I think the statements you make apply to normal political circumstances. I do not think what we see today are at all normal. They are extraordinary. Even John McCain said he had never seen anything like it.
I am not saying the legislative action is giving aid and comfort to our enemies; I am saying the collusion among participating Republicans to shut down the government does give aid and comfort to our enemies. If you would like to take exception to my use of the word "collusion", I would like to ask do you think all of the campaign promises made by these Tea Partiers in 2010 to shut down the government happened by coincidence? I think the voting, or legislative action as you term it, was just a tool to do so.
And I do not mind saying if we Democrats pulled something like this, I hope the Republicans would hold us responsible in whatever manner would be appropriate.
