the way the whole jim-bunning-is-shutting-down-the-federal-government thing is being played is going to bite you in the ass. the idea is that the dems can't believe their windfall: biden, reid etc all taking this big opportunity. supposedly the same thing killed the gop when they shut down the gov under gingrich etc. i don't think that these folks actually understand.

remember obama pledging pay-as-you-go, deficit reduction, fiscal responsibility etc.? the only exceptions to these principles that the administration is allowing is every piece of legislation they propose. but all bunning is doing is trying to enforce obama's supposed convictions. and if you don't think there's an anti-state-gigantism mood and a concern about trillions in deficits and debts, you haven't been watching. of course, anyone who actually was concerned about debt devouring our economy would be engaged in wacky conspiracy theories; racism; they'd be mere animals lashing out. and yet what they're saying would be true.

i feel that the people who are killing themselves here are the dems, and if it continues on like this, they'll lose both houses of congress.
