But if they do, they might remember Obama's Benghazi, NSA, and IRS scandals and how the Democrats defended them all. So you might want to wish for a short attention span after all.

I'm not insisting on a clean bill, YOU ARE.. Why are you crying for a clean bill?

The irony of you telling me to use google, while you dont seem to be able to.. 1 more thing you cant do...

The fact that this shut down does not impact most citizen's lives as the Democrats declared would happen, has only made people realize that the gov't is too big. Now if the truckers choose to strike or close shop in opposition to Obama - this will make a much bigger impact on people's lives especially after a couple of days when gas and food deliveries stop.

Many businesses have their own fleet of delivery vehicles, ect.. Walmart - but they depend on the truckers to get the food, clothes and whatever else they sell to the distribution centers.

Weird because the Senates cant even seem to vote on those mini bills, but expected to take one big bill..

When govment goes out of its way to make things seen and felt because you don't notice 15% are inconsequential, you know your govment is to big.

They have figured out how to pay for it -> raise taxes. People will wake up on day to find out that Obama now considers them rich and he will demonize them on the campaign trail to try to make them pay higher taxes.

Obama wants an up or down, yea or nay vote.

President Obama dared Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Monday to prove there aren’t enough votes in the House to pass a “clean” bill to reopen the government.
