Unfortunately, there are more people that wish to see the destruction of the US than not, so government will reopen with the capitulation of the GOP, Obamacare will get funded, spending will increase, and our collapse will be made even more certain.

I know I know, Obamacare resistance from the GOP. But that can't be the only reason can it? I mean, I can't quite understand how or why shutting down the gov helps the GOP in their cause. Is it extortion? Blackmail? Is that what this is? Because on the surface that's what this looks like. Blackmail.
Fill me in?

I hope you don't expect to be taken seriously with a maddow video. Why don't you link a morgan video while you're at it.

It's shutdown because the Senate and Obuma won't pass the funding bills that were passed by the house.
You seem to forget that Obamacare was already the law when the shutdown happened. This shutdown is a method of the tea party to force bills they want through the government.
No I didn't forget. Congress is doing exactly what the people voted them in to do, stop Obamacare.
Sorry you don't like it, but they are doing what they were elected to do for the first time in history.

No they were not voted in to stop Obamacare. Public opinion polls showed more people wanted Obamacare than didn't. The only reason why this is being held back is because the people who paid off these TP members are getting their monies worth. Like how Boehner refuses to call a vote because he knows the TP won't get what wants.
