Polls do NOT show anywhere near the blame for Rep the author states.

Huffpo is hardly a Conservative site and can be seen the spread is barley 10 points by those blaming Rep. And just a few months later the Dems got annihilated in the midterms.
Shut the government down. It has happened many times before. Mainly, about 25% of the government is “shut down”. Who cares? I say make it 50%. If only they also wouldn’t back-pay to the government “workers”...essentially giving them a paid vacation. Shut downs bare a political joke. Shutting down parts of the government leviathan forever would be a good thing. mona is wimpy and wrong here. The GOPe must be shown to be the quisling weaklings they are.
