Pride? GOP Rep: 'Pride' Is Why Republicans Won't Budge On Government Shutdown



“Republicans have to realize how many significant gains we’ve made over the last three years, and we have, not only in cutting spending but in really turning the tide on other things," Ross told The New York Times. "We can’t lose all that when there’s no connection now between the shutdown and the funding of Obamacare."

"I think now it’s a lot about pride," he added.

Soothing their self-inflicted ego wounds is more important than the millions of Americans they are harming every damn day the shutdown continues.
