It will take a while, but when the GOP cleans up it's TParty mess, Congress will be able to function. The GOPShutdown won't last long. Boehner will bring clean CR to floor for vote, it will be passed, then we can do this all over for the Debt Ceiling episode. Makes for good reality TV, don't 'cha know, kind of like "DC Housewives".
The thread title is not complete. It is a partial government shutdown. The partial shutdown is solely a political move by King Obama and the Democrats, who are desperate to find an issue to run on during the 2014 midterm elections.
The GOP passed numerous resolutions fully funding the government, including the Affordable Care Act. The Democrats decided to shut down the government because they refused to even agree that Congress shouldn't get special subsidies to pay for the ACA.
The Democrats and Obama are counting on their pawns in the media to bail them out and run interference as usual. No doubt the media will play along dutifully. Nonetheless, the GOP has done absolutely nothing wrong here and I'm very proud of them for sticking to their guns. Already donated for the first time in many years this morning.

Thanks for proving that politics is the Democrats' sole motivation here. It surely isn't the good of the country or the good of the federal workforce.
The Democrats and Centrist's motivation is to get the Congress functioning and stop the nonsense of shutting down the Govt if a few people can't get their way.

The whole thing is reminiscent of a shouting match between 6-yr-olds on the playground:

Well, at least we now have a debate that our dumbed-down, public-school educated electorate can readily follow.
