I smell a rat (a.k.a. Ted Cruz) at work here.

Even though it would cause a lot of people much pain, a shutdown would bring the most grief to the GOP.
So go ahead asshole.

“The shutdown decision is the President’s. Our role and responsibility is to put the bill on his desk, and then he has to decide if he wants to shut down the government,”
And when it comes times to actually pay for those bills, its our duty to totally reneg and refuse to pay. Its like when you go to a restaurant and order a really big meal? I always dash out the door when the waiter/ess comes with the bill, doesn’t everyone?? And that’s my approach to governing, too!

Surely there must be a an acoustic decibel limit for someone who wants to be “Speaker”. Way too high a noise level from this clown.

Has anyone run a credit check on Chaffetz? He’s so willing to play fast and loose with the country’s credit standing, I wonder what his is?
Seriously, the irresponsibility of the GOP and particularly idiots like Chaffetz , Cruz, Gohmert, and the whole slate of presidential candidates passes all understanding. Working for the general good of the nation is clearly not a priority for them.

Funny isn’t it? For Chaffetz–and the GOP in general–personal responsibility is for losers. It’s always someone else’s fault.

He’s right. When the bill comes is the best time to consider whether we should have bought the thing in the first place.

This country is no longer capable of self-government. If I had the wherewithal I’d be making some contingency plans for emigration. And I’m not joking. I wish I were.

Agree whole heartedly. My problem is age and health, not money…but identical sentiments.

“I think it’s wrong to signal that you’re going to cave at the end,” Chaffetz said. "That’s not what I’m interested in doing."
Chaffetz also threatened to thrash about the cereal aisle and scream bloody murder if the damn Count Chocula wasn't put in that grocery cart ***RIGHT NOW!!!***

Translation: I am true republican, since when am I supposed to pay for the stuff that I already bought?

As a wise man once said, please proceed Governor.

Sometimes you have to have your nose rubbed in s$%t before you realize just how bad it smells. Most people don’t follow politics and they aren’t aware of the steaming pile that runs the House. This guy looks like he could make enough trouble to cut through that.

I suspect Count Chocula is a little to ethnic for ChaffingBitz. He looks like a Cap’n Crunch kinda dude to me.

He’s got no choice right now. He’s trying to take advantage of McCarthy’s truth telling, while trying to get past his own gaffes with Planned Parenthood.
