Shutting the government down on purpose and staying up all night.

11. We should send Johnson back to Minnesota where he came from.

Or better yet, lets put him on a very slow boat to North Korea.

9. I blame talk radio.

Talk radio was the start of justifying whatever the Republicans did. The mean talk and lies about the "Others" rile the base and gives power to those who needed to blame someone. I have seen this rising slow but sure to the level it is now for 30 years. I remember when Limbaugh directed his followers to only trust Fox news when Fox first came on the air. There is definitely a form of brainwashing with the media and it is getting worse. We, as a nation have to find a way to break through the set belief that Democrats are evil and the ones causing trouble.

10. "Democracy is the worst form of Government, except for

all those other forms that have been tried from time to time"

Winston Churchill

12. Newt Gingrich played a big role

Newt is Machiavellian. He says any words which get results he wants.
