You are not using your brain God gave you. Money talks BS walks. When the gov shutdown for 12 days, furlough fed workers do not spend money because they were not paid. Also gov agencies order local services and goods thru gov credit cards. Meetings cancelled, travel cancelled local hotels and travel agencies take hit. Gov shutdown is over, fed workers are getting their back pay, but the vendors have not been paid yet and during shutdown the vendors also suffered losses in business. Most of these vendors remember the losses and hold the GOP responsible. It has an effect on the N VA voters and the shutdown will cost the GOP the gov race. Shutdown came at the wrong time. Unfortunately the VA race could not be held six months later after shutdown, Obamacare could change the race dynamics.
VA is going purple since N VA turned into a suburb of fed workers. They will not vote for the GOP who would unemploy them.
You are most welcome to provide a credible scenario, or even a case, in which the republicans, since Reagan, have not been blamed.
And then show us how this situation is not worsening.
Anyone who thinks the republicans are not going to get blamed for everything is not paying attention.
The republicans, and many conservative pundits, point to how wrong it is to not be moderate, that not sitting down and shutting up brings attention and blame.
There is no way the republicans are not going to be blamed for this.
George Bush, prominent member of THE most connected family in American politics is just now, into the second term of BO’s presidency, not being blamed for everything.
Dream on
