That includes reading bedtime stories, to his two sons. Man, you guys are a cynical bunch.

Wrong again!


Cruz has two daughters.

I reposted because my post got orphaned and it would be a damn shame if Adak didn't see how unfactual his facts are: even to the widdle childwen we are supposed to get all sentimental about.

Sorry, I've been working on a computer program for external sorting, and I don't care if Sen. Cruz has sons or daughters. Castigating the man for reading them a bed time story for a few minutes, when the floor of the Senate is virtually empty, is WRONG.

And you're quite uncivil in your doing so, may I say.

Oh, you can say it, but at this point don't expect anything you say to hold much water.

But I did enjoy the 'harumphy' feel of it.

Today, the GOP got it's way... they did not compromise or miss a beat
in their refusal to do anything but act as bullies,
... leaving others to deal with the consequences of their
obsessive compulsion over Obamacare.

If you are inconvenienced, in even a minor way, by this government shut down,
think back about Adak, and his hero (R) Senator Cruz from Texas, aka "Mister Green Eggs",
and the unsagacious GOP.

(I know, that's not really a word... but neither is the GOP a coherent party)

We've had a long series of lies on spending, from the Democrats. Reagan, Bush Sr. Carter, Bush Jr., - all their administrations were promised by the Democrats, that they'd cut spending in a meaningful and timely manner.

All lies.

Obama has TONS of items besides healthcare that he could use to foster a compromise, and stop the shutdown.

But he won't use them. Because he can't stop spending, he can't stop trying to make the upper classes poorer, by "redistributing" their wealth. He can't stop growing the Federal gov't.

And he doesn't HAVE to compromise. All he has to do is convince you that the entire shutdown is being caused by those Republicans - so blame them.

Eventually, those "hostage taking" Republicans, will have to give up, Obama wins, and the Democrats get to keep spending us into oblivion. Businesses and jobs are being lost here, but the Democrats love the poor - so they make more.


Benjamin Franklin said it much better:

When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.


And a couple favorites:

Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country.
