It is not appropriate to blame the Republicans for any of this...In the meantime, the fault lies entirely with Obama and the democRats.
I think not!
Explain to me exactly how all those gianormous CRs made it through the GOP House. Did they have 234 guns held to their heads?
Use as much paper as you need.
Indeed, they did have "guns" pointed at their heads. Their choice was simple: pass the resolution, or shut down government forever. Had they shut down the government, the "guns" were every single media outlet in the US blaming them for starving children, shutting down the military, eliminating Social Security payments, and all other evil that could occur. It happened during the Clinton reign, and they haven't forgotten it. There is no way that anything but a continuing resolution would pass, and no way that failure of anything to pass would be total blame on them and them only.
The unfortunate reality is that Obama is President, Reid controlls the Senate, and the mainstream media is on their side. Wishful thinking will not change that.
