Start spinning it now. It's unthinkable Republicans will Ever shut down the Government Again

Impossible. Insane. Could never happen. Will never happen.

Worse than flying monster heads. Like eating puppies. Beyond human imagination.

Inoculate early and often. Never again. Unthinkable. Would be so insane words cannot describe it.

Because they ARE going to do this again in less than three months, and when they do every independent ordinary-type American's immediate reaction needs to be pitchfork-grabbing shock and horror and sputtering anger. "Are you fucking kidding me???"

And if that reaction is baked into the electorate then the Republicans have nothing.

Agreed - they'll try to rule "crisis" by "crisis" of their own making, dragging us all with them. Hestia Oct 2013 #1
Yes they are. This is certainly not over. Avalux Oct 2013 #2
Should they attempt to do so in three months, it will become even more politically costly Uncle Joe Oct 2013 #3

They'll huddle in their private meetings to conjure up their next move. The only thing they failed at was complete destruction of the federal government. They'll keep trying.

to that party.

It will be closer to the 2014 elections and the American People already have a bad taste in their mouths from these stupid games.

I don't believe the Republicans will try it again so quickly, they bled too much from this debacle

Thanks for the thread, cthulu.

The only question is how many times they will try to repeal "Obamacare" before they shut down the government.
