The GOP is trying to mitigate the effects of a shutdown by choosing to protect certain groups that their own base cares about, but letting others suffer the full consequences. They care nothing for the more than 800,000 workers who simply want to do their jobs who will be subjected to yet another furlough without pay at the hands of the House Conservatives. That's 800,000 workers and their families who will suffer financially, but the GOP sheds no tears for them.
They will only suffer if the Democrats refuse to pass a CR that funds the government without Obamacare. The GOP has already compromised on every other aspect of the budget other than that.
Wwaaaaa, waaaaa, we must protect governmernt employees who earn far more than most people do..
Whats it feel like to defend millionaires while screwing little childrens futures Jude?
Oh, please. Show me all those government workers who have become millionaires on their government salaries. They are just ordinary Americans struggling like everyone else to put food on the table and raise their families; who want to work for their living; who are asking nothing more than to be allowed to continue to do their jobs. And for that they are demonized by the right.

WOW! You're making a great argument for the conservative viewpoint of having a smaller government!
I'm sure that you would agree that our troops are more important than anyone else?
and, if this shutdown forces the delay of obamacare, 60,000,000 (that's 60 million) American taxpayers will benefit.

The GOP has compromised on nothing. The CR they are attempting to get the Senate to pass strips funding for Obamacare and maintains sequester level spending, which is something the GOP wants and the Democrats don't. And it is for all of two freaking months, when we get the thrill of doing this all over again, and when the GOP will demand more cuts/defunding/delaying of the ACA. What, pray tell, has the GOP compromised on?
I can see why liberals would be confused. See, the Tea Party caucus is actually doing what their constituents put them in office to do; Everything in their power to stop Obamacare. Liberals, especially pundits inside the Beltway are confused that the Tea Partiers are actually putting their constituents ahead of what benefits them politically.
I say, let them shut it down. I want to hear the pigs squeal when they watch their lucrative contracts grind to a halt. Don't forget they are the ones that are stealing our tax money. Six of the 10 richest counties are in the DC area.
Shut. It. Down.
The rest of the country will probably just yawn like we did with the sequester.

Government employees make on average 30% more than the average american.. spare me the waa waaa waa, their struggling and suffering. Most of them didnt even face any problems when the economy crashed.

Of course not.
They, like their employer (government) are unaccountable for anything.
I say if there is another shutdown we as americans have the right to lynch all the politicians responsible. Who knows the next time we see beohner crying is when his severed head is impaled on a pike in front of congress.
