The House will try to keep the federal government shutdown for the rest of Obama's term if they can

They despise the federal government and they have made that known. The Republican party is a bunch of roving neo-confederate anarchists and they want to burn down the entire federal government.

Except for the military, they really don't want to fund any part of the government. Centers for Disease Control? They don't care about that agency. EPA? Pfffft. NASA? Food inspectors? Fuck 'em all is what the Republicans think.

They'll keep this dog and pony show going the next 3 years if they can. As long as the federal government is shutdown, they think they will have finally "taken care of" Obama and they don't care if millions of people suffer.

This is how much they hate that black guy in the white house.

They're willing to burn it all down.

this is the xth time that we've declared the death of the Republican party, but they keep bouncing back like the pests they are. Their base will never give up on them, no matter how far they destroy the country.
