Congress

The Nightman Cometh wrote:The hopefully they will be so exhausted from infighting we will probably be able to find 100 R reps who want to avoid the shutdown.

“I can tell you that people in my Congressional district do not view a government shutdown as a measure of success by any standard.”
That’s why Costello says he and 10-freshman republican congressmen and women signed a letter reminding colleagues of the cost of the 2013 shutdown:
“Everybody feels the government should remain open and I think that’s a very common-sense practical thing that is lost on some in Washington who want to make every ideological debate and turn it into whether the government should stay open or not, and I don’t think that’s the way our government is supposed to work.”
The deadline is September 30th.

the idea that Boehner isn't conservative enough for their base is just amazing to me

“Our message is one of hope and aspiration,” Bush said to the East Cooper Republican Women’s Club annual Shrimp Dinner. “It isn’t one of division and get in line and we’ll take care of you with free stuff. Our message is one that is uplifting — that says you can achieve earned success.”

The remark echoes a comment made by Mitt Romney four years ago, when he was asked at NAACP event about his stance on the Affordable Care Act. “If they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy — more free stuff,” Romney said. He soon followed up with the infamous speech to private donors saying Democrat voters “believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.” Romney went on to lose the election, earning just 6 percent of African American votes.

Rubio to Value Voters: "Just a few mins ago, Speaker Boehner announced he will be resigning." HUGE ovation. Many standing.
