Rep. Steve King Says Government Shutdown Will Be President Obama's Fault

These guys aren't even pretending to live on this planet anymore.

"This is by far my favorite argument that I’ve seen coming from Republicans when it comes to pretty much anything.  It’s so absurd that it just makes me wish for a moment I could be inside their heads, because I would love to see what reality is like on their planet.

Because, based on comments such as those of Republican Rep. Steve King, many of them sure as heck aren’t living on this one.

See, according to Rep. King, if the government does end up getting shut down it won’t be the fault of Republicans—it’ll all be President Obama’s fault.

Let’s take a look at his “reasoning” for this:

“So the House will make sure that the funds are available.  And if the president should decide he’s going to shut down the government, it will never be the House of Representatives, if this happens it will be either an act of either Harry Reid and the Democrats in the Senate or the president or them working in conjunction with each other.  If the president decides to shut the government down, it will be the equivalent of a political tantrum, saying ‘I will have my piece of signature legislation even if the American people reject it and I’ll punish you by shutting the government down if I don’t get my way.’”

And he’s dead serious.

Basically, because the House passed legislation that funds the government but strips funding for the Affordable Care Act (which the president has clearly stated he would veto if it ever reached his desk — and it won’t), that’s King’s reasoning behind how this is President Obama’s fault.

>>>
Their reasoning is that the American people have "spoken" and we don't want 'ObamaCare'.

Desipte all the data coming in that it(ACA) is popular once people know that it will help them.

They keep spouting teabagger and Faux News taliking points that are pushed by the likes of the Koch(sucking) brothers that all of America is against.

I hope they keep this idiocy up through 2016.

Thanks for visiting.
