Thanks for your simple thought in all this, simpleton.
Ah, your old boss is paying you to post his crap, yet again. What are we up to – 3 “articles” that headline or mention Sanford a day now?
Whereas we get 1 from Mulvaney and 1 from Duncan. None from the others.
How would the nation react if Obama were the one making extortionate demands over the debt ceiling?
For example, it would be entirely within his constitutional powers to demand that Congress enact a health insurance single-payer plan to replace “Obamacare” as a condition for not vetoing any debt ceiling bill.
Congress would need 2/3 of its members to override his veto, and Republicans do not have that supermajority in either chamber. Forget about impeachment as well. It takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict, if you remember the last time Republicans tried that tactic.
There are enough bought congressmen to override Obama trying to force a shutdown over single payer. He couldn’t pass a public option when he had majorities in both houses for that very reason.
“the President has chosen to close things like the Lincoln Memorial, which has never been closed at any point in our country’s history”
I guess July 2013 was not part of our country’s history?

They closed it for inspection and a few others after the earthquake in 2011 too. With all the craziness happening in DC – The chinese woman throwing paint on the monuments, a paranoid delusional woman attempting to drive thru barricades and the man setting himself on fire at the mall, maybe they do need 24/7 NPS security.
It was closed in ’94-’95 as well for refurbishment – not as a result of the “gubamint” shut down as CNN has been implying.
“So my simple thought”
Has there ever been any other?
“I like poon.”
“I want poon.”
“I love myself.”
*Homer Simpson voice*
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm poon…….”
How about not planning for months to force a government shutdown and then blast out a “toolkit” PDF to politicians and “grassroots” organizations alike with written talking points and prepared tweets to regurgitate propaganda and spin it so that America will blame Democrats instead?

Just past the goddamn CR and -then- cobble together something workable with the time it buys everyone. Whittle it down step by step instead of stamping your feet and demanding you get your way. It’s called governing, Sanford, God forbid you ever try it.
God, every time I am forced to look at this embarrassments face it makes me angry. Could this state be any more screwed up, than to have this nut representing us.
Could this state be any more screwed up, than to have this nut representing us.[?]
Absolutely! We could have Lindsey Graham as a Senator and Jim Clyburn as a representative.
Wait a minute…
It’s always said we are running out of Social Security……Why the hell can’t we run out of Welfare!!!
I hear it is now official . . . effective tomorrow you will need to log in at http://www.SANFORDSNEWS.COM instead of the usual http://www.FITSNEWS.COM – apparently if you go to http://WWW.FITSNEWS.COM as of tomorrow you will receive a message to “TAKE A HIKE” . . .
I would love for someone to figure out how much money this taker has taken from the taxpayers over the past decade and a half. Will this low life never go away? I mean between his federal and state government pay, his federal and state government health care, and his federal and state government retirement, how much have we paid this buffoon?
At the end of the day I wish he would quit saying/writing “at the end of the day”. Please, just stop.
It is what it is.
I’m not mourning the closing of the Lincoln memorial. Funny how being president when three million Americans die makes you “great”.
Sanford is holding out for new sheets for the office futon…….Soulmate is getting a rash from the nubbies on the old sheets………..By the way they’ve been engaged for over a year now,when does she move from mistress to wife?
Never will happen. Since Jenny is still single, Mark will hold out for possible reconciliation.
I read somewhere that Sanford’s staff is being recalled to work. The Pentagon has recalled its civilian staff. Something smells. Did our “Republican” Congresspersons sell us out and cut a deal under the table that we haven’t been told about yet?
I’ve been expecting them to sell out and roll over on Obamacare funding.
