Who Won the Shutdown Showdown? It Wasn't Even Close

[Bindare_Dundat]

If this was winning, I'd hate to see losing. Actually it still is losing because the amount of cuts means actual dick in the grand scene of things. Woopty Doo.

[Dos Equis]

so who won the shutdown showdown, BB.  State your position then




*methinks you don't want to, now that i've shown the repubs are dancing over stopping a pathetically small piece of obama waste".

Oh this is funny.     Why did you take the title of Carl Cameron's article and make it appear as though it was a quote from me? 

[Dos Equis]

Fact: BB will never solidly state his position on anything.  If you pressure him, he always ignores or dodges.  Trying to pin down BB on anything is pure lol....  won't happen but it brings on giggles anyway

He can't even pick Ron Paul over Obama lolol.....

Giggles?  That's pretty gay. 

I see you don't get tired of being wrong.   

[Dos Equis]

I've never said giggle in my life you fucking c unt.

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!   

[Dos Equis]

I just owned myself in this thread.

oh, i see.  you're one of those guys that posts articles on a subject which coincidentally matches your political beliefs, you refuse to take position until the article is completely sodomized, and woah... "I never said I agree with the author".

Then, you refuse to tell us if you agree.  Let's make this easy.

You agreed with the article.  Then, when you learned the repubs totally stopped 1% of Obama's bullshit spending, you realized you had 2 options - the repubs have shitty standards for success, or it was an epic fail.

So, ya roll with a personal attack and refuse to answer.  Sa-weeeeet!

Oh brother.  I see your hard-on for a pathetic attempt at ownage has brought you down to the moron level.  Repubs set out for about 60B or so, they ended up with 55B or so.  IMO, not too bad.

Were you pissing and moaning about that amount before or during the debates?  NO.

In fact, you claimed that the Repubs can't be blamed for at least trying:

repubs did propose 33 bil initially.  then they kept moving it up.


blah, blah, blah

can't blame the repubs for trying.  it's all about posing and perception now.  If only the tea party members weren't on tv screaming "let's shut down the govt!"

blah

And now you want to act as though it was a colossal failure. 

Give it up already you waffling tool.

Class dismissed.

the budget ended up being 38 billion

that's what I thought too.

Where did you get 58 billion?

[Soul Crusher]

Funny how you ignore obama and reid in all of this.

[240 is Back]

two bags of shit, 6 foot and 5 foot tall, respectively.

But they won this round.  even a garbage can gets a steak, I suppose.

[Skip8282]

that's what I thought too.

Where did you get 58 billion?

No, that's 38B from the next 6 months going forward.  They've passed 6 prior continuing resolutions already cutting funds.  I asked you about your numbers in the other thread because I'm not sure of exact amounts and talking in generalities.

Either way, they've CUT.

So which is it, waffle?  Condemnation or applause? 

You're so embarassed by this but you never once complained about the amount AND said they should be applauded for their efforts. 

[240 is Back]

eh, pat yourself on the back for that meager number.  #winning.

Rand paul wanted to slice 500 billion.  THAT would have been a win.

many repubs felt such a small cut made no diff in the tean year run, and they're right.  we pay way more in interest than we're cutting.

We all know this was showboating over pennies.  And it's a small victory. 

But you trying to act as though your "disgusted" and blah, blah, blah, when you never once complained about the amounts, and even applauded the attempt is just sheer kneepadding.

Next time you're blowing your Messiah, let him know how disgusted over the spending you are.

[240 is Back]

see, i dont really blow obama on this - i called him and reid 6 and 5 foot tall bags of shit above.  i mean, way more brutal than others on this thread.

still, you have your opinion on it.  but i do think cutting 1% off the 3.8 trillion is nothing to celebrate.  Ron Paul's 500 B would have been a win.

Bachmann: $39 billion in cuts is a 'disappointment'

Source: Politico

On Friday Speaker of the House John Boehner told reporters he's a glass-is-half-full kind of guy. Tonight, Rep. Michele Bachmann reveals she's not so much.

Bachmann voted against a short-term bill to keep the government running while a negotiated budget package moves through Congress. Bachmann says the larger deal, which includes $39 billion in spending cuts, and has garnered wide support among the Republican Conference, is a "disappointment."

“The deal that was reached tonight is a disappointment for me and for millions of Americans who expected $100 billion in cuts, who wanted to make sure their tax dollars stopped flowing to the nation’s largest abortion provider, and who wanted us to defund ObamaCare," Bachmann said in a release. "Instead, we’ve been asked to settle for $39 billion in cuts, even as we continue to fund Planned Parenthood and the implementation of ObamaCare. Sadly, we’re missing the mandate given us by voters last November, and for that reason I voted against the Continuing Resolution.”

[Straw Man]

The Repubs won

They got the Bush tax cuts extended which added 70 Billion to this years deficit while at the same time pretending to the the fiscal hawks who were so concerned about the money (and not ideology) that the brought the country to the brink of a shutdown over 300 million in funding for Planned Parenthood

Jesus, 240 is getting beaten all over this board on this budget stuff. First Gigantor exposes him for playing the class-warfare game and now Skip drops the hammer. That was brutal.

Hypocrite exposed!

Ron or Rand?

Rand's budget is never going to pass (at least not with the Senate and Presidency controlled by the Dems.  It's a waste of time to even harp on it or even act as though it's a viable victory to achieve.

In this political atmosphere, small, incremental change is the only realistically achievable victory.

[OzmO]

THe only person who didn't get the joke in that thread was you.  Since it seems to be bringing you endless pleasure, run with it.

It's hilarious how 240 always conveniently ignores the fact that the Dems laid out their plan months ago and that I'd have a better chance of finding a billion dollars on the street than the Repubs did of getting a Rand budget past a senate and Messiah that would rather spend $500 billion.  

The guy's a pathetically boring troll these days.

And these fucking dems were crying over a mere $60 billion in cuts. They truly are destroying this country.

Exactly.  And when I started a thread here asking the so-called "fiscally responsible" dems what the problem was.....I heard crickets...

Of course. Have you seen their posts? 99% of them are personal insults and the other 1% consists of copy/pasting MSNBC and Comedy Central clips from the sidebar of DU.

Whether I am a prophet or not is debatable.  What's not is that you're an idiot.
