					<description><![CDATA[More Kabuki Theater for your personal enjoyment. At least for those of you who choose to buy into it. And apparently there are many. Many who are easily fooled. 

First off, you notice that the dems shut down the most noticeable parts of the Federal operations, like the national parks to get your attention - and the funniest part is that afterwards they blame it on the republicans. And the easily fooled are fooled once again. 

Call Boxer&#039;s or Feinswine&#039;s offices. Their phone lines are shut down in DC and locally. Yet Republican congressional offices with 15% of the staff afforded to Boxer or Feinswine manage to keep all their phone lines in normal working order. Go listen to Boxer&#039;s or Feinswine&#039;s recorded messages which claim their phone lines are shut down due to the Republican forced gov shutdown. How irresponsible are those 2 princesses? At a time when 95% of Republican offices maintain phone operations to serve their constituents the 2 highest federal congressional offices shut their down and go golfing - and then collect backpay. 

All the backroom government operations remained open and were never shut down.
All those pencil pushers who stand by the water cooler and talk about last weekend&#039;s games were never furloughed. And the ones who were got a free vacation. 

And I figured that the dems would sooner or later parade the military before the public and blame the republicans. The soldiers and sailors and marines should simply refuse to work. They can&#039;t Article 15 all of them. That&#039;s what I would do if there was enough participation. No pay? No work. That&#039;s an easy one. 

Let&#039;s not forget. It was the REPUBLICANS who proposed to avert a shutdown if the dems only gave the year delay to the ObamaCare INDIVIDUAL MANDATE for the working class stiff as OBAMA gave to his corporate masters with the CORPORATE MANDATE. 

But the dems CLEARLY stated that they would shut the government down before they would give the same delay to the WORKING CLASS as they did to the CORPORATIONS, which violated the mantra that they&#039;ve been spewing for decades about being champions for the &#039;little guy&#039;. 

So let&#039;s dissect this situation and view it with clear and unbiases minds, ok?]]></description>
