How House Republicans Manipulated a Govt. Shutdown: by changing the rules…
GOP House Speaker Boehner = Biggest Creep of 2013. CNN reported today that Congress has an approval rating below 10%, which makes the House LESS popular than Al Qaeda. Just let that sink in for a moment. Who are the real “terrorists,” i.e., the bureaucrat or the boogieman?
Here’s an interesting article to help bring the TV-watching public back to reality. Fostering a sense of responsibility should never be something we merely pay lip service to. Likewise, our elected public SERVANTS need to be reminded of the grief they’ve caused for unsuspecting taxpayers.

Peace.
