Then again, it could just be the business cycle that would ebb and flow even if we had elected a hamster for president.

That's actually true. It was really becuase of the donks' unwillingness to compromise and govern.

No shit, Jizzbreath. I didn't say it did.
I was playing off your idiotic "petulant, obstructionist" statement. The funny part is, the Conks were right all along, and you know it. :lol: :dunce: :dunce:

You know, I can see why you would think so...because you're a fucking moron. :dunce:

Again, the shutdown was because of Obamacare. You know with all your heart but will never have the testicular fortitude to admit that the Conks were 100% right.

Baldy, it was symbolism. There is no way a divided Congress and a Democratic President would ever repeal Obamacare. It was all grandstanding. Less than half of one house was voting for the 44 or so time to repeal Obamas law. What reasonable person would believe that democrats would vote for it and that Obama would sign it? It was 100% obstructionism so that dorks like Cruz can say they kept their campaign promise and wreck havoc on our country. You have to pick your battles.

And if they had that vote today it might end up differently. There's a LOT of Donks distancing themselves from the trainwreck that is Obamacare.

No shit, Mark. I know exactly what it was.
Obamacare is a turd in the punchbowl. I know it, you know it, and the Donks even know it. That is why they are running away from it as fast as they can. Nobody ever thought it was going to get repealed or even delayed. All the grandstanding was a big fat "I told you so" to all the idiots who voted for and supported it. The fact that it crashed right out of the box only made it better. :lol:

True, some are distancing themselves from it. (Especially now since it's referred to as the ACA and not Obamacare.), but Democrats are not going to vote, en masse, to repeal the ACA. Obama will never sign a law repealing the ACA. There is no way that would ever happen. Pick your battles.

So why waste taxpayer time and money on stupid, fucking symbolism? Petty, polarized politics has ruined Washington and will ruin this country.

I don't know the statistics (if I cared I would look it up), but I would guess that the shutdown, if anything, probably saved money.
Politicians who turned politicking into a career, and people realizing that voting for the guy who will give them the most free shit is what has ruined Washington and the country. That happened long before today's current crop of anal warts and entered office. :nod:
