Steve King ® IA wants another shutdown - before the November elections? ? ?

PLEASE shutdown the government over immigration in October. Please! We need something to get the voters out in numbers that result in a Democratic landslide in November!

Please, let someone besides the loony toons Steve King ($) IA say it … Oh that is right McConnell from KY also said it (in private to Koch … ).

Read all about King’s military service, during the Vietnam War! He’s sacrificed a lot for the country he loves!

I’d call it a sprint.

Yeah, shutdown the government before the midterms because the president is working within his Constitutional authority to address a problem Republicans refuse to deal with legislatively. Do so right before the midterms. Then when you lose your last opportunity to take the Senate for the next four years, force your candidates to talk about how vehemently opposed they are to any sort of compassionate immigration reform. After your presidential candidate loses in a landslide, Democrats get a majority in the House and supermajority in the Senate, produce an autopsy of all the things you need to do to get back into the WH. Reince. Repeat.

If Obama issues such an executive order, I hope he quotes the Republican-introduced, Reagan-signed '86 law extensively.

Yep, and there will be no “disastrous website rollout” to save them this time.

But…what if Obama and Putin swapped places for 48 hours?

Would it then be the authoritarianism the right-wing morons are looking for?

Who are they kidding. A whiff of pepper (or Freedom Fries even) could trigger a shutdown.

Thank you , Mr. King. Always glad to know what the Asshole Policy is. And you articulate it so well. Keep up the good work.

The impeachment threat did not work so now they are trying government shutdown, what next.

14

Teabagers are absolutely convinced that if they shut down the government, the Democrats will back down and give in to their demands because they are basically spineless.

15

Republicans seem really beguiled by ways of shutting that whole thing down.

Enjoy not winning any national elections for the next, say, twenty years or so.
