Don’t know about you, but I was very happy the Newt and the Reps shut down the government. Some leftards think it was a bad thing. No way. America still went on minus the beltway. It was a great moment in our history. I hope it happens again soon.
The problem was that the MSM totally misrepresented what had happened. Clinton was the one who really shut down the government with his veto of the budget bill, but the media spun it so that everyone blamed those “evil” Republicans. Unfortunately, the whole episode turned out to be a positive for WJC and a negative for the Pubbies.
