If this happens with the GOP we can bend over and kiss it all goodby. The way I see it is if we lose the Tea Party and Cruz et al then the constitution will be a thing of the past.
At this point the establishment repubs are a hell-of-a-lot more dangerous to the constitution than the dems ever hoped to be. The biggest two face of the bunch is Cornyn. He is running adds in Texas claiming to be a conservative. What a joke.
Your links are just more MSM hype. I wonder if you realize how dumb your point 1 is.

For all the pundits who think the market is controlled by reason and technically accuracy, stop and think about some points such as these:
1. Just the hint of doubt of missing the date the USA has promised is making their value drop it doesnt matter whether there is or isnt enough money there.
2. Buyers remember getting burned from the 2011 S&P downgrade some are trying to anticipate a similar affect.
3. The discount on bills to be paid on Oct. 24 has grown by 400 percent since the beginning of the month; on Wednesday, it jumped 24 percent.
4. The market doesnt forget getting burned in 2008 when politicians promised that theyd bail out the banks then the GOP House made the same argument as now, Its all MSM hype. The GOP politicians that believed they knew the market watched helplessly as the market plunged after Washington Mutual failed and Wachovia was forced into sale.

You don't think there could be more support for an IMF global standard? Here's more food for thought about the so-called MSM and Obama hype argument:

There is plenty revenue available to pay the interest on the debt. There is no possibility of default. This is Obama and MSM hype.

The full faith and credit of the United States has been a given: The safest place to put your money is in US debt because we always pay. World finance agreements, from local government pensions to mortgage rates for Asian condos, depend upon one thing the word of the United States of America. Written on the sale of debt is the promise from the United States of America that the buyer will receive a certain interest at a certain date.
If that promise is broken with a failure of next weeks debt ceiling, what will become the new standard? No one knows for sure. Some believe that US debt will still be the global standard except that interest rates, bankers and the stock market will take a short-term hit. Others believe US debt will be replaced by gold, some think the Euro or British pound. However, Chinese bankers have been pushing since 2009 that a new global system in the International Monetary Fund should replace US treasuries. He has been gaining support from South America to Turkey, Asia to Eurozone. Zhou Xiaochuan may get more international support next week.
Talk of forcing a repeal of obamacare for a refusal to raise the debt ceiling is bad advice for America due to the consequence - Global Government Control of the American economy. This is far worse than having obamacare. Obamacare is a law that can be changed like any law can. The freedom in the United States of America that having a global standard of US debt affords however, cannot be restored if we have to succumb to the rates of a Chinese controlled international monetary fund. We dont appreciate this exceptional benefit, threatening it when faced with the hard work required to repeal a law. We have become a society that prefers quick schemes and loop holes over hard work, while c*******t patiently wait for us to reveal an opportunity to seize control. It is ironic, focus on the small personal liberty gain to make a bad choice (i.e. not buy health insurance) yet miss the monumental importance of being able to pursue the American dream because US debt is a global standard.

I know it's not nearly as old, but "Lonesome Dove" was as good as any western I've every seen! :thumbup: It had a distinct advantage, though....it was a series. :roll: I still have it up there with the best. Are there any character roles better than the two, old, crusty Texas Rangers played by Tommy Lee Jones, and Robert Duval?
I have walked many of the areas where scenes were filmed
for that movie series. :thumbup: :mrgreen:
I agree. I have the DVDs and watch again from time to time. Good example of a man sticking to his word.

Nice example of judging. You don't know me nor my opinions. But now I know something of yours.
Not pure western but I really enjoyed The Treasure of Sierra Madre. A lot of lessons in human behavior in that one.
Another thing that is missing is good old western music. Like Marty Robbins, Sons of the Pioneers, Tex Ritter,Eddy Arnold,Red Foley.
Thank God we still have unadulterated blue grass.

Give me some more Johnny Mack Browns, Lash Larues, Durango Kids, Tex Ritters, Whot Gibsons, Especially Randolph Scotts and Joel McCraes. Maybe a few Eddie Deans, Tim Holts, Etc. Oh, don't forget the funny guys. Fuzzy St. John, Smiley O'Brian, C***ta and others. I guess my favorite has always been Randolph Scott. Sure wish he had more western. John Wayne made western way back in the thirtes, until his death. Looks to me like, Hollywood would make more good hour westerns, since the western encore network is so strong on cable. What do you all, ole coots think.

I am watching it now and there is nothing to it. A rehash of last week's news with THE FIVE who have already gone over this stuff.
She looks like she just got out of bed with that stupid hairdo.
She had better do something different or the ratings will suck.
My all time favorite western is Red River. The John Wayne classic. I will admit a little shine came off of it when I found out that Montgomery Cliff was q***r.

Last in education, last in health care, what has it grown in? More pollution, more billions for billionaire, more poor people?
You need to do some homework before making a statement like this. I am not in love w/Perry but this post is BS to the MAX. Texas is nowhere near last in these items and the successes now enjoyed by the state are largely because of the republican legislature. It might interest you to know that the power in Texas is by and large vested in the legislature and not the governor.
It has grown in population because the libs have taken over CO.,CA. & WA. and smart people are moving to Texas not to mention many businesses. They are not all wrong.
All new members of congress receive a frontal lobotomy when they arrive in DC free paid for by the gov't.
All you have to do is read Cloward & Piven to see what and why. Everything is working just fine with Obama's plan.

Same can be said for the judge. His show got booted because of the "WHAT IF SHOW" he did on Fox.

Just before the weekend, the National Park Service informed charter boat captains in Florida that the Florida Bay was "closed" due to the shutdown. Until government funding is restored, the fishing boats are prohibited from taking anglers into 1,100 square-miles of open ocean. Fishing is also prohibited at Biscayne National Park during the shutdown.
The Park Service will also have rangers on duty to police the ban. Of access to an ocean. The government will probably use more personnel and spend more resources to attempt to close the ocean, than it would in its normal course of business.
This is governing by temper-tantrum. It is on par with the government's ham-fisted attempts to close the DC WWII Memorial, an open-air public monument that is normally accessible 24 hours a day. By accessible I mean, you walk up to it. When you have finished reflecting, you then walk away from it.
At least that Memorial is an actual structure, with some kind of perimeter that can be fenced off. Florida Bay is the ocean. How, pray tell, do you "close" 1,100 square miles of ocean? Why would one even need to do so?
Apparently, according to an anonymous Park Service ranger, Weve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. Its d********g.
Centuries ago, King Canute famously failed to command the ocean tide to stop. His display was actually a means to educate his subjects on the limits of royal power. Today, however, our President actually believes he has the power to control the oceans.
