The Boehner Shutdown

[candycorn]

As was pointed out yesterday; the House is the one saying "Do this or else"...the Senate is not.

If the Senate sent a CR to the House saying the American people want universal background checks for gun purchases (and they do...http://www.usnews.com/news/articles...y-of-americans-nra-members-back-gun-control); pass it or we're going to shut down the government...would the right wing feel as happy about carrying out the will of the American people?

The blame is falling on squarely where it belongs; on the shoulders of the GOP leaders.

You have the right to bear arms.. you do not have the right to be on government mandated, government forced, government marketplace having medical care or insurance.. your right to bear arms is not something budgeted in a mandatory gun distributing government program

My opinion is that the republicans were bombarded by pissed off Americans and know that if they fund Obamacare, the country is toast.

Why are so many people trying to take away the Republican glory of shutdown? The Republicans have found a new way of trying to get their way in government and now so many are trying to say shutdown was a Democratic idea.
