A lot of people on this board seem to be confused as to why most of the public blames the republicans for the government shut down.
Here's why.
The House of Representatives would pass a Continueing Resolution without defunding Obamacare, if Boehner brought it to the floor for a vote. There are plenty of "moderate republicans" who would join democrats to get it passed.
Boehner is afraid of a small minority of Tea Baggers, maybe as few as 30 members, who would kick him out as speaker, if he brought a clean CR to vote. Boehner doesn't want to lose his speakership. The orange crying man is a chinless wimp.
The government is being shut down because of a small minority of extremists--all of whom are republicans.
