Why does the Tea Party get accused of shutting down the govt?

Question

When it was Obamacare they wanted to shut down.

They were willing to fund the rest of government, except Obamacare.

It was the Democrats who said "Fund Obamacare, or we won't accept any piecemeal funding for the rest of the govt."

Democrats said "Obamacare or shutdown".

Answer 1

Adolf Hitler said that "if you tell a lie often enough the people will believe it!" Evidently you think so, too.



The video remains of Ted Cruz and other Tea Party types demanding the shutdown, and bemoaning after the fact that their fellow Republicans did not "ride in like the cavalry" in their support.



You did this. Wear it proudly, wear it shamefully, you earned it and will not be allowed to blame it on others.

Answer 2

The Tea Party is so completely stupid that they don't realize that the health

care program has already been funded and there was no way to de-fund

the program or new law...And our current President was not going to

Congress, oh gosh gee. I guess we should end the program. And during

the 2 weeks that at least 20% of the federal agencies were shut down

at at cost of 24 billion dollars; the **** for brains assholes and bitches of

the Tee Party / GOP made demand after demand for reopening the departments

all closed during that 2 week period. And each time that a demand was made by

these completely stupid idiots / bitches of the GOP and Tea Party; the President

and Democratic members all said NO. And after the pathetic idiots and bitches

of the Tea Party and GOP didn't get any of their pathetic demands for reopening

the federal agencies closed at the time; after 2 weeks, the so called leadership

of the House, allowed the pathetic GOP / Tea Party members to vote along with

the Democratic members of Congress..and the 20% of federal offices were again

reopened. Two weeks later, Nothing gained by the pathetic assholes and bitches

of the Tea Party and GOP ...but at a cost of 24 billion dollars. Oh and one more

thing, the current health care law is not a disaster but what is a disaster is the

record of the assholes and bitches of the Tea Party and GOP. And when the

people again go to the polls in November 2014 and 2016; the vast majority

of people will again be in agreement with me as to whom is worthy of being

elected...and whom is not..

Answer 3

The reality of it is that the government was never "SHUT DOWN".



It was a fabricated disaster coined by MSNBC (surprise) to galvanize populist support for Contemporary neo-Fascism (Reliance on Bureaucratic Centralization [Historial Economical Suicide] and "Government Officials" to act as Mediators in all aspects of Life)



Another fact is that more than 85% of citizens of the USA were completely unaffected by it.



If you read articles printed from Volkischer Beobachter and Pravda in the 1930's and 40's, you will draw concrete parallels to today's Media outlets.



Emergencies are created within and propagated by the Fascists almost weekly; This is also how, throughout History, countries fell apart:



"Emergency Powers"



From the Dictatorship Clause of the Roman Republic which subsequently transitioned it to the Roman Empire under a single "Dictator", to the Enabling Act of Nazi Germany, right on down to Executive Directive 51 today; "Emergency Powers" were always the underlying reason.



Just pay attention, and you'll start to connect the dots.



Hitler caused disorder and chaos during the elections in Germany (Which the Nazi Party subsequently LOST the November before he was appointed Chancellor anyway, which the Fascists today seem to think Hitler was "Democratically Elected" rofl) and then claimed he could stop it all from happening.



It's a tried and, unfortunately, true, tactic of Saul Alinsky and the Radical Leftist Machine.

Answer 4

Another Teabagger con that does not understand how government works. The ACA (ObamaCare) is a LAW, you can't defund an existing law, willy-nilly. The House tried this 40-odd times, it failed! When will you all figure this out, you just don't get your way all the time (oh, you could try holding your breath for say an hour).

Answer 5

The Tea Party Patriots DID shut down the government. Something they should be proud of. It only proved how bloated the government is, that they could "furlough" over 800,000 NON-ESSENTIAL employees, and life goes on without a hitch.

Answer 6

Because the media takes the liberal side always.



They are nothing more than willing propagandists for the Democrat Party.

Answer 7

Because it was the Tea Pot people in the GOP who forced the issue, and it back-fired on them....perhaps because they understood as little about politics as YOU seem to!

Answer 8

You know how hostages work. You are almost ready to join the Taliban.

Answer 9

Liberals an BHO blame anyone an everyone for their faileds poilicies
