House of Representatives now have enough votes to end shutdown

[QUOTE="The-Apostle"]Republicans need to just let ObamaCare fail and then point and laugh while saying "I told you so." The Republicans would dominate for years after that. >_>HoolaHoopMan

Keep in mind, the shutdown was the whole point.

there is videos of republicans in 2010 promising their tea party constituency, that they would shutdown government.

obstructionist politics at its best. whether they accomplish anything or not by the shutdown is irrelevant. they just want to incite distain towards the current administration. 

if you got 10 mins, rachel maddow did a good piece on it

The government shutdown is showing the American people how non-essential most of the government is.

Government is way too big and expensive. This whole thing is good even if it ends soon.

All of those Representatives (with the exception of Arkansas) are from blue or purple states....they have to vote with the democrats or lose their job.

I wish more people saw it that way whenever the government shutdown. The federal government has expanded its constitutional mandate to the point of idiocy. Nobody can truly believe that, constitutionally speaking, the federal government was supposed to be the goliath its grown into.

Maybe if the federal government could keep the parks open if they didnt spend our money so frivolously across the globe.

The democrats shut down the government SIX TIMES, while Reagan was President.

When the Democrats shut down the government, it was barely mentioned in
the nightly news.

What can we honestly cut from the budget? Seems like on most things we've cut strait to the bone and now there's nothing left to cut.
