   what idiot ever thought Beener was a good choice for speaker after he’d already shown what a loser he was before Speaker Pelosi.

   Maybe since he’s become the puppet of Ted Cruz and his merry band of TeaBirchers?

   Boehner and McConnell are trying to blame the shutdown on Democrats.
   -
   Does this mean that shutting down the government is a bad thing?

    Putting country over politics
    Don’t you wish that this kind of person existed here? Instead of people who are so sure they are right and all others are wrong (the Tea Party types) or that they may lose their position of power (such as it is) to someone else (Boehner vs. Cantor, for example). I have seen “liberals” (as designated by the Right) admit to not having all the answers or possibly being wrong about some point or another, but I’ve seen dam’ few Righties make such an admission. I think this is why you all think that the science people here are such dorks, etc. We know we may be wrong (because all of us at some point or another were wrong about something). But this is in fact the hallmark of a liberal, You know you want the best for the society, but you also know that your take on it may not be the best, so you want to hear what other options are out there. It would be so postive if you all could come to the point that words like “always”, “never”, "all"’ “none” are not useful terms.

    I don’t know which stinks worse Martens , this post of yours or the four a-holes above? Sometimes you can be reasonable, civil even polite , but above you are divisive and alienating. This coming at a time when we need civility and reason more than ever. Hate and vitriol comes in all shapes and sizes , no one has the market cornered on poor human behavior.

    After taking hostages and making demands that are not met, a few hostages are killed.
    Victims are blamed for not meeting demands.
    .
    The incurred debt ceiling is the dead hostage.
    That is really going to hurt, no way around it.
    We are forcing them to do this, the hostage takers do not wish to be evil, but they are left no choice.
    .
    See, it is not their fault, this strategy is thoroughly thought out.
    After the shutdown there is nowhere to turn.
