If we have to shut down the government to defund Planned Parenthood, so be it

So doing the right things includes stopping paychecks for our military and their families. Doing the right thing includes stopping social security payments to those who worked hard for them and live off of them. Doing the right thing includes stopping medical services for our veterans. Doing the right thing includes shutting down meat packing because the government inspectors are not allowed to work. Interesting.

And your suggesting this because shutting down government has always worked so well for Republicans in the past?

it didn't hurt Republicans in the past elections, why would it now? blaming is a very different degree of disagreement then not voting for. if you are only a fiscal conservative that votes republican because of taxes and spending that does not want a shutdown over PP, voting for the socialist democrats isn't really an option.

Your kidding, right? Shutting down government has always blown up in the Republicans face. As inefficient as our government is, day to day life is worse when it is shut down.

ok, u are right

but shutting down the governemt RARELY means shutting down every gov service

all the more reason to do it

Actually, it does mean shutting down every service. I believe it takes and act of congress to order the air traffic controllers to stay on the job without pay during a shutdown to keep air traffic moving. I believe the military also has to have special considerations put in place to keep our soldiers fighting.

If NORAD just packed up and went home, then I'd be impressed. "The government" does not "shut down." Ever.

so are you opposed to the civil rights movement since it caused an inconvenience to the whites living in that era. news flash, history has shown that fighting evil requires hard work and sacrifice.

Calm down. Go get some disproving evidence or something.

America has proven over and over again that it does not want to end abortion. The democrats are up front and honest about their desire to keep it legal. The Republicans lie about ending abortion as every time they have been in a place to actually do something meaningful, they don't. They can't afford to as they run the risk of losing a large percentage of their voting base if they ever actually ended abortion. That is the political reality of America today.
