Copyrighted Image? DMCA | In the view of many House Republicans, it is their right to shut down the government. They aren't out to protect the American people. The extremists are so paranoid that they believe in no federal government. The American people won't be screwed by a funding bill that keeps most or all of the federal government funded through September 2015. Speaker Boehner is no hero. He is a historically weak leader who struggles to pass his own legislation. Boehner isn't standing up to the radicals in his own party. He is trying to do an end run around them. The same Republicans who have spent years screwing over the American people are now complaining that they might not get a chance to ruin the holidays for millions of their constituents. |
