That's news to everyone currently residing in the real world.
The problems started in 2007 when the DEMS had control of congress

Even if 37 GOP Representatives lost their jobs over the shutdown (not going to happen), that would be less than the 63 liberals who were fired in 2010 over Obamacare. And more liberals are going to pay the price for Obamacare in 2014 and 2016. Can't wait!
Add that to the above delusion ... you guys have NO idea what's going on here in the real world, do you? Come out of the basement ...

I don't think they ever step outside the teaparty bubble. IF they did, they might realize that the vast majority of the American voting public - blames the GOP for the shut down.

Why does the world outside the teaparty not view it that way? Why was Bachmann so happy and crowing that HER PARTY was so happy because they shut down the government? Hell, they took credit for it and are threatening to do it again.

Face it - the teaparty OWNS the shutdown. Even their own party was calling them on it!

FORWARD KOMRADE!!!!

Even if was all Dems or Republicans they would still be grid lock. The only thing that binds the Dems togather is having a common opponent. How else can so many people with naturally opposing views stay together. Lets see the largest groups that typically vote Dems: Unions, People for Illegal Aliens, Jews, Muslims, Gays. If it wasn't for the Republicans most of these groups would be at each others throats. Same applies to Republicans wrt to Rightys and moderates.

The shutdown is over folks. The only people obsessing about it are the talking nitwits on MSNBC and posters here. Obamacare is currently a disaster. What's funny is Democratic senators are now calling on the president to do what the TP recommended in the first place, yet no one is calling them terrorists. Go figure.

If you were a brainwashed Obamalemming, you'd be trying to talk about anything other than Obamacare, too.

WTH does that have to do with anything? Are you smoking something illegal?


Melissa Harris-Perry would eat you for lunch in a debate, Petch. MHP was sorta joking and poking fun at the Texas legislature. How does that make ME delusional? Saying it does makes you sound ... sad and pathetic, actually.

Interesting theory.. Just like the one that a Mixed race person would never be elected president. Yeah... They did that one, and now look what happened.
