   McConnell sold out for $2 Billion dollars. Its all about standing up to Dear Leader, until they wave some money in your face.

   Leave the govt shutdown if Obamacare can’t be defunded. They go to all this trouble for nothing. Key parts of the partially shutdown govt were starting to reopen, like National Parks etc, and Republicans were on track to win the shutdown vs Obamacare fight. All we had to do was for the House not to fund Obamacare and Obamacare would have shriveled on the vine. Now the House is going to vote to fund Obamacare?

   By the way, there’s still time to rebuke the senate, and for the House to pass a clean debt limit rise, let’s say until 12/31/2014. But leave the govt shutdown until the issue of Obamacare funding can be resolved.

   Why is there time? Because I hear that the impact of not passing the debt limit increase would slowly start to take effect over time. So, the House can pass something, can force the senate to go back to the drawing board and pass a clean debt limit rise, and leave the govt CR aspect out of it.

   Perhaps the Tea Party wing of the GOP should leave and make their own political party, then people can either vote for them or against them. At least they would not have to worry then about moderate Republicans and could have their own agenda which people could look at and choose to vote for if they wish.

     The McCain wing of the pseudo-Democratic Party has done more than enough damage and needs to be eliminated permanently.

       Look to Canada for a solution. We started a third party, a conservative party. There was vote splitting for a little while, but the result was the elimination of our RINOs, the “Red Tories”. We now have a long term conservative Prime Minister, who shows no sign of future defeat.

   They desperately want to believe the world is fine–and they are relevant in it (among the elite brokers of power) as Limbaugh so cogently realizes. The American political scene–and the world–is not fine. It does not matter to hard reality what the majority want to believe (no matter how ancient, or “settled”, their dogmas), or what “the polls say”. This is all about getting past the still-cantankerous and demanding Baby Boomer generation, to the promised land (the Utopia, if you will) of a smaller and more compliant population (cf., the Eloi in “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells), in a perceived world of growing world competition and scarcer resources for America (with little real understanding that the “more compliant” population–such as new immigrants, illegal or not, with ever more divided and dogmatic beliefs–will be all the less able to compete, or even be financially healthy, much less united in outlook). The elites are the ones who, when push comes to shove, throw the weaker ones off the back of the wagon to the closely pursuing wolves–and this has been going on pretty much all of my adult life, by both Democrats and Republicans (including Reagan, the Actor). And why should I trust a third party? In the end, it comes down to competence, in government as in science, and the many long-nurtured dogmas dividing society have brought about a crisis of general incompetence, in every sphere, and throughout the world, not just in America. The world needs more self-reliant people in it, and leading it. It needs governments that can encourage and enable such self-reliance, not tyrannies transparently posing as protectors of social justice. It needs to be open to new, objective, knowledge, not clinging to old dogmas, as it is now throughout the physical sciences.

   Well, at least caving in to the Dems will free up the House to get back to demonstrating their ineptitude at investigating the many Obama scandals.
