    I think thats what they told him. We stayed and ate popcorn from our garbage bag while they cleared out (the cinema didnt provide cups or containers).

    the fructose and popcorn is almost zero cost to them so that **** was free.

    Meh, it is that simple.

    Private business operates this way.

    States operate this way..

    The government will soon operate this way..

    How about the government payroll checks? Government stops working the day the checks stop. This is what the GOP forced in 1993, a government shutdown. The public disapproved and they lost the 1994 elections. WHo would imagine that they would be so stupid as to do it again the year before an election.

    It's not the GOP forcing this. It's Pelosi and Reid, and Obama doesn't have the nads to buck those 2. Sorry to burst your bubble but as of right now, the GOP majority house has put a bill through. The Dem majority senate is killing any deal that can be made.

    Of course it is. This whole manufactured crisis is a result of the Tea Party GOP. everybody knows this.

    Pelosi is out of power. Obama doesn't need to buck his own party, the one that controls the Senate and the White House.

    A deal with a poison pill provision that they have always known will not fly. Nobody is fooled but the foolish. The minority has always had to compromise. It cannot get its entire agenda passed. It has never worked that way and won;t this time either. They either do their jobs and reach a compromise deal or they sink the economy of the country for purely political reasons . . . and then have to face the public in next years elections with that. It will be a rerun of the 1996 Clinton reelection.

    frankly i am stunned by how awesome the tea party people are. you never see politicians do anything this good, sticking to their principles and doing the right thing. particularly when it comes to cutting spending. obama should take his nobel prize and give it to these republicans.

    i am not exaggerating, this is some of the best stuff i have ever seen in politics. for once somebody has some GD principles.

    Intransigence is the hallmark of the Tea Party, not principles. The Tea Party predicts that allowing the financial default of the United States does not really matter all that much. Their "principles" are shallow, not well thought out, and will be blamed for the economic crisis that they are trying to create. In fact their "principles" are actually dogmatic rhetoric.

    There is no pro-active Tea Party agenda of accomplishments, only a blind ambition to diminish the nation.

    The Tea Party representatives want less: Less Social Security. Less Medicare and Medicaid. Less national defense. Less protection from pollution. Less support for education and the professionals teach our children. They want a lesser America and have no vision of the future beyond spending cuts.
