I understand how you feel, but take into consideration that winning one battle can cost the war. Do we really want to go through fighting, closing down the gov and then try to get Republicans elected next year? Anyone can see how it would go. The liberal media is going to back the socialists party rather than the conservatives and make the GOP out to be big bad bullies. Do we really want to give the enemy (yes enemy to the American way) more ammo to use in their campaign?

My advice to my fellow Republicans is to bite your tongue and let this one go. WE have a long journey full of obstacles before we can put someone in the White House that will attempt to turn this ship around before it hits that iceberg.

We can fix this gov only IF we get our man/woman into the White House. Would we rather block the dept ceiling, and end up with 8 more years of socialist dictatorship?
