You’re trying to make the argument that since the republican won on a platform of stopping Obama, they are justified in taking any and all actions.

Many campaigned on stopping Obama with the power of the purse, which is the only way Congress really has to stop a president. But Republican 'leaders' pre-emptively surrendered by declaring that off the table when they hid under their desks and said they would not shut the government down.

And you are buying into the leftist and MSM meme that if the government is shut down, it is obviously the fault of the Republicans. You need to pull yourself out of that silliness, along with many others including Boner and McConnell. The case has to be made, day-after-day as long as an issue under consideration.

“Many campaigned on stopping Obama with the power of the purse, which is the only way Congress really has to stop a president.”

There is only reason to state the case that way and that is to disguise exactly what they meant. How many explicitly stated that they would shut down the government to stop Obama?

“And you are buying into the leftist and MSM meme that if the government is shut down, it is obviously the fault of the Republicans. You need to pull yourself out of that silliness, along with many others including Boner and McConnell. The case has to be made, day-after-day as long as an issue under consideration.”

And, you’re buying into wishful thinking. Saying: “The case has to be made,...” is not sufficient. How are you going to get the average American’s attention to make the case? What forum are you going to use to make the case? Do you really think the MSM will give you that time? If they do let a conservative on the news they’l make him sound like a nutcase.
