1. Yeah that was the sentiment echoed by al qaeda leaders after 9/11

How's that working out for Osama Bin Laden on the bottom of the ocean floor?

[SoapBox]

2. Sicko Terrorists.

They are anything BUT true Americans.

[ffr]

4. +1

Self important, smug, assholes whose overconfidence in their righteousness gets us all into trouble.

The double-downers.

[bravenak]

3. And the drinking continues.

I'd love to be their booze seller. I'd make millions.

[Iliyah]

5. That should go viral so that many Americans

can see that yes, its the crazy fraction of the GOP party that are admitting to the shutdown as theirs and as a result of it many Americans are suffering because of it, well just because.

[calimary]

6. AHA, so they ARE admitting that THEY are the ones doing it, 'eh?

What? No "both sides-both siiiiiiiiiiiiiides"?

Keep opening that yap, you idiots!!! You're creating such a big hole that YOU YOURSELVES are being swallowed up by it.

[Auggie]

7. Yeah?

In California the GOP is dead. Take that, assholes.

[yuiyoshida]

11. Thats exaclty the point... in California

Our state is so blue... its hard to tell where the Pacific Ocean starts and the state begins!

[Tikki]

8. Move already!!!

Read any California Coastal newspaper's comment section and you will read these t-pooters talking about
moving out of California right now.
Come back a month, a year later and these same t-pooters are complaining and talking about moving to Arizona...
but they never do.

9. Perfect, perfect, perfect!

Cuz I've read many posts this morning that some of the media is out in force saying the dems want & are causing this shutdown.

10. The Tea Party is dead! There, I've said it.

Frankly the whole tea party will wind up in a fiery crash like the Hindenburgh, taking hundreds of Rethuglican political careers down with it.

[neffernin]

12. If only

The current state of the govt and debt cieling deal would dictate otherwise. I just hope they do enough damage during this time that the house somehow goes blue again.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. Randi reading a NY Times article about the planning behind the shutdown

I just need to share this for whatever use it can be put to.

We know that the highly paid pundits on Fox News and those who go out to speak for the "other side" of the argument on all other news oriented programs, come armed with Talking Points. Well this the "defunding tool kit". http://www.teapartypatriots.org/2013/09/get-your-defunding-obamacare-toolkit/

How on earth can we get these groups into the hot seat and not simply exposed on the editorial pages of the NY Times? The Heritage Foundation's lobbying arm http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/01/24/the-rights-latest-weapon-think-tank-lobbying-muscle/ AND Freedom Partners (http://freedompartners.org/us/)

She's providing really valuable information from the decision in place after they lost the election and how they would harness the power of the purse, both the budget and their backers' "war chest", to undo the accomplishments of the majority.

14. The Tea Party is still DEAD. Just because a bunch

of fucking idiots in Congress ShutDown the Government.. yeah, you can take the credit. Doesn't mean you're not DEAD.

thanks EarlG

[oldandhappy]

15. Shucks. I thot we were tea-free!!

I am glad to be in California where we have a balanced budget, a glorious blue sky day, voter registration on-line, and are leading the way on immigration reform. We have raised the minimum wage. We are working hard on the environmental concerns. Go Ca!!

23. You would if Limbaugh was hauled off to jail kicking and screaming over illegal Cuban cigars.

[Skittles]

25. you want I should kick some chortling ass, trof?

LEMME AT THEM!!!

[broadcaster75201]

18. He sounds like just what any other Terrorist

Lots of groups are "dead", Nazis etc but that doesn't mean they can't cause great damage. Just ask any Taliban member ... Christian or Muslim.

[weissmam]

19. hahaha

The DNC has a super majority in CA, that's means the GOP doesn't have to show up (Smile)

[gopiscrap]

20. Welcome to DU

[Spitfire of ATJ]

21. I celebrated the Republicans committing political suicide.

[gtar100]

22. Good point! Now it should be perfectly clear that anyone who says it's the Democrats' fault is just

pushing republican lies and propaganda. I heard Boehner try to pin this on Obama today and he only sounded like an idiot. Sure, demand to renegotiate settled law. What an asshole. Worst Congress ever - and he will forever be known as its leader. Tragic that the US can produce such rotten people. But we have a long history of it and the worst of them come out when conservatives are in power.

[lonestarnot]

24. I wonder which one of the elected fucking teahadists think that they will be able to safely walk the

streets of United States if they destroy it.

[tclambert]

26. Now it's all about their egos.

They know they lost, they know they hurt the Republican party, and they know they may lose control of the House of Representatives next year because of it. Yet they just can't help gloating about how "relevant" they proved themselves to be.
