Gov. Shutdown?

[Tedium]

Not that I am taking sides here (I don't really get into much politics anymore since my doctor said its actually bad for my blood pressure), but no matter how much we dislike what the "GOP" or even what the "Dems" did recently they didn't break any rules doing it... They actually used the democratic process to aid in their agendas... If you step back and look at the whole picture, the GOP "legitimately" turned down a budget bill, wrote their own and the DEMS "legitimately" turned down that bill and decided to rewrite another. And as we all know this happened several times... The reasons for why this happened are superfluous...

I don't think they are superfluous at all. I think the reasons why these things happened are incredibly important. If we were talking about weather phenomena or the universality of human mortality, I would say that the reasons don't matter, because there is nothing we can do about either of those things. But we are talking about living, breathing, flawed people who were hired to do a job, which neither side is doing well. No one is saying either side broke any rules; they just suck at not being immature children. Whether or not the process they used was legitimate, the American people (and the world even) need to examine what happened here, so that we don't send similar people to office that will exhibit the same levels of stupidity. Why is the key to the whole thing.

But that's just my opinion. Don't let it affect your blood pressure.
