All 200 Democrats and 19 Republicans support passing a continuing resolution with no additional legislative strings attached that would reopen the federal government, which has been partially closed for a week over a bitter policy dispute between Republicans and Democrats on health care. With three vacancies in 435 member House, 217 votes are currently the minimum needed for the measure to win approval in the House.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/10/08/votes-are-there-to-break-shutdown-but-not-the-will/?hpt=hp_t1

So, all this is really doing is alienating people from the Republican Party.

When they unleashed the Tea Party into the world, and gave it a platform, they didn't realize that the swell of stupid was so strong that it would come back and bite them in the end.

What a shame.

As far right as the republicans have gone, the democrats have allowed the wacky left to become mainstream. Don't delude yourself into thinking this is one-sided. The right is trying to catch up.

Obama is very moderate. Reid and Pelosi may belong with the wacky left, but there aren't nearly enough democrats like that to call them mainstream. Of the 232 republicans in the house, only about 17 think it is a good idea to reopen the government. That's just insane.

Obama is the first radical leftist to also be a radical neo con at the same time. Poli Sci classes will talk about this for centuries.

Redistribution of wealth?  He's only able to do what he can get away with, just like all elected officials.

How many presidents have set the income tax at a lower rate than it is right now?

Dig into some of his quotes from the not to distant past. He is a radical, but their are limits as president.

The democrats controlled both the house and the senate when Obama took office. If Obama is as radical as you claim, and the wacky left is as mainstream as you claim, then he should have been able to push through just about anything when he took office.

it's not accurate though.  more than that think it's a good idea, but aren't willing to fall out of step with party leadership, which is still supporting the shutdown for now.  and more than that think it's a good idea, but aren't willing to risk giving ammo to a primary challenge from the tea party.

Well, being too much of a coward to speak or vote your mind basically makes you as useful as the crazy people you are afraid of pissing off.
