I was looking up various factions of TP yesterday and this group seems to go a bit over the top with their zeal.

You seem to have changed your tune pretty quickly. Congrats.

I don't think his prior post was championing them.

Are the Republicans trying to Banana Republic the United States?

You know the dictators with the sun glasses usually only salary those they like as it were.....

Exactly. I don't expect the TP to give up on defunding Obamacare since they represent safe districts and could care less if the country goes down the tubes. Cruz is calling for a default!

Rajoo is no 'bagger, Pat. I'll vouch for him. He's an evil industrialist! Just kidding, Raj.

BTW Raj, did you end up keeping that Elac table, or did your friend end up with it? Just curious.

For now I have it Marc. An Ak'er in India is interested and I am looking for ways to send it to him. My friend in PDX was not interested in a vintage changer.

"President Obama opened talks with House Republicans on Thursday about their plan to lift the federal debt limit through late November, raising hopes that Washington would avert its first default on the national debt.
But after a 90-minute meeting at the White House, the two sides remained at odds over how and when to end the government shutdown — now in its 11th day — with Obama insisting that Republicans reopen federal agencies before negotiations over broader budget issues can begin."

Looks like President Obama turned these half measures down flat. Anything less would be negotiating with blackmailers, imo.

The Republicans need to stop stumbling around in this dark wasteland of their own making and accept the fact that they have made a huge blunder trying to force the hand of this President.

BIggest political crisis since Watergate?

They need to just end it now...waiting and stalling will hurt everyone just more.
