However you feel about Obamacare, the GOP is torturing itself for nothing with this shutdown "threat."
There is zero chance of defunding Obamacare, and if the House manages to trigger a shutdown, people will blame the GOP in the next election cycle. It happened in 1995, and the economic effects would be worse this time, since we are talking about a much larger shutdown.
I know something ain't right when I agree with Turd Blossom. <Link>
I understand the GOP right-wing thinks this is what their base wants, but when it doesn't work, you'll lose the base and the independents. Better to do nothing than demonstrate your incompetence.
