“Look at the results of the last election - shutdown worked well!”
That is a myth fostered by those whose only desire is to shut down the government. Do some research. See what the Republican approval ratings were after that shutdown. Now why should the republican’s first action once in power be a government shutdown.
Do so more research and name some Republicans that campaigned on shutting down the government. I’ll save you the trouble. None did. They all campaigned on ‘No Government Shutdown’. So why should their first action be to break their promise? They need to do what they said they would do and get the economy going again.
If the Republicans had any guts, they could easily blame shutdown on the lying rat Obama.
Instead of this years long bill the R’s could pass a short CR until the next congress comes in.
No shutdown unless the Dems obviously cause it.
I’m not really interested in a shutdown, I’m interested in conservatism. The Republicans are just using the anti-shutdown talk as a diversion so they won’t have to do ANYTHING conservative.
Right now they are just “Grubers”. Lying to us to get one more lesser-evil-vote out of us.
