Wow a rightie quoting weakipedia as a final source of authority. Must be a sign of the apocalypse. As someone who was actively involved in the politics back then, I can swear under oath nobody on the Democratic side with a brain believed in PUMA as a real group of Democratic dissidents. Another fun fact: Rush Limbaugh is on record actively encouraging Republicans to vote in the Democratic primaries in 2008. So yeah, dumbass, it really happened.
You were actively involved in politics back then? Work for Barney Fwank, did ya? As far as anyone believing a democrat just because they're under oath, you hero Clinton ruined that for ya.
I used the word bet. Saying and betting are two different things. Most politicians are not sane people.
its hard to believe that anyone could be a more vile liar than you kut2k2. you know damn well Reid demanded that obamacare be funded or he would shut down the govt. The senate declined to pass the funding bill passed by the house so Reid shut down the govt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_government_shutdown_of_2013 The deadlock centered on the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2014, which was passed by the House of Representatives on September 20, 2013.[12] The Senate stripped the bill of the measures related to the Affordable Care Act, and passed it in revised form on September 27, 2013.[12] The House reinstated the Senate-removed measures, and passed it again in the early morning hours on September 29.[12] The Senate declined to pass the bill with measures to delay the Affordable Care Act, and the two legislative houses did not develop a compromise bill by the end of September 30, 2013, causing the federal government to shut down due to a lack of appropriated funds at the start of the new 2014 federal fiscal year.
My spin unspins your spin. The House declined. The Senate could have added a measure to fund a new manned mission to the moon. Would the House have approved that bill, even if it left in their measures to delay the ACA?
