But allowing Republicans, as a majority in one house of one branch of government, to try and repeal the president's signature achievement over paying their own bills is absurd. I think that's why Dems are willing to have this fight. I don't know if the tea party Reps have a goal; I think they believe that they're making a statement, but it's only being listened to by the people that already agree with them, and making the rest of the country very angry. They've overplayed their hands on this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932547748512752260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714940922914584417.post-50507953404702961262013-10-13T20:58:14.998-07:002013-10-13T20:58:14.998-07:00Thank you for explaining the real reason for the g...Thank you for explaining the real reason for the government shutdown.
