Mad_Larkin said: What was the logic (if any) behind this shutdown thing anyway?
The tea-party idiots strapped a bomb to their chest and said "We'll blow up the country if we don't get our way" Thankfully the GOP leadership is stupid enough to follow them, but not so insane that they went through with it. Basically they threw a temper tantrum/ bluff, and all we got out of it was a dip in the stock market, a bunch of lost revenue in tourist towns near federal parks, and federal employees out of work. The GOP now has single digit poll ratings. All they're doing is fucking us, and themselves.
What a crock of shit. Your understanding of Tea Party politics gets a single digit rating.
Actually thats pretty accurate.
The loudest voices in this thing were all tea party republicans, boehner was only involved because he's speaker.
and we all knew this was a bluff from the start, they had nothing to bargain with. And, because (as they expected) the Republicans were found to be my pollsters to be blamed for a possible default, they caved.
And yes, the GOP only hurt themselves in this. Obama's poll numbers are on him, these pointless stunts by the Republicans only make Democrats look like the better option come next year in the House.

I suspect that in the long run this will all make no difference.
Those that fought were elected by their constituents to do just what they did. Those same people will likely vote for the same candidate.
There will be no, or very minor, consequences.

The true spirit of this Republican Party on display:
A tea party conservative congressman lectures and berates a park service employee for the closure of the veterans memorial.
Typical. Blame someone else for what you are personally responsible for and hating everything the government does except for the things you like, then complaining that the government has let you down. The common theme? Many of these tea party type are completely lacking empathy of any sort. They don't care about anything that doesn't personally affect them.

lol, "we all have to buckle down and change for the future prosperity for our children and their future.......... except me and my friends. no they can still un-buckle and run amok, because trust me... we ain't so bad. i mean, i know these people, they're my friends. i can trust them.
can't trust you regular American working people though, no, you're all no good jive turkeys! you gotta change your ways and recover prosperity by having less gaining more scruples about how you people act! "

I agree with all of this except for the fact that you pin it on one political party, there hasn't been any empathetic and empowered political parties in the history of man as far as I've heard.
Democrat and Republican politicians alike would strangle an old woman for her life insurance if they thought they could get away with it.

No shit. 50 employees is not a small franchise. And, I doubt it makes business sense to hire from the bottom of the labor market and good luck retaining employees.
Sounds like a lot more part time jobs.
