This case study is a collection of previous posts of mine, designed to present a larger perspective on the issue by combining them together.
Shutstorm 2013: America Sits on Its Balls - Republican Shutdown John Oliver explains the electorally invincible strategy behind unpopular Congressional actions. (06:09):
TURNS OUT, HOLDING THE GOVERNMENT HOSTAGE TO PUSH A MINORITY VIEW WAS ACTUALLY A PLANNED POLITICAL STRATEGY...IN OTHER WORDS, A STRATEGY FOR POLITICS (THAT ROMNEY WAS MAKING FUN OF) IS BEING USED ON THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT...AS A WEAPON TO REDRESS MINORITY GRIEVANCES (AND BY MINORITY, I MEAN A VERY SMALL MINORITY. WE'RE TALKING HITLER ELECTORAL RATES HERE! I.E.WATCH VIDEO ABOVE AND READ THIS CAREFULLY, IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT)...THE PLAN.
... I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE JON.
Quotes:
1. "I would advocate that we pass legislation giving the president the authority to REQUEST of us an increase in the debt ceiling that would take us past the end of his term" - "that [legislation] would be subject to disapproval. That resolution of disapproval, if passed, would then go to the president, he could sign it or he could veto it." - McConnell - Theme: Passing legislation to 'disapprove it later. 2. "The reason default is no better idea today than when Newt Gengrich tried it in 1995, is it destroys your brand [i.e. America's credit rating] and would give the president the opportunity to blame Republicans for bad economy" - Defaulting was seriously tried by Newt in 1995. 3. "Look, he owns the economy. He's been in office almost 3 years now and we refuse to let him entice us into co-ownership of a bad economy" McConnel - The co-ownership is referring to the United states economy. Important Position: McConnel admits that making sure Obama is a one term President is his primarypolitical goal. This means that the worse the economy is the better chances are that Obama will be a one term president.
To get an idea of what Tea Party & GOP leaders are willing to do to make sure the US Economy is bad so they can beat Obama at the box office, take a look at these images...
Study these graphics - there may be ideological conflicts in one or two ideas - but think these through.Go over all implications (Notice how many shifts they made since this shutdown happened? Why have they made so many sudden policy modifications as of 10/03/2013?). The result you will arrive at will always be the same, i.e. the US economy would be doing much better right now if it wasn't for recent Republican policy position in Congress. Voting Republican's out of the House may actually be good for National Security in that the economy will improve making people happier (by raising their standards of living, which, ironically, Fox News has argued AGAINST!) with their lives and reducing overall murder-rate in the country. I have other National Security arguments for not letting anyone destroy the US Economy as a political strategy... especially if you are elected to office by the people, but I will make them more publicly, some other time.
congress can rewrite a policy before a default as they have allot of time, so the primary political goal has become to attack Obama (and each other) and NOT to fix the economy... At one point, McConnell said: "I have little question that as long as this president is in the Oval Office, a real solution is unattainable." In an interview with CBS News, the president noted that McConnell has described his major political goal as making Obama a one-term president. |
Government "Slimdown" & POTUS Meeting -Fox News calls the shutdown a "slimdown," and President Obama neglects to tell Congress that shutting down the government is bad. (02:40) : BTW, I NOTICED ANOTHER PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR, SEVERAL ACTUALLY, BUT ONE IN PARTICULAR...... & NOW, VIDEO IN FULL...
RANT Based On Above Video: [1:30] Why is Texas constantly cutting child services? The US is already the top child abuser in the western world according to BBC! Why even put child care in the sequester? Why cut child health in the State with the highest child abuse? i.e. "Compared to Other States, Texas Has a Higher Rate of Child Deaths from Abuse and Neglect"I mean think about it. Each party put stuff in the sequester that's supposed to hurt them, but cutting child services is the main trend in Texas anyways , so how is putting cuts to child health services for Rick Perry a motivation factor? The government there probably welcomed these cuts.
From Dallas News: Texas child abuse, neglect deaths soar 31 percent From the "Center for Public Policy Priorities": PDF Document showing that "Compared to Other States, Texas Has A Higher Rate Of Child Deaths from Abuse and Neglect" An even more common pattern... Rick Perry saved the entire Texan economy using Federal Money but he couldn't help sick kids?... Stimulus-Hating Gov. Rick Perry Used Stimulus to Balance Texas Budget Gov. Rick Perry used federal stimulus money to pay 97 percent of Texas's budget shortfall in fiscal 2010--which is funny, because Perry spent a lot of time talking about just how terrible the stimulus was. In fact, Texas was the state that relied most heavily on stimulus funds, CNN's Tami Luhby reports. "Even as Perry requested the Recovery Act money, he railed against it," Luhby writes. "On the very same day he asked for the funds, he set up a petition titled 'No Government Bailouts.'" It called on Americans to express their anger at irresponsible spending. Thanks to the stimulus funds, Texas didn't have to dip into its $9.4 billion rainy day fund. Still, now that the stimulus is spent, Texas, like many other states, is facing severe cuts--$31 million must be carved from the budget. |
Summary of what's happened so far:
GOP's Shutdown Of The US Government Was A Planned Strategy! I Guess It's Just Business As Usual!(this is sarcasm as this is the second time they have tried holding the Government Hostage... while doing the OPPOSITE in the past, thus proving thier outright hypocrisy) The Cost Of Shut Down $300 Million Per Day & So Far, The Publicity Is Bad For GOP (above). Interestingly enough, when faced with a losing battle the GOP has the ability to move public opinion with lies ... & that's not even the worst part! Thier skill at lying is so good they don't even flinch! See examples below. FOX NEWS PROVES THAT MEDIA CAN SWING PUBLIC OPINION WITH LIES!
ALL FOX NEWS HAS TO DO IS GET SOMEONE TO SAY SOMETHING WITH A DEROGATORY TONE TO IT AND OBVIOUSLY MSNBC & CNNWILL FOLLOW THIER LEAD. WHO CARES WHO COMMITTED THE CRIME WHEN THE NATION IS A 50-50 NATION, RIGHT? MIGHT AS WELL SPREAD THE BLAME EQUALLY? (WHAT CRAP! THE GOP WOULD NEVER DO THAT. IN FACT, THEY HAVE CONSISTENTLY BLAMED EVERYTHING ON OBAMA INCLUDING THIER ASSAULT ON THE US ECONOMY & IT HAS WORKED, SO FAR).
STEP BY STEP OUTLINESEAN HANNITY USES THE TIME TESTED "LIBERALS ARE EVIL" TACTICWHICH HAS BEEN ANCHORED DEEP INTO THEIR VIEWERS PSYCHE.MOST VETERANS ARE GOP VOTERS, ESPECIALLY THE OLDER ONES, SO THEY ONLY WATCH FOX NEWS... SO LYING TO THEM IS EASY PROVIDING THEY DON'T STUMBLE ACROSS THE TRUTH. FORTUNATELY, MICHELLE BACHMANN HAS A SOLUTION THAT SEEMS TO FLATTER OLD PEOPLE INTO SUBMISSION (SEE BELOW).THIS ONE IS INTERESTING, THE GOP HAS ALREADY ADMITTED IT WANTS SOMETHING IN RETURN FOR OPENING UP THE GOVERNMENT (OF WHICH CONGRESS IS A PART OF)... SO TO BLAME THIS ON OBAMA IS JUST SO WRONG. IF THIS IS GOOD FOR NATIONAL SECURITY... I'LL EAT MY HAT.THE TACTIC CONTINUES, BASICALLY BLAMING EVERYTHING THEY DID ON THE DEMOCRATS. IT'S LIKE A THIEF BREAKING INTO A SAFE AND BLAMING IT ON THE CAT!THEN YOU GET TO TEST THE REAL METAL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE GOP'S POLICIES INCLUDING CUTTING FUNDING FOR FOOD STAMPS (MEALS FOR POOR), SOCIAL SECURITY (CHECKS FOR THE ELDERLY) AND MEDICARE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE PAUL RYAN PLAN IS LITERALLY DESIGNED TO INFLICT PAIN ON US CITIZENS. THE QUESTION IS THIS... IS THIS A LAST DITCH ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE US ECONOMY OR DOES FOX NEWS REALLY BELIEVE THEY CAN PULL OFF THESE LIES IN THE LONG RUN? I'M GUESSING THEY KNOW THEY HAVE LOST THE LOGIC BATTLE SO NOW DESTROYING AMERICA IS THEIR ONLY OPTION LEFT OR US CITIZENS WILL FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND LYNCH THEM!MEALS ON WHEELS IS SIMILAR TO FOOD STAMPS ISN'T IT? (ANSWER IS YES, JUST IN CASE!). YOU DO KNOW THAT CUTTING FOOD STAMPS IS PART OF THE PAUL RYAN PLAN (I.E. IT'S BEEN GOP POLICY FOR OVER 5 YEARS NOW)THIS PART IS GREAT! MICHELLE BACHMANN SAYS SHE WANT'S LESS GOVERNMENT BUT TO THE VETERANS BELOW SHE SAYS SHE WANTS MORE GOVERNMENT TO HELP THEM!HERE MICHELLE BACHMANN MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THIS SHUTDOWN HAS MADE HER AND HER FELLOWS "ENERGIZED":HERE MICHELLE BACHMANN MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THIS SHUTDOWN HAS MADE HER AND HER MEMBERS 'THE HAPPIEST IN A LONG TIME':THIS IS JUST SICKENING. TO BRING ANCIENT FOX NEWS LIES ABOUT BENGHAZI THAT THEY USED FOR MITT ROMNEY IN THE LAST GENERAL ELECTIONS IS JUST IMMORAL ON SO MANY LEVELS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY...
Moment of Zen - Michele Bachmann & The World War II Memorial - "The Reason I Jump" goes to number one and Michele Bachmann engages in the political theater of decrying political theater. (01:02) :
THE TACTIC HERE IS TO SAY THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WHAT YOU ARE THERE TO PROTECT OTHERS FROM. IT'S LIKE A PER-EMPTIVE STRIKE ON BEING CAUGHT RED HANDED...
Above: One Republican congressman voted against shutting down the government, so Samantha Bee finds out what's wrong with him.
Notes:
1. George Bush increased the debt ceiling in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006. 2007 and twice in 2008 2. Eric Cantor - only concession, "The fact they we are even talking about a debt ceiling increase. 3. They’re shutting it down: GOP demands Obamacare be gutted, or else 4. Fox News' False Statements - Fox News turns into a lying dynasty when PolitiFact checks the news network for false statements. 5. News Corp. gives $1 million to Republicans |
Government Shutdown Day Three - Barack Obama refuses to negotiate with Republicans, and GOP Rep. Marlin Stutzman admits that he doesn't know what the GOP wants. (03:34) :
YOU CAN'T BE ANY CLEARER ABOUT YOUR GOAL. IT'S TO "GET SOMETHING OUT OF THIS". THAT'S THE VERY DEFINITION OF "HOSTAGE". IF WE CAN'T DEFINE HOSTAGE CORRECTLY THEN NATIONAL SECURITY IS GOING DOWN THE TUBES.
THE US GOVERNMENT DOES NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS.
MOMENT OF ZEN |
Simple example: If you have 2 kids and one kid breaks a vase and blames your other kid... and to placate one of your kids you decide to spread the blame equally amongst both kids... EVERY PSYCHOLOGIST AND REAL TEACHER ON THIS PLANET WILL TELL YOU THAT"S BAD PARENTING. {In this example "we the people" are the parents and the 2 kids are the Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans are responsible for this shutdown and they got caught and are now scared. As parents we have to say, 'It's OK. You did bad. Next time you'll be better. Now you have to face the consequences for your actions and stop blaming your sister" (yes, most little boys go through this at some point in their lives, if they have younger siblings. However, the behavior was wrong and time out is necessary. For the GOP, an equivalent time out, would be to remove them from office)}
O God. This is the website MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT in it's testing phase before the healthcare program starts in January. Can anyone say red herring?
Actually this I can understand. The GOP are known for passing laws without doing any research into the matter. They like to make decisions by the seat of thier pants (or some other part of thier anatomy). So they probably did expect there to be no effect from the shutdown. That said, a good government functions so silently we don't even know it;s there. The GOP is, in a way, complimenting The Obama Administration for doing thier job so efficiently that we didn't even notice the Federal Government existed. It certainly wasn't that way under the last administration but the GOP is also bad with remembering history so they don't actually seem to remember the Patriot Act and it's modern consequence, the NSA.
SIMPLE PROOF FOR WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHUTDOWNNOTICE THAT A DEAL WAS OFFERED AND IGNORED TO PUSH FOR A SHUTDOWN OVER OBAMACARE.JOHN SPILLS THE BEANS ABOUT WHO CHOSE THIS SHUTDOWN...HE AND HIS "MEMBERS" DECIDED TO TAKE A STAND. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT "TAKE A STAND" MEANS. IF I DO THEN WE NEED TO SEND YOU BACK TO MIDDLE SCHOOL.
Do You Really Need More Proof Than This Of WHO Is Responsible For The Shutdown? If So, Here Is More Child Proof Logic...
YES. STOP THROWING A TANTRUM AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS. OR AT LEAST, STOP SAYING YALL ARE THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY AND CALL YOURSELVES WHAT YOU REALLY ARE, I.E. THE TRAITOR PARTY WHICH IS BUSY FOOLING IT'S BASE (RELEASE YOUR FINANCES AND TAXES TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE)... OR AT LEAST, JUST STOP THROWING A TANTRUM IF YOU CAN'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS AND SHUT UP.WHICH SIDE WILL BLINK? GOP IS PLAYING WILD WILD WEST KIND OF POLITICAL THEATRICS WITH THE CREDIT RATING OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OVER OBAMACARE!JOHN SAID IT. THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A STAND OVER OBAMACARE(AS PER THIER POLITICAL STRATEGY), THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND NOW THEY DON'T WANT TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THIER ACTIONS, DECISIONS AND MISTAKES! WOW! BEST PART IS THAT THESE GUYS ARE RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION SOON! :) |
