And frankly, the media narrative will be negative across the board. but won wonders what will happen if within a few weeks we pass both bills if will there be headlines about democrats have glorious victory and deserve re-election? >> fair point. either way, they will either say you spend like drunken sailors. fair point. john, the congressman makes a good point. a party that acts in bad faith isnt going to get credit if they get something done, they will just say you are spending to much money....

Workers not receiving a paycheck, but in some instances, work either isnt getting done or vendors may not be getting paid, so theres a collateral, debt mental impact on the economy and on helping those americans who rely on the federal government. this is a very unfortunate situation. i hope it gets rectified. im very pessimistic it gets rectified any time soon. as we saw a while ago, the notion of getting rid of a concrete wall and having a different wall is viewed by a concession. the politica...

Volumes of what is lacking in his moral core, which is a huge amount of decency or it shows he will say anything or not say anything to remain in political office. you know, i find that i have to say, so hypercritical and quite frankly, un-american and enraging that many of the elected officials who make statements like these are also the ones who promote their quote, unquote, christian values. you know whose babies these are? they are gods children. this congressman points out immigrant childre...

In this shut down. >> right. >> as the congressman points out these are cousins, brothers, sisters and neighbors of people. the effects will be felt around the country fairly immediately. unlike the sequester. >> they will be. as you are pointing out, we have seen the president. the president has a lot of credibility here. he has gone to the republicans and negotiated in the past. he has, at times when myself and other democrats have said you should draw the line here. we cant keep going back to...
