    Correction. The day Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and declared war on America was the day they basically told the US: "Let's see what you've got". Well they did see what the US had. And all it took was two bombs and the Japanese turned into 'surrender monkeys'. Not the best 'look' for Japan. So in a way the Japanese did "nuke themselves" b/c they brought whatever reaction America retaliated with on themselves.
    Note to the next country who thinks it can attack America and win. That's not exactly correct. Obama AKA Neville Chamberlain is still the President. Don't 'sucker-punch' America. America might have a gun. Oh sorry, I'm convoluting now.
    Obama want's to lift the sanctions on Iran b/c Iran is "promising" to 'pretty soon now' 'maybe' 'think about the 'possibility' of halting it's nuclear bomb making program.

    Not if all they know is what Obama and MSNBC tell them.

    Nope. The democrats have lost Immigration reform by agreeing to another CR and giving the GOP the argument 'We can't afford more people on welfare" instead of "We don't like brown people". They are strangling the liberal To Do list, but the left just keeps on fiddling as their ship sinks. Democrats not in safe seats will now be committing political suicide if they support immigration reform in 2014.

    The Democrats lost 63 seats in the House in 2010 and gained back 8 in 2012. No amount of gerrymandering could accomplish that.

    pssst... The government was shut down because we couldnt pay our bills, and we couldnt borrow more money to pay our bills.

    obama promised obamacare was only going to cost 900 billion, the real cost is 2.6 trillion. We are doomed, and I do not see a reason to celebrate.

    I was thinking this very same thing. The people who will sign on to this plan are like those people who checked yes for, "Have you read the terms and agree?" They hardly now what's in it, they are going for the selling points. While I don't know if it is bad, I have the feeling it won't turn out to be half as spectacular as any of the other things Obama proposed turned out. This is a salemen with a poor record, but still we buy...

    Yeah. It will be the same game, whether it's Rep majoity or Dem majority. Just a different field...

    All this maneuvering is because Republicans are obviously afraid Americans will want Obamacare; they no doubt anticipate a shift in the opinion polls in coming months. This Tea Party political theater has a shelf life and they know it....time is running out. Tick, tick, tick.

    I hear that all the time Mac, but if you look at expenditures Democrats don't spend anymore than Republicans.

    The big problem is that defense contracting and healthcare are the economy. If we stop being world police and scale defense spending back to small units like SEALs, there will be thousands upon thousands out of work. If we try to reduce the cost of healthcare, you get the kind of pushback we have now.

    Long story short...Americans are not a profitable workforce on the average globally...and that is why our recovery was jobless. Stock market and investment capital is there, but why invest in a workforce mired in regulation and lazy entitled attitudes?

    I suspect the backlash against the tea party extremists will be quite harsh!

    Defeated?

    The house didn't vote on it yet.

    What happens when the house votes down this? Does that mean the extreme left-wing Democrats are defeated? Well?

    uh...no. The Gov't shut down because the Dems finally found their backbone and decided to call the Repubs on tryin to circumvent the democratic process and attack a law that had passed congress as well as the SC. That's why it shut down.

    As for OC, yeah, your right, and those chickens will come home to roost once all is said and done.

    16 trillion and counting that we don't seem to be able to handle....and the OP and his crowd is cheering about "no spending cuts" like it's a good thing....No wonder we are where we are.

    I can accept that.

    The Repubs in Washington are big spenders too.

    Only the Tea Party patriots are serious about spending cuts.

    Keep repeating that so more people can read it. Because its the truth.

    ...50 years from now...

    Young Adult: Granddad life sucks. Its so hard to find a job paying more than minimum wage and even if I do, the government is going to take 60% of my earnings. I'd really like to start a family but I cant afford to take care of a wife or child, buy a home, or save for our future. What happened Granddad?

    Liberal Sheep aka "Granddad": Oh my Grandson, I traded your future for membership in the cool club. You see only the racists and terrorists looked at the balance sheet.

    Now, let's implement ObamaCare. 3 months? The Democrats will be lucky to win an election in 3 years.

    The best thing they have ever done, trying to stop the theft from children to pay our very greedy(liberal) generation.
