Government Shutdown

[tpeichel]

What does that have to do with the Republicans flipping the board on a law that's already passed?

Just that many liberals are making the arguement that the ACA is law so it must be followed, while on the other hand they are perfectly happy that the current Immigration Laws are not enforced.

If the Republicans should simply go along with the ACA until it is changed, shouldn't the current administration enforce the Immigration Laws until they are changed?

So go after them for it.

Oh wait, they shut the government down so they can't.

The vast majority of Americans are for harsh background checks, yet the Republicans refuse to listen. The Democrats didn't shut down government, why do the Republicans?

What percentage of Americans are for harsher background checks? I'm not sure, but I do believe it's somewhere in the 90s. Constitutional law or regular law, the people are saying what they want, yet no one is stopping government over that.

90% support stiffer background checks. 90% do not support banning all guns. 2/3rds of Americans opposed the entire Obamacare bill, not just small portions of it. That is not the same thing.

The government is not shut down. That is just a nice little scare tactic term the libs are enjoying regurgitating.

...and the Republicans won't talk about stiffer background checks. Instead, they simply talk about banning all guns. I really wish conservatives would actually discuss what's being said, and not their own warped views of what others think.

You know what the Dems don't do about guns, though? They don't shut down government and say "This is exactly what we wanted" (thank you Michelle Bachman).

So the Republicans wanted to get paid to do nothing. Surprise surprise.

Which is why we're talking in a thread titled "Government Shutdown" which was started by a conservative with a meme saying it doesn't matter because the government does nothing worthwhile anyway.

Gotcha.

For all the grievances I give about the U.S and it's government....I would NEVER want the government to actually shutdown.

And just so some of you understand just how many people are being affected by the nonsense that the GOP is doing....look at all these shutdowns:

If liberals were trying to provide free everything for illegal aliens by passing a law that did so while not properly providing for it's funding or implementation then the same shut down would occur. Perhaps if Spendocrats could come up with a plan that doesn't involve taking more money from the working class and wealthy and causing people to lose their jobs to give more freebies to the unemployed and poor then it might be more successful.

The Democrats need to realize that gun rights is Constitutional law and already passed. The Democrats need to accept that the Defense of Marriage Act is already passed. The Democrats need to realize that the Immigration and Nationality Act already passed. Yeah, yeah, I know, the liberal double-standard allows them to choose to attack laws that they disagree with while arguing that laws they support should be allowed to stand free of any challenge or scrutiny. Sorry, not gonna happen.

Hmm... When did the Defense of Marriage Act pass? Didn't that just get repeled within the last couple months? Then the IRS said gay couples could file their federal taxes as married?

Yeah I posted that same link yesterday, but with as much attention as this thread has gotten it is buried now. I believe someone needs to keep bringing it out so everyone can see just how many people it affects.

Exactly my point. It was passed, but the liberal agenda refused to just accept it as conservatives are supposed to do with Obamacare.
