(Mr. niteowl77),
The Democrats don’t seem to think there’s anything at stake in this shutdown except -- "winning."
A Senior Obama Administration Official was quoted in the Wall Street Journal saying, "We are winning...It doesn't really matter to us how long the shutdown lasts 'because what matters is the end result.'"
House Speaker John Boehner had it exactly right when he responded that "this isn't some damned game." House Republicans have passed dozens of bills to fund people and places affected by the shutdown right now: national parks, children with cancer, almost a million government employees. And every time, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer block bipartisan votes on this common-sense legislation.
Now we know why – they believe it will benefit them politically.
It's shameful and the American people deserve better. Send a strong message to President Obama, Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats by signing the petition telling them that it is unacceptable to play political games with America's future.
Together we can defeat these partisan games. Please sign now: (url)

Together? TOGETHER? TOGETHER?!! Shove it.
Mr. niteowl77
Well, I’d have to know who sent that gem over the transom before I tell them to shove it. If it’s RNC, then they do indeed need to go pound sand. They’re blowing smoke up our butts again.
(As an aside, I refuse to “sign” any online “petition.” Ever.)
