I'll gather a rag-tag band of soldiers and march on DC. I'll oust the existing authoritarian leader and begin to rebuild America with more than 2 parties for each election.
Everyone wins.
Except the Authoritarian leader.

In all seriousness, I doubt they go that far, GOP or Dems will cave...
Should they let it go, it won't be for long...
It is not my guy or your guy my issue, My probelm as a veteran was sending over 5000 fellow military members to die to make the rich richer. Oh yeah and for PRETENDING to be in the military
Then blame your Congress, including Democrats for authorizing the Iraq war. Then blame them some more for upping the ante in Afghanistan, ( you know the "right war" as stated in the 2004 campaign) and blame your President for Libya as Congress wasn't even asked about this latest excursion.
I think it's good they upped the ante, but only if they maintain the deadline for getting the hell out of there. You're never gonna eradicate the taliban, all you can do is instill a military and police for who aren't corrupt and are competent enough to keep them at bay.
They are essentially a gang that has gotten too far, like the Cartels or the Mob, but leaning more toward the cartels in their willingness to fight the military and kill in the streets.
As someone in a military community, I can tell you this. 90% of the people in the area who are effected by losing military business are blaming the Republicans if it goes down.
The news, newspapers, and almost everyone you talk to here is looking at Republicans as the blame for all of this talk. If they want to hold onto the Florida panhandle in the next election, they'd better do something PDQ.
Telling lies ove and over again won't make it true. The blame can only be laid at the feet of the democrats.. They still haven't passed last years budget.
The Republicans will win this one like they are winning everything because they are on the side of right. They are going to save the country from the corrupt WH...
I would hardly call Obama "gutsy". Remember this is the same Obama that follows U.N. orders to start another war in Libya and doesn't even consult Congress that is the only government body according to the Constitution that can declare war. This is the same Obama that has been nothing more than a puppet for the New World Order and corporate interests (like BP) that put him in office. Let's put things in perspective.
Any shutdown of Congress and the Obama administration could only BENEFIT the country as there would be less time available for Congress to do continue to do more damage than has already been done.
I think the fact that Obama is arrogant enough to run for re-election after his poor performance is a slap in the face to Americans if he thinks they would be DUMB enough to re-elect him. It just goes to show how CLUELESS the American electorate has become even if the election is close.
Are the republicans stubborn enough not to compromise is the better question.
I find this amusing. This is nothing more than mere deflection by the Democrats in an effort to win cheap political points in an effort to try and turn it into political capital as they think Clinton did back in '96. If the Democrats were actually serious about passing a budget, Harry Reid would have called for a full Senate vote on the House passed budget bill. He chose to not do so. Why do you think that is? The Senate could have, through their vote, decided whether this House passed budget was acceptable or not. However, Harry Reid has instead decided to go with the Republicans are causing a shutdown argument. Point me to the Democrat's budget bill they passed again?? Oh that's right, you can't because they did not pass a budget, they did not even attempt to pass one, and are instead banking on the ignorance of the public and I believe this will backfire on them.
