A political party using ...I'm shocked, shocked! A political party using "tactics and power-mongering?" Next thing you know they'll get together, lock out the other party, twist arms, give bribes and write bills in the middle of the night ... and then pass legislation without reading it. Oh, wait ... I think that sounds kinda familiar. <br /><br />I read the article you linked to. <br />This was my favorite paragraph: "The value of a successfully orchestrated shutdown could be as big as any political shift in this nation's modern history, showing "moderates" of both political parties that they will have the support of the voters if they stand up for limited, low-cost government. It could be a stake through the heart of the Keynesian "economics," which is little more than an excuse to grow government or, to mix metaphors, a critical nail in the coffin of Progressivism, a coffin that in the past has never been nailed shut tightly enough to keep that mindless zombie from re-emerging."<br /><br />The author ends by saying a shut down of the government would have a long term benefit for the nation. Makes sense to me. <br /><br />Oh, and CJ, if you insist on calling the GOP the party of NO, could you at least use the proper phrase ... I believe it's the Party of HELL, NO!Idnanoreply@blogger.com
