If the Reps shut down the Govt till 2012. The Dems would have a Super majority in both houses when the dust settled.
Meanwhile while the Govt is “ShutDown” who pays the troops we have in harms way.
We have to take all we can get now and work on our own Super majority then we can force the Prez’s hands no matter their party. Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water because we did not get enough today.
That’s your version of events that haven’t happened.
The Republicans have the high ground on this the whole way, but they still pu$$ed out.
