My search for a grain a truth in his bold statement came up empty.

Look like the GOP gets a free ride on this one too.

For negotiating on tax breaks and cuts in spending. These guys are creeps.

I can understand a battle based on hate, the Tea Party hates Obama, not much room for compromise, but this is a battle over money now. They can't sort this out without a shutdown? I don't get it.

All the Republicans are to blame now. Boehner is not a hostage anymore, he can't use the Tea Party for cover anymore. No honor in that guy. The psychos in the Tea Party I give them credit for honoring their convictions even at the expense of their pockets and well being.
