Government shutdown in 0 hours

That's just silly. If you have enough money to keep the servers online and serve a parked page, you have enough money to serve the real page. forget you NASA.

"forget you NASA"? I'm pretty sure this wasn't NASA's idea, I'm sure they'd all rather be working with their badass space stuff.

Could someone fill me in on whats going on? From what I've heard the republicans are being childish little bitches and not co-operating because they didn't get their wants through and pulled the government funding to stop Obamacare.

don't let yourself be so easily guided by the media

republicans won't pass a funding that includes obamacare, so they proposed a piecewise which would temporarily fund the necessary parts of the government.  democrats are refusing it because they say that they'll either fund everything or nothing.

they're both at fault and they're both loving stupid

Wow, i knew that most of the people in the Congress were stupid, but not that stupid.

Its strange how all you have to know in politics is how to kiss the most ass and boom, you're the president.

Well to be fair, ACA has already been deemed constitutional and is a law. For once it's not the GOP getting everything they want.

I didn't say "forget you for not doing your work, NASA." I was saying forget them for taking down their website when they obviously didn't need to. It wouldn't cost any more funds to serve the real site than a fake one.

IT'S SIMPLE! We just push the Republicans somewhere else!

Why don't Republicans just give it up, seriously. They have literally tried hundreds of times to repeal Obamacare, none worked, most Americans approve of Obamacare, and not only that but it is known that this will not damage the economy nor take away any jobs. It will actually lower premium costs for healthcare. The single reason why Republicans are so against this is because all they are doing is lobbying for healthcare companies! Please, give it a rest.

you can put your conspiracy tirade down now

and not only that but it is known that this will not damage the economy nor take away any jobs

YES. GENIUS. IT'S NOT LIKE PEOPLE ARE BEING PUSHED TO 29 HOURS TO AVOID HEALTHCARE PROVISIONS.

It will actually lower premium costs for healthcare.

so can you tell me how forcing healthcare companies to operate at a nearly guaranteed loss on people is going to lower the rates for everyone else already being covered?

Wow, it really says something when not even CNN can skew a poll enough where a majority of people would favor Obamacare. Out of 9 polls, not even one poll demonstrated a majority of people being in support of Obamacare.

I'm not even a Republican and I absolutely hate Obamacare. It's a horrible idea being horribly executed with horrible results.

Funkadelic, you're handicapped.

[Bisjac]

um funk... obamacare exists because of those companies. the ones you think republicans are trying to stop it for.

the insurance companies are the ones who lobbied to have this exist. they wrote most of it. and Obama and his crew were the shills making money on it being passed.

You remind me of the msnbc commenters that resort to blameing people. It's a shame the American people resort to blaming parties for their problems. "It's the conservitard Republicans fault!" or "No it's those no good liberal Democrats!". Can't be we all just be fellow Americans instead of Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, ect. Oh wait nope, "blah blah my needs, my party best represents me and screw your needs."
