Boy, you talk about absolute garbage!

The GOBers think we are so naive that they feel so bad about the shutdown which will cause heartaches for so many Americans!

Hogwash! Easy way out for them to blame the democrats for this!

They have been trying so hard to kill many of these programs that benefit the constituents of their own district. Not giving a hoot about the actual problem that we are facing!

Remember when Reagan tried to kill Social Security benefits, saying that it was an easy out for everyone to make money?

They rather hold power over the very people who put them in office, especially the Grand Poopy Pa himself! He doesn’t give lick about his supporters, his own family or his own actions! He wants the limelight to himself.

So, they can bellyache all they want about how terrible the democrats are for allowing the shutdown to happen. This was their agenda from the beginning! But this time it’s going to be a disaster for so many reasons.

I’m sure we are going to end up with a desperate situation where we fend for ourselves. A depression is coming to a country near you! It’s only going to get worse and harder to recover from.

I hope that I’m wrong, but the top GOBers are in it for themselves and will screw this country one way or another!

when you add the anti science emotionalism and fundamentalist fervor we are looking at "dark ages"

even if we beat these guys our economy is hopeless and a dose pf socialism will be necessary to restore civilization.
