Desperate Democrats STILL blaming Republicans for govt shutdown ...
The person offering the above comment was probably outof the USA these past several weeks, because probably anyone who is old-enoughto read and write understands who attempted to so badly damage our nation, andwho, for 16+ days dealt a financial blow to millions of Americans and untoldnumbers of small businesses. It was the American Taliban, our domesticterrorists. God Bless the President of the United States of America for notgiving-in to extortion.
The big-spending Democrats are still trying to avoid blame for the recent government shutdown - a shutdown that would have been avoided if they had simply done their duty as required by the Constitution, and passed a budget to negotiate and reconcile with the Republicans, as has been done by virtually every Congress since George Washington's time.
But for the past four years, we have seen the astonishing spectacle of a party with a majority in the Senate, unable to pass its own budget. Even when the President (of their own party) submitted one, the Democrats unanimously voted it down!
The Republican majority in the House, in the meantime, has passed budgets like clockwork and sent them to the Senate to begin the usual negotiation process... only to see the Democrats declare them "DOA" and refuse to even read them, much less negotiate on points they didn't like. They treated the Continuing Resolutions sent by the House, the same way. No negotiations, no reading, "My way or the highway". And to no one's surprise, the government ran out of money and shut down.
And after flatly refusing any cooperation, those same Democrats then announced it it was Republicans who were "holding a gun to our heads" as shutdown neared, "Holding the government hostage" as Democrats refused to even negotiate.
Most hilariously, after four years of refusing to pass budgets or even negotiate, these Democrats announced it was the Republicans who were "refusing to negotiate during the regular order of Congressional business".
Democrats never negotiated even when "regular order" was happening. They never even passed a budget for four years, while Republicans in the House passed budgets regularly, every time, on schedule, and sent them to the Senate for normal negotiations and reconciliation... conforming to the "normal order" of Congressional business. And now the Democrats are trying to blame Republicans for the lack of negotiations for those four years???
What these people lack in memory and integrity, they more than make up for in sheer balls.
When George Orwell described the "doublethink" that an intransigent government engaged in, his only mistake was that he didn't extend it to the triplethink and quadruplethink our Democrats of today, are engaging in to avoid acknowledging the true cause of the recent shutdown.
Has there even been another time in the history if the United States, where one legislative body failed to pass a budget, and failed to negotiate a budget passed by the other body, for FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS, in defiance of the Constitution?

Do you recognize the fact that poll after poll unequivocally says that the majority of Americans recognize that you're full of **** on these claims? If people overwhelmingly blame the GOP for this, there is no need for Democrats to be "desperate" in focusing the blame; the blame is evident to people, and it rests on the tea party.

Has there ever been another time in history when a little, tiny minority of whiny little children has shut down the government, brought this country to the brink of default not once, but twice, and caused the U.S. credit rating to be downgraded at least once, and possibly again, all because stamping their little feet and threatening to holding their breath until they turn blue didn't get them what they want?
