Let Repug SHUT down the Govt. during War over HCR
Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 10:52 AM by barbiegeek
Seriously, it's a BLUFF. Or they are really that stupid

Let the Repub's shut down the VA hospitals and throw our disabled troops in the streets. Let them stop military pay to our troops in Afganistan. LET THEM SHUT DOWN THE WAR

The shut down will won't last long. They can't afford to look anti-military.

In 1994, people were upset about the social security checks & bond payments. The cataclysmic reach of pulling this stunt now is HUGE. In 1994 we were at peace. We are at war now.

Wait until the American Public sees the VA hospitals shut down.

Everyone should call their Congress person and tell them to call the Repugs out and DARE THEM.

1. Call them on
Let them go through with their little stunt.

If you give in, there won't be any government left to serve the people anyway.

"Think of all the people that will be hurt by it! Are you going to punish all those innocent people? No we need to be the ADULTS in the room and give the Republicans whatever they want to avoid this catastrophe!" :sarcasm:

5. You mean... negotiate from a position of strength?
No, no... we're Democrats. We don't do that sort of thing.
