I think you might be too partisan when you hope the entire government stops working just to spite someone. How about the representatives actually recognize the President and their colleagues in the House/Senate as just as rightfully elected by the American people as they are, then make compromises and actually do something?
With a huge recession, massive debt, and two wars still being fought, not to mention all the stuff the US gov't has to do, along with how pissy and partisan a government shutdown will make everyone, who wants to suffer that? I'd rather have my President and congress doing their jobs instead of playing politics, seriously its like the ****ing special Olympics everyone is too concerned with winning to realize how retarded they are.
This my way or the highway bull**** has to stop.
When you want to get out of a hole the first thing you have to do is stop digging.
In the future, you might want to begin your argument with a premise that is genuinely true.We all know Obama has lied his ass of about everything he has done or said

"We all know Obama lied about everything" is a lie. It's not even close to the truth.
Stop being a partisan wanna-be pundit and make intelligent criticisms of the President.
By the way, the smartest person in the Tea Party said Obama is not a socialist, so find a new insult for him
"In the technical sense--by the economic definition--President Obama is not a socialist," Ron Paul Link
Okay I stand corrected Obama did say he liked beer & basket ball.
Check a few short lists of Obama whoppers.

Obama LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES
AND THIS REALLY IS JUST A FEW.
It's not partisan to want something left for our Grandchildren, but Obama wants to kill the nation, it's one thing the Liberals hate. It's called being a PATRIOT.
Funny how that "patriotism" was non existent from the right under Bush who created the crap you are in now.. and those that did complain were called all sorts of names and non of them had anything to do with "patriotism".
We all know Obama has lied his ass of about everything he has done or said
and nothing has worked so why not stop all spending and Socialist/Marxist
plans dead cold in their tracks.
Obama has claimed the Republicans are the party of NO, I would like the Tea
Party to become the Party od Restore America or we are going to be,
"The Party of HELL NO."
In part the White House Blog says:http://http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/09/10/another-government-shutdown
Today the President once again discussed his proposals to boost America’s
economic recovery – from rebuilding America’s roads and bridges, to giving
businesses incentives to invest, to help for small business. If one sat back
and tried to think of the most bipartisan idea the President could possibly
propose to boost job creation, it would probably be providing tax breaks for
small businesses, and yet even this has been blocked by the partisan
Republican minority from even coming up for an up-or-down vote for months.
Speaking to hundreds of activists gathered at the Mayflower Hotel in
Washington for the Faith and Freedom Conference, Rep. Lynn
Westmoreland (R-Ga.) urged the audience to stand with House
Republicans when they go toe-to-toe with President Barack Obama.
Westmoreland said his caucus – presuming it takes control of the
House come November – aims to pass spending bills that Obama
is likely to veto. He predicted Republicans would not be able to
override such a veto, creating a standoff that could cause
Congress to grind to a halt.
“If the government shuts down, we want you with us,” he said.
The congressman recalled a similar shutdown that took place
in 1995, when Newt Gingrich – also a speaker at the conference –
was serving as House speaker.
Sure. Shut it down.
Shut down the government so we can't pay for our soldiers to fight in Afghanistan anymore.
Shut down the government so our veterans can't get the medical assistance they need after they've sacrificed themselves for the safety of our nation.
Shut down the government so no farm subsidies get paid out.
Shut down the government so the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships won't be giving out any more taxpayer money to religious organizations.
Shut down the government so the FCC will no longer have the budget to censor television and radio programs for obscenities.
Shut down the government so law enforcement agencies won't have the manpower to kick squatters out of foreclosed home seized illegally by banks.
Shut down the government so border patrol won't have the resources necessary to stop illegal immigrants from coming into our country.
Shut down the government so our courts will have such a small budget that forces them to have such a small amount of time to operate that they won't have time to deal with petty drug crimes.
Shut down the government so the defense contractors that get inflated no-bid contracts from politicians they give donations to won't get any more taxpayer money and take a hit in their stock value during an economic recession and have to fire their employees.
Shut down the government so intelligence agencies won't have the resources or manpower necessary to stop the next terrorist attack being planned.
You want to shut down the government? Go ahead. I dare you to try.
Liberals can keep saying that until the cows come home and it still won't be true. Most of this rescission in is on Obama now. He's the one who made the Bush deficit through the roof, and who is trying to kill the economy with really stupid ideas.
Liberals just don't get it.

So far everything this Congress and Obama have done has dug a deeper hole.
We have seen Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have run up a debt that is bigger than all previous debts, and it has to stop, and if he won't listen to reason because of his personal radical wishes to destroy this Nation with his Cloward & Pevin tactics and his Black Liberation Theology and Socialist/Marxist up bringing, this is nothing left to do but shut it down.
This has nothing what ever to do with being partisan I am Conservative and I know my history and Obama is doing everything in direct opposition to what is needed.
This is about saving Our Nation from total economic collapse, and the end to the further destruction of our Constitution and the Rule of Law, all of which is currently wrong.
Those who stand for nothing fall for anything

By the way I was against much of what Bush did and spent 7 years telling thousands of people that every day. Bush was not a Conservative, he was more of a progressive, and he had the wrong attitude on Illegal Aliens and allowing the Military run and win the wars without stupid restrictions like the ones Obama is still allowing Karzai ti dictate rules of engagement.
Patriotism is not about partisanship. It's about the Constitution as written by our founding Fathers the rule of law following the oath of office which I do and not allowing a usurper like Obama erode any of it.
Since Obama has gotten into Office the Economy has slowly been improving. The spiraling Job Loss that we had at the end of the Bush Presidency has stabalized, and we are now gaining jobs. Most of that Deficit you speak of is Tarp and the Bush Tax Cuts, both of which predated Obama. Obama is so far doing a good job as president, especially considering the trash economy, spiraling deficit, and two wars he inherited from Bush.

Remember Hillary's speech that said we have the right to critisize the president? Now Obama makes threats if you criticisize
What
"Threats"
Does he make Ptif?

So, you think that insurance companies are criticizing the president by citing the legislation is a reason for rate hikes?
Ultimately, given that analysis has been done, I imagine that these rate hikes are similar to gas stations raising prices after a disaster for the purposes of profiteering.
No the Administration is threatening them and taking away their free speech rights. More of do not criticize Obama or you will be punished.
