[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, but the House Republicans are losing ground with the public. Their approval ratings are plummeting (worse than the President's) and they are desperate to take a stand with mid-term elections coming up in a year. The campaign is just starting and they have to make a point or they'll continue to slide through the election. So, they'll play hardball, which will mean a Mexican standoff which means that we're likely to see at least a few days of government shutdown. Compromise is no longer in the vocabulary of the US Congress.[/quote] the thing is, this group doesn't care. They are in secure gerrymandered districts with no one to account to except the fear of a challenge from the right. And you have people jockying for national attention (cough cough Ted Cruz) it's a bad combination IMO after watching congress as a spectator for a while, and a participant for years. [/quote]
