1. That IS the message we got since last election. Republicans are never held to account

because they have M$M to defend them in every which way. Had Democrats shut down the gov't, you can believe it that it would be prominently reported in/on every single media - from print to radio airwaves to commercials and "news" reporting - and that wouldn't exlcude so-called "liberal" MSNBC.

But since no social security was touched by the shutdown, older, whiter people gave Republicans a huge pass and they voted for more Shut-downers. Business that have suffered because of the shut-down hemmed and hawed for a couple of weeks, but when push came to shove, they happily voted and encouraged others to vote, for Republicans.

No wonder this country has been rated as the second most ignorant country in the developed world.
