[Jabba the Nutt]

The GOP has lead with their fear. "Oh, my God, we're going to be blamed for the government shutddown. We will do anything to avoid that."

The GOP has just turned itself into a hostage of the Democrat Party. All the Democrats have to do is threaten a shutdown and they get everything they want.

This is as stupid as it gets. This guarantees defeat. And they ask me for my vote, otherwise the Democrats will win. In reality, the Democrats win whether or not I vote. Voting GOP guarantees Democrat victory.

The GOP ought to realize the question in millions of minds, is "what's the point of voting GOP?" It serves no purpose. The GOP serves no purpose. The GOP is dead, worthless, a carcass.

+1, Jabba. Any thinking politico knows that mid-term elections are all about getting the base out. Low information/low interest voters don’t waste their time going to the polls...they vote in Presidential elections.
