination that President Clinton show the last time the extreme right wing tried this gambit. Just as we did then, the American people will punish those responsible.

If people cannot trust government to do the job for which it exists -to protect and to promote their common welfare, all else is lost.~President Barack Hussein Obama
