Averting A Shutdown

Last night a government shutdown was averted by the Republicans giving in. This is not what the majority of the congress was sent to do. It is a great disappointment to all people that voted for tea party candidates. This setback will now require a reassessment of the candidates that won, were they really going to reduce the size of government? If not, then a new crop of representatives will be needed, incumbents will be questioned more closely this time around. Senator Schummer was quoted as saying: "Never, never, never defund Planned Parenthood." He has no concern about the size of government. Tea Party people are concerned about the size of government and it's intrusion into the lives of people. Never, never, never will they stop trying to reduce it's size.

  • If as you say "Tea Party people are concerned about the size of government and it's intrusion into the lives of people."

    Then they would be more apt to stay out of a woman's uterus. Sadly, this does not seem to be the case.

    They were not trying to "reduce the size" of government by defunding Planned Parenthood. They were trying to push their idealogical ways on to the rest of us.

  • The true concern is the God given right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness guaranteed in our founding documents. It is babies that are eliminated and denied life. I recall how much love you expressed with your twins, shouldn't all babies have the right to be born?

  • Adrienne,

    How were you able to paragraph in your comment? I seem to have lost that ability.

  • If you believe it, fight for it. But don't pretend it's an ecomomic issue.

  • Perhaps in that "pursuit of happiness" some would be better off not being born as those who are fighting for their rights are with the other hand cutting the social funding that will benefit them after wards.

    I just hit return when I want a new paragraph

  • I am chuckling to myself because after about four careful scans on the keyboard I still cannot find a return button. I did push one button I never use and it turned my screen blank.

  • Sometimes called 'enter' with an arrow under it meaning 'return'

  • OK, thanks, now I know to what you were referring. I have always been able to paragraph using that key. Something must be wrong with my program.
