I'm sorry but please stop being naive No one wants the government to shut down. But guess what, republicans will be blamed. Actually, the conservatives have held the elder republicans hostage to get their way. Who's playing the game here.
It's already started. Other Republicans like John McCain and Peter King have already started blaming the radical tea party Republicans for this, and rightly so.
Welcome to the GOP of 2013, where a gov't shutdown increasing the cost of running the government means "fiscal responsibility", and demanding any conditions they want in exchange for keeping our country afloat is "compromise".
Why not just print more money and spend it on things that do not work like solar panels or buy guns for Mexican drug lords to track the guns what can go wrong with that.
Can someone that claims the democrats caused the shutdown help me out here. Given that obamacare passed into law, was upheld by the supreme court, obama was re-elected, and the attempts to repeal obamacare have failed over 40 times, where do republicans see any room for negotiation on this? And why do they think this is the proper place to do it, trying to tie it to the continuing resolution bill? Because it seems to me that the proper thing to do would be to pass this bill, and deal with obamacare separately. You can see why people are having a hard time with you backing republicans on this nonsense? The democrats should give in to this temper tantrum by compromising on something that has been decided nearly 50 times already? REALLY???
They learned it from the Democrats who have done this very thing for decades.
That's just more partisan hackery. Whoever had the last vote is not relevant. The fact is that both sides disagreed.
The demands of the House were unreasonable. You don't get to hold the government hostage to get your way on major legislation when you LOST the election on exactly that legislative debate.
No, the demands of the House were not only reasonable, they are the only option that is reality.
