49 Republicans Who Say Shutting Down The Government Over Obamacare Is A Big Mistake

The government may very well shut down on Tuesday, thanks to a set of Republicans who refuse to pass any legislation to continue funding it unless the law also defunds or delays Obamacare. But while that handful of people think it’s smart strategy to close national parks, discontinue nutrition programs, and put on hold a host of other government programs, many others in the party are waking up to the truth: If a shutdown occurs, Republicans — and their demand to repeal Obamacare — will be blamed.

A poll released Monday backed up this idea, finding that 46 percent of people would blame Congressional Republicans for a shutdown.

Because they know that a shutdown would be bad for the economy and that their party will be blamed, even staunch detractors of Obamacare are coming out against their Republican colleagues and demanding they ditch their shutdown strategy.

2. They are so scared of the money that will be thrown against them.

They forget about the people who elected them. They are just little puppets, fearful and helpless. They lost their spines. Remember how they joked about the Democratic party being weak and lacking spines?Seems to me there are a lot of spineless rethugs in congress now!
