Who cares? What are they going to do too "punish" the Republicans, vote for the democrat candidate twice in the next election?
(maybe I shouldn't give them any ideas)
Get ready for the onslaught of the “sob” stories. I remember during the 1995 government shutdown the media had reporters stationed at the entrance to every national park to interview the one guy who drove his kids all the way across the nation on their first vacation in ten years just to find the park shutdown, because of the EVIL Republicans. When the real question that should have been why when it had been reported for weeks that all national parks would closed in case of a shutdown would he still risk making the trip?
