he said house democrats have now chosen to turn their backs on america s veterans. if the gop strategy is to make democrats look heartless, could it work? listen, i think the public sees through this. which three parts of government do you pick today? that s not what running government is about. we have a responsibility for the entire nation. you don t get to selectively choose what you re going to pick to fund for the day. do your job for the american people. do what you re sent here to do under the constitution. that s what s so infuriating about all of this is that quite the contrary. they continue to say we re going to do government piecemeal now. this is absurd to the american people and i think onlookers are going to continue to say, come on, be grownups about this. pass this law, put the country back to work. it s there right in front of
deadlines all detonate the same explosion. they threaten to crash the government if they don t like the way it s doing something. if they don t like who the american people have elected as republican. isn t what the republicans did in the old days? if they didn t like a government somewhere, guatemala, iran, chile, they just brought it down. guess what? republicans are now using the same tactic here at home. if they don t like who we have elected as president, they find some way to undermine the president. whatever it takes to destroy it. we are using in this country the same old cold war cia tactics to destabilize our own country. look at the impact this constant threats to shut down the government have been having on public confidence. it s all in the ratings. it s undermining it, making people forever nervous about the basic ability of america to even have a running government. that patriotic? i don t think so. that s hardball for now. thanks for being with us. the ed show with
