So now the House will just threaten to derail the economy every time they don't get their way. It is not how we do it. We are becoming Italy or South Korea. Either we have a Republic or we do not. If winning elections does not matter then why bother.
If Obama had said he was going to order the sinking of an aircraft carrier if universal background checks were not passed we would say he, though commander-in-chief was using his powers in the wrong manner. Actually we would say anyone who cost our country a billion dollars and weakened us was crazy. Well that is what has happened because House members have used their power poorly. This is stupid and it is weakening the Republican party.

Ted Cruz asked for a shutdown. Michelle Bachmann said she was thrilled by the shutdown. Republicans said they would shutdown the government if they didn't get the defunding of Obamacare. 80 House Republicans penned a letter saying this is what would happen if they didn't get what they wanted. If the answer isn't obvious then I don't know what is.
