A government shutdown is bad for everybody except….

….the small group of doctrinaire Republicans in the House who WANT to shut down the government, and have shanghaied the rest of their party to go along with this madness.

This is not "representative democracy."

This is not "standing up for principle."

This is not "doing the right thing."

Why do we keep re-electing these people who aren't doing The People's business?
