GOP threats of shutdown = EXTORTION

[Nancy Waterman]

It is time to call it what it is. "Give us what we want or we will destroy you."

2. Last time they shut down the government

the economic collapse was born. What disaster will it be this time?

3. They've done it before - didn't work out so well. Let them try.

The MAIN problem will be if Obama doesn't pin the BLAME on them. He needs to go hard-ass here.

4. Exactly why we should call it Extortion now

Blame them early before they blame Obama with their usual abusive tactics.

5. Hey, we're already complaining that the GOP hasn't fixed everything yet....

We should get on the "WHY oh WHY do the teabaggers HATE America?" bandwagon now!

9. Except they were elected handily to do that very thing..

Stop "Big Government"....That is what they ran on and what the Tea Baggers voted for..Bring down "Big Government".. Stop it by any means possible...even with "2nd Amendment remedies" if necessary.

6. They are terrorists .......... Plain and simple

It seems that there is a huge disconnect once a politician gets elected.
They forget the people are the government, not them.
If they shut down the government they are threatening the safety of
this country, so they are terrorists. Any threat of this is also terrorism.
Anyone promoting this are actually doing so should be tried for treason.

Send them to Gitmo and lose the key.

7. I remember a couple of years ago there were debates at DU about if Obama's as good a pol as Bubba.

I think we're about to find out just what our guy's made of. Can a "Chicago pol" really be as tough as the meanshit motherfuckers from down here in Dixie? I'm gettin' some popcorn and maybe even praying for my country a little.

10. Two can play at that game.

They ain't seen nuthin' yet.
