1. Will they remember this on election day?

Or will they continue to vote against their better interests out of habit or spite or hate or whatever motivates their idiotic actions.

[Ganja Ninja]

3. Yeah exactly!

Do they even realize that they did this to themselves? Even if they do can they overcome their spite of liberal city folks and vote differently next time?

[Amonester]

5. These idiots don't realize it's the liberal city folks who (will) pay for their subsidies

year in, year out...

They will just keep on doing what they do best: bite the hands that feed them!

[historylovr]

30. It requires a level of self-awareness

of which they are not capable. As to your second question, no, they will not.

[lunasun]

48. Agree that no, they will not remember this or will blame.....Obama 100%

[LiberalLovinLug]

9. They'll remember

Because Fox News won't let them forget. Its Obama and the Democrats shutdown. The GOP are fighting to keep those veteran memorials open, which Obama has personally requested be closed down first.

34. +1!

[iamthebandfanman]

2. But one appropriate role

for these guys is to lend a hand TO ME after disasters like this AND NOBODY ELSE.


sorry, just thought id change that to reflect what Christen REALLY means :p

[JNelson6563]

4. No safety net

for anyone but me!1!

Well, you ranchin' dudes wanted an end to government as we know it and here it is...floating along in the hands of gawd now brother.

Is gawd's great plan for us all to your liking?

8. Hey ranchers, this is YOUR bitter pill. You thought it was just the remedy.

Now, YOU take it. You don't just get to swallow it on some deadline day. You get to swallow it NOW.

You know, I really hate to see people in trouble. But when it's self-inflicted and based on complete idiocy and WILLFUL ignorance for the sake of a narrow unrealistic bubble-world ideology that's built on partisan bullshit, it's hard to find any sympathy for these people.

[leftyohiolib]

10. ERMAGHERD

[GeorgeGist]

11. Some disasters are created ...

by willful ignorance.

[abelenkpe]

12. They vote and support candidates

Who are openly against disaster aide and think the federal government should not play such a role. Do they understand that?or do they think it's the administrations desire to withhold from them specifically like the poor misguided tea partiers that voted for reps who shut down the government but think the parks and memorial closings are something the administration did just to spite them?

[lumberjack_jeff]

13. So what have we learned, Dorothy? n/t

[AlbertCat]

37. So what have we learned, Dorothy?

That Auntie Em is a slacker! Where the hell is she? She can't do anything right.

[Glaisne]

14. Hey Ranchers! Pull yourselves up from from your

bootstraps! Why do you got to go running to the govt dole every time you have troubles? Lazy moochers!

[lark]

21. Ranchers in SD obviously are takers

not makers. How stupid, agitate to shut down the government then whine when the government doesn't give them the handout they want because it's been shut down in part becaues of their misguided antics. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[tsuki]

15. Kristi Noem, R, is the teabagger House Representative. She is best known

for receiving $3,028,152 in farm subsidies from 1995-2009. Seems all her teabagging relatives have moved back to the family farm to cash in on the subsidies.

The Farm Bill expired in 2011, but instead of electing a Rep to look after their own best interests, the farmers and ranchers voted for a teabagger more interested in limiting women's health care and discriminating against gays.

Better get those big tractors out and start digging holes to bury the cattle. You get what you pay vote for.

[SCVDem]

16. We heard your voices all right!

You are heard shouting support for anti-government loons, voting for obstructionists, electing people who only care about the second ammendment and none of the others.

You are heard while shutting down womens health centers and while passing laws to disenfranchise minorities and other left leaning voters.

You are heard when you place your god ahead of living Americans who need food or medical assistance, as if your god would approve.

We just got tired of the bullshit and stopped listening!

Maybe Oklahoma can help you out. They feel the same way as you.

Good luck with that!

[Amonester]

17. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps now, s*ckeRs...

Really, you asked for it.

You voted over and over for it because faux snooze millionaires who don't want to pay more taxes told u.

You own it now. Happy?

[True_Blue]

18. Karma

You reap what you sow. They want the govt to "lend a hand", but if there were others needing "a hand", they would probably call them "handouts".

[Mikeystyle]

19. Keep yer gummint hands off my gummint!

How DARE Congress give us what we wanted!

It's like voting against a referendum on a new firehouse and then complaining when your own house catches fire.

They also probably complain the most about "big government" and "freeloaders" while not considering that agriculture is heavily subsidized through federal crop insurance and that most red states get more from the federal government than they pay in taxes.

Derp a derp a derp...

[azurnoir]

20. sorry gentlemen shutown means you too n/t

[Glorfindel]

22. No sympathy from me. Didn't their rep. vote AGAINST aid for the victims of superstorm Sandy?

I do hate it for the cattle, though.

[Bill USA]

23. and, of course, they blame Obama for the shut-down...just like the psychotically ignorant TeaBaggers

at the Veterans Memorial in D.C.


recommended!!

[bobclark86]

24. Here's their rep...

http://www.newrushmoreradio.com/kbhb/sdr-kbhb-news-noem-sandy-aid-20130116,0,7828729.story

WASHINGTON - The political tempest stirred up by Superstorm Sandy appears to have moved on after wreaking havoc among House Republicans divided over how much aid to allocate to the victims of the storm ... House Democrats supported the aid package in large numbers, but substantial Republican backing was needed for its passage in the GOP-controlled House. Among the Republicans voting against it was South Dakota Congresswoman Kristi Noem.

[freshwest]

32. Did any of these whiners connect the dots yet? Meet your Hurricane Sandy, hypocrites.

I feel bad for the surviving Democrats in such areas who did not drink the poison kool-aid from talk radio and the Tea Party. They will all do without now. Just like all Americans who voted to stand for equality and fair play for all.

[oldandhappy]

25. and who did you vote for in 2008 and 2010 and 2012???

Please reconsider your vote for 2014. Your vote matters. You got what you voted for, I suspect!

[MADem]

26. Maybe we ought to send Oprah round to them, so she can explain to them just what an

AH HA MOMENT is....!

Maybe those selfish bums will start to understand the meaning of phrases like "A rising tide lifts all boats," and "Whatsoever you do to the least of My brothers...."

[CubicleGuy]

28. Surprise! When you gored my ox...

... you got yours, too!

[TrollBuster9090]

29. WTF? We thought they were only gonna take free money away from 'welfare queens' driving Cadillacs!

[freshwest]

31. Hey, asshole, YOUR voice WAS heard. They did what YOU wanted. So you can STFU now!

And he drug down all the Democrats in his same area to satisfy the GOP and Tea Party. I've lived in cattle country and it's a hard way of life, but there is a primal force at work, being close to nature, which cannot be denied. I never saw people of any party fight against the government that funded their Farm Bureaus and roads to convey their goods, rural electrification, and a fair price. Why did this man vote for haters when there was nothing wrong with the system of help?

[bread_and_roses]

33. Thanks! Shared on FB (n/t)

[47of74]

35. There's a part of me that says Fuck 'em

There's a part of me that says that they wanted the government shutdown, they can live with it now.

[gopiscrap]

36. Imagine that, what a bunch of stupid fuckers

[valerief]

38. Where are their beloved "bootstraps"? nt

43. Ooh,

I love that! I must remember it!

40. YES ! YES YES! I've been waiting YEARS for this. I finally get to say it.

Fuck You and the horse you rode in on.

41. Welcome to what you've been wishing for, in a PukeBagger world.

Wake up farmers.

[amerciti001]

42. Stupid as Stupid can get...

One thing I've learned in "LIFE" is... you don't have to be "Stupid" all your life... wake up America!!!

[beerandjesus]

44. Still TEA'd off, ranchers??

[A Simple Game]

45. They should look for the silver lining. Because of the shutdown,

there is nobody to charge them with cruelty to animals.

[WinkyDink]

46. You can't fix stupid.

[olegramps]

47. These are the same self made rugged individulists who condemn welfare.

They strut around with their macho egos until they are faced with the reality that they are just as dependent "govment" as some crack whore is on her master.

[rock]

50. Are these people allowed to drive a car?

Or use power tools?

[zbdent]

51. Not only all of the above, but have they started whining about how mean-spirited those liberals

are for laughing about the ranchers' hypocrisy???
