Its just such a childish waste of time and money

[ThomWV]

Just what in hell do the Tea-baggers thing they are going to accomplish by shutting down the Government? Do they they think the giant will then be dead, that everyone can go home smiling and there will never be no Government again? Just what do those fucking idiots think happens next? I'll tell you what comes next, a few days or a few weeks of turmoil, much suffering from people depending on the next paycheck to make it through April, and then the Government will come back on line, and this same bullshit will start all over again. Not one single thing will be solved by it, the cost of restarting will be more than continued operation would have cost, and more time will have been wasted as the country wallows in a sea of confusion, mistrust, and pure out and out lunacy. For christ's stakes, isn't there a single leader among them that can stand up and call and end to this assault on unity that makes us a nation?

1. Here's your mistake: asking what teabaggers "think."

;-)

2. The Tea baggers will be the fist to complain about the lack of Govt Services. "Hey, why's the park

closed? Why's my ss check late?" Poor stupid bastards.

3. I'm pretty sure they still think it is a good thing that they are doing

And will likely use it in their campaigns.

No government is what they think they want, but they don't know what it really means. They're about to find out.

4. Yes...

And then they're going to just say it's not them shuting down the government--it's the Democrats who won't agree!:argh:

5. The government is who collects taxes.

If they shut down the government, they'll never have to pay taxes again!!!!!!!111

To answer your question: They don't think. They just get a bug up their ass and start foaming at the mouth at whatever talking point their talk radio/Fox News imbecile of choice gave them last.
