Hey man. I thought it was the GOP that was split apart and doomed for the next 100 years over this shutdown. Last I saw, that fat loser Pete King rounded up 6 or 7 GOPe'ers to break with the party. That is way less than 57.
ZitatSince the government shutdown on Tuesday, House Republicans have pushed legislation to reopen selected parts of the federal government. They have proposed legislation to reopen National Parks, the Veterans Administration and fully fund the National Guard, among other measures. To date, 57 House Democrats, almost a third of the caucus, have broken ranks with Leader Pelosi and President Obama to support the GOP refunding efforts.
"Despite these bipartisan votes," Mike Long, spokesman for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, said in a statement to Breitbart News, "Leader Reid and Co-Leader Schumer continue to object to up or down votes on any of these bills including funding for veterans, active service military personnel and pediatric cancer patients."
As Breitbart News has pointed out, the federal government is ordinarily funded by specific appropriations bills covering one or two agencies at a time. There is nothing unusual about the House, or Senate, moving bills to fund individual agencies. Apparently, 57 House Democrats agree with this approach.
As the shutdown stretches on, it will become increasingly clear to the American public that the Democrats won't negotiate or compromise. Their extremist position goes so far as to block how Congress has normally funded government. One-third of the House Democrat caucus is in open revolt of this strategy, however. Democrat defections will likely increase as the shutdown lingers.

Keep it up GOP!
They weren't able to get their way so their clown response is contempt!
The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.
But the libs keep blaming republicans. I was reading the comments on several articles at Breitbart. Of course, most posters are conservatives, but then in come the trolls. They are actually comical...but no matter what is said, what is pointed out..its the republicans fault. Well, at least they arent blaming bush this time.
I just dont get how these libs dont see whats right in front of their eyes. I didnt see it, either, when they kept voting for Obama...however, I sincerely believe that this last election was fixed. From what I saw and read prior to the election, where ever Romney was...had a huge crowd..Obama couldnt fill a room. So..how did he win? How did he get 100% of the votes in some places? I dont think we had an honest election.
