ch: I get it Paft, you think its okay to make sure the shutdown hurts the American people in order to make Republicans look bad...
No, you don't get it. This is not about making the Republicans look bad (they've done that to themselves.) This is about not allowing the introduction of a precedent that would enable a political party to paralyze the government every time legislation is passed that they dislike.
You can reframe as furiously as you like, but I think most people in this country know where to put the blame, and it's not on the Obama administration or the Democrats, as much as you would like it to be.
