Spoiled brats unable to win on merit decide to take everybody down with them. The new Republican Party extorted by the most vile Anti-Americans ever.

Stop the insanity. Get some principles, not just irrational prejudices.

[johnforbes]

Well, the problem is that some do indeed have principles.

Such as not spending money you don't have.

Such as not forcing Obamacare on the more than half the country which doesn't want it.

[BilboBagend]

Yes, those are among the obvious lies that the unprincipled keep on touting.

The neocons are toast.

The teabaggers are using this shutdown as a pretty expensive way to solidify their base before the elections....

[johnforbes]

Obama imposed socialized medicine on all Americans to solidify his base.

America had the best health care system of any big country in the history of mankind.

Before this is over, it'll be yet another socialized medicine pit, with higher costs and lower quality.

Congress passed through regular sessions of Congress and Obama signed the ACA bill. Democratic process created the bill. The Supreme Court upheld it;s constitutionality, The people re-elected President Obama who campaigned on retaining the ACA.

A few radical extremist terrorists (40-50) are subverting all democratic process and the peoples will to extort Republican members of Congress and the people of the United States and are doing what they planned from the beginning, even before the election, and are doing with glee, shutting down the government.

Those are the very simple facts.
