Meet The 37 House Republicans Who Could Lose Their Jobs For Shutting Down The Government
While its true they're being blamed for what they did, there are some people who just don't get that the Rs want only one thing - ruin the United States.
Plus, the gerrymandering and voter suppression that got them the House seats last time are still in place this time.
I think we will see a lot more illegal voter suppression because they know that lying, cheating and stealing is the only way they will keep their place at the trough. And, there's no way they would ever want to actually work for a living again.
Edited to add - do look at the list though. Its interesting.
The 16-day federal government shutdown that furloughed 800,000 workers and cost the U.S. economy $24 billion dollars has largely been pinned on House Republicans, making many of them vulnerable in the 2014 midterm elections.
Numerous polls have shown that a majority of Americans assign a larger share of blame for the shutdown to congressional Republicans, who tried to tie government funding provisions to defunding the Affordable Care Act. Even prominent Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) have criticized their colleagues in the House for damaging the GOP's image.
Fifty-four percent of Americans now oppose Republican control of the House, according to a CNN-ORC poll released on Monday. And a series of polls commissioned by progressive advocacy group Moveon.org and conducted by Public Policy Polling released in batches over the last several days indicate Democrats may have enough momentum to take back the House.
