"I'd like to hear some of the republicans on this board defend New Gingrich's shutdown of the government in 1995."
Did Bill Clinton not veto the first budget sent to him by congress that year?
The way I remember it Bill Was holding up the budget presented by the newly elected republican majority in the house......they finally relented....(selective memory maybe?...mine) It really is just a matter of perspective isn't it?
As an aside.....so what if the government shuts down for a while....How will it change your behavior?
I won't be any more or less lawless...I'll keep on working and living. The potholes will still be there....the politicians will still be there.
I need very very little from the government...which they provide so well. I'll take care of my family and they'll take care of me
Why is that so hard to understand....
Someday all those sucking at the teats of government will have to stand up for themselves. Get off the gravy train slackers...(you know who you are!)
Try this for a refresher......
