Gov't Shutdown: Will it really affect you?

[Bailey Guns]

I've been a Republican my entire adult life and I no longer give to the party. Instead, I find conservative candidates that share my values and give to them. I can't stand the thought of my party donations going to the RINOS. If you gave to the party over the years, you're indirectly donating to some very solid folks but also giving to the likes of Charlie Crist, Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Lincoln Chafee, Mike Castle, George Voinovich, Richard Lugar, Mark Kirk and other extremely anti-gun RINOS. That's not even counting the second tier of go along, get along, useful idiot types like Orin "My good friend Ted Kennedy" Hatch, John "no drilling in ANWR, campaign-finance nazi" McCain, and Lisa "never pass on an earmark" Murkowski..

Here's where my donations go these days. Rabble rouser Jim DeMint's PAC:
http://senateconservatives.com/ . Not a Libertarian exactly, but these guys do a much better job of getting elected.

That would be why I said "conservatvie republicans". I don't care how conservative one might think a particular democrat candidate is, a democrat is a democrat and every one elected makes their agenda stronger.

Last year I donated to two political campaigns: Mike Coffman and Allen West.

Another well thought out post, I see.

The whole thing reminds me of two Kids Bickering in the back seat of a car on a road trip.

Dem: MOOOOOOMMMM The Republicans are Blocking our Budget!
Rep: They Started it with their Tax and Spend stuff!
Dem: Nuh Uh... You are just posturing because there's more of you now and you want to get me in trouble.
Rep: Nuh-Uh, you are just mad that your team Lost the Elections!
Dem: MOOOOMMM! The Republicans are Making fun of us because we lost the elections again. See if I pass your Budget now, doody-head.
Re: MOOOOOMMMM! The Democrats called us Doody-Heads and are blocking the vote now!

Reality: IF YOU CHILDREN DON'T STOP BICKERING THIS INSTANT I WILL TURN THIS ECONOMY BACK AROUND AND NO ONE GETS PIZZA!

I find the whole thing disgusting. Every one of these politicians, dems and reps, should be held accountable for failing to complete the simple and annual task of acting responsibly. How many houses will be lost if they don't get this fixed by tonight, by the time mortgages and car payments are due and these guys are bickering like little bitches.

Personally, I won't vote for a single fucking one of them again if they go beyond a single pay check not getting paid. It's the ultimate breech of the trust relationship they have with their employees, and could start a cascade effect in the financial health of the country.

The Military just saw there LES today for the 15th. 1/2 pay cut. Many are not very happy right now.

I vote for the politicians who are bickering and snickering about the budget issues go fill in for the troops during this government shut down time and give our soldiers a well-deserved break. You think they get a breather while everything gets hashed out? Of course, the Taliban is just going to wait to fire their rockets and plant their IEDs. [/sarcasm]

I would not work if I was not getting paid. that is all it comes down to . if at some out station just stay there and pull securty, I would not go one prtrol if I wasn't getting paid. Thick about the guy with a wife and 3 kids. No money this month so he tells here to load up with credit card and buy as much food as you can. all the utlities , bank and enyone else you owe money to. Tey expllanning why you will be late next month. Hopefullelly the kids will have easy go until the ca r dies and the credit cards are all maxed out so they have to drive to school. With having only one car the kids and mom shares the drive to and from work while going to work. Saturday come around and guess what big brother is going ona date and slipps in the rain loosing traction not a lto but enough he switcd sides of the road and smashed into another persons car. Both cars are in bad sahpe and wil not be able to run. The family that was running the other car where on there way to pick up some suppllies. Now they dont have a vehicle to transport needed supplies for there store.


So the original familie needs a new vehivule and pay for the paramedic trip to the ER. Retain a lawer and figure out how to do all of this. There hasnt been enough money on the tabble to cover all these expensives. They will be using all of there savings and maxing out there credit cards. Maybe getting a loan to cover them? What if this last ongerthen a month? How deep does a soldiers credit and savinbgs go
