US Federal Government Shutdown

Who cares. To hell with the GOP.

The proscription is to eliminate government from our lives as much as possible while keeping what works, maybe. Have fun with your crappy status quo. Let's see where the Democrats take the country after they beat the GOP out of all parts of government. Maybe it will be good places.

I don't want money, I don't really care about the economy, I don't want a house. Go get them, tigers. They are all yours. I just want to break your stuff.

Okay, okay, it's pretty obvious that somebody needs a hug.

I think the shutdown is a win/win. If they can use to to generate some real talk about the size and scope of government- great. If it instead backfires and cripples the GOP... who cares? If they can't be a political and ideological foil to the Democrats, then to hell with them anyway. They're too often little more than scapegoats for Obama's failed policies as is. Democrats had majorities in both the House and Senate and still made a hash of things... because of the Republicans, obviously.

Everything the Teabaggers say and do is loud, overly aggressive, often bigoted, patronizing, and blatantly anti intellectual.

The same applies to the other side as well. If you can't see that, you need to take the blinders off.
