Biggest issue if the government shuts down?

[Mr.Bill]

Love it, or hate it Obamacare is the law. It was signed into law and the USSC ruled that it was constitutional.

If the GOP wants to change, or repel it then do it BY the rules and laws of Congress.. Not holding the country and economy hostage..

Since when does a minority party get to pick and choose what laws it will obey, and what ones it won't?

How in any way you can look at these drooling lunatics and think anything they're going to suggest is "reasonable" is beyond me. They all need to be purged out of gov't. Forever.

Please - can we turn down the rhetoric? We don't have to agree with them, but calling them names doesn't help.

Face it, the only reason that elected officials are able to get away with acting like this is because their constituents condone (and even exhibit) the same behavior. They derive their power from the people. If we want for them to act responsible and civil, we must first start with ourselves.

Calling the TP "raging lunatics" won't help them see the error of their ways. It only serves to strengthen their resolve. However, bringing them to a table and explaining things to them quietly and rationally might just work.

(Patiently awaiting the response "but they're idiots and don't understand" which will only prove my point.)
