The Democrats want a shutdown to take the focus off Obamacare. Watch for them to try something to force a shutdown and then they and their media friends blame the Republicans.

I agree. I think this is to keep the focus on the failures of the President and Dems. a shutdown will get blamed on GOP house. Not saying it’s a great strategy, but, I do understand if it is the strategy.

Yep. A basic rule that the GOP often ignores is this one: Do not do what your enemy wants you to do.

Obama would just love another shutdown now. Therefore, do not shut down the government now. There will be better opportunities later.

A lot of people here on this thread seem to want the same thing as the Democrats.

But why would you want a shutdown when we are winning by focusing on Obamacare?

True. The rats are in a foaming tizzy accusing the GOP of rooting for Obamacare repeal while they root for another shutdown to blame on republicans.

Too bad, so sad, won't work.

Exactly - they did their calculations and decided that another shutdown would not be a political gain. Strategy is necessary, not just tactics.
