    As long as the GOP hates ObamaCare more than they love the USA, more Americans will die.

    Of course. General party support for a given war initiative is based almost entirely on which party is calling for it. Same with many other policies.

    Surely people are well aware of this by now.

    As are about a MILLION Federal employees, whom I see no need to put back on the public teat.

    All anyone has to do when he thinks he's lost to to keep walking until he finds a bear. Then the bear will eat him and the bear will always know where he is.

    Stupid people tend to get lost. Therefore they should stay in their houses instead of going to national parks where we have to pay a lot of people to find them.

    Aye. State and private entities could easily manage a whole lot of what the feds have greedily taken over, and now shut down.

    Repubs hate little kids and won't give them anything to eat. Repubs also think that little kids don't need access to doctors. Repubs just killed a dozen little kids today because they starved them to death.

    Repubs don't want to tax rich people to help fund the government.

    The lost woman is a Repub voter from Idaho. Idaho voted for Romney. So Romney should spend a few bucks and go rescue her. She wanted a smaller government and now she has one.

    Terrorist I guess only has real meaning when referring to the opposing party, and not when arming and hiring Al-Qaeda, our sworn enemy.

    With all due respect... all who call either party terrorists, can go (*)(*)(*)(*) yourselves.

    How else would you call a group of people holding innocent people hostage in order to promote political ideology?

    Is it? Because letting this stand is a bad precedent for the future, even if you don't support the Affordable care act, there is always going to be the next topic that the radicals among the Republicans are going to shut the government down for.

    What will the topic be next time? Perhaps women's access to birth control? Really, that's not out of the blue, I saw tweets from the Senators on cspan, two nights ago, as the House and Senate were voting back and forth before the midnight deadline, that, at one point, they pointed out that there was finally not a provision to limit women's access to birth control.

    You know, if these crazy demands weren't in the early back-and-forth of that evening there would have been at least a whole other hour to hash things out.

    I think this is all because we went to war in the middle east a decade ago. The extremists on the right took a lesson from all the wrong people (the terrorists) in the middle east and have been growing more radical with each passing year. Sometimes it's good that Americans don't know more about the world outside the USA because look what happens. With that in mind, I shudder to think what would happen if the USA ever went to war in Africa.

    If Obama and the Dems cave now, next year the Tea Party will demand the end to Medicaid, or the EPA, or FEMA, or the Department of Education....or they will shut down the govt.


    the legislative terrorists (Tea Party) need to understand that America doesn't negotiate with terrorists.

    Both sides are "shutting the government down" here, as both are taking a firm stand, and it's only being done in a limited capacity anyway. The rest is posturing and propaganda.

    Boehner refuses to let the House vote on a bill that was passed by the Senate, and the votes are in the House to pass that bill.

    It's clear that Congress shut down the government over Obamacare. That's not a debateable point.

    Those who believe our medical system doesn't need an overhaul are simply uninformed.
    The number one cause of bankruptcy in America is medical expenses (62% of all personal bankruptcies).

    Before engaging in partisan rhetoric that centers around attacking politicians for engaging in partisan rhetoric, perhaps the actual facts should be evaluated.

    It's typical for cult members, when their deepest held beliefs are exposed as untrue, to double down on the nonsense that they have been fed.
    So today, as the switchboards and websites were overwhelmed with the millions of Americans signing up for ObamaCare, and their cherished belief that this would be rejected by the American people is exposed as nonsense, they cling to fragments of their shattered belief system, like the thoroughly debunked right wing fantasy about FEMA Region III ...http://www.snopes.com/politics/conspiracy/fema3.asp

    Can a liberal give us an example of Obama ever taking responsibility for something? All he ever does is blame somebody else.

    Boehner is 100% responsible for the shutdown.

    he refuses to let the House vote on a clean spending bill.

    he has all the power.

    - - - Updated - - -

    sorry bro, but the House could vote on a clean spending bill this instant, if Boehner let them.
