When the government gets shut down as the result of a Democrat action, or in action, the Republicans are not without options and if they resort to clever stagecraft they can seize the initiative. They can pass a new continuing resolution every day and every day call a press conference telling the public they just funded the government again, of course, without Obamacare. Let the public understand through these public demonstrations that it is the Republicans who are funding government and Democrats who are shutting it down.
Every day they can walk a new continuing resolution over to the Senate and present it to them. If they cannot get television coverage ( remember when the Democrats walked across to pass Obamacare?) Surely the Republicans can think of something to get themselves face time.
My recommendation, you ask? Speaker of the house Boehner should strip down to a breech cloth and walk the continuing resolution to the Senate. That will both gain him television exposure and reveal his tan lines.
