Republicans flunk government shutdown history

[phkrause]

In the same way that many of them still — after all these years and against all available evidence — would rather chalk up Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory to the presence of Ross Perot than to their own deficiencies, there are Republicans who still refuse to accept the reality of what happened when they forced a shutdown of the federal government in 1995.

Let's get this straight. The one's who are saying they will shut down the government are not the Republicans. It's the Democrats, from Obama on down who are threatening a shutdown if Obamacare is not funded. The bill coming out the House funds everything but Obamacare, and Obama is the one throwing the snit and threatening the government shutdown. He's already illegally suspended parts of his own bill because it clearly will not work, but yet wants to shutdown the government because his political opponents say, OK, let's get rid of this stupid bill all the way by just not funding it.
