Spare us the emoting.

Your entire approach to debate consists of wildly extrapolating things liberals and Democrats say while figuring out why the blatant statements and actions of Republicans and conservatives are pefectly reasonable. To this you add your usual histrionics in an attempt to distract attention away from the utter emptiness of your arguments.

The Republicans talk for weeks about shutting the government down if they don't get their way on Obamacare. They do it, and many of them are positively cheering about it, and yet you blandly pretend that it's all the fault of the Democrats for not caving in to the Republicans. And you further blame the Democrats for being unwilling to cave in to a tactic that effectively derails our system of government, offering a party that has shown itself to be both irresponsible and inhumane a method of getting its way when it comes to cuts in programs they have hated from day one.

I realize that you and Sandwichwarrior want to pretend the shutdown is an elaborate Democratic plot to make Republicans look bad, but no rational person believes this.
