He also said a government shutdown would be blamed on the Rep because “people who are turned away from Yellowstone park for 2 days would not understand the the reasoning behind allowing the government to shutdown so a lasting and more responsible budget could be crafted” (paraphrase).
Ok so 10,000 people are turned away and let’s say ALL of them are rabid moon bats who go postal because the EVIL Rep won’t let them in the park. First of all these people wouldn’t vote Rep if their life depended on it and if half of them were rep and they didn’t vote for them because of this (unlikely), then we have lost 5000 votes in a national election, big whoop.
Charlie oughta put down the bong.
Not even the Dem leadership believed that would work, so they dropped the porky spending bill.
