Shutdown - The tea party`s last move?

[Airyaman]

You are aware that people on the other side of the political fence similarly believe you all are deluded and slaves to government, among a plethora of other faults, right?

I'm not sure who this is directed at. If me, yes, I'm aware that's their line, but it misses the mark in my case. I would probably be a Republican if the party hadn't shifted so far right during my lifetime. Think of me as a member of that vanishing tribe without a party: the moderate Republican.

I direct this towards people who like to simply trot out insults towards those on the other side...whatever side they are on. It all sounds the same, just different terms being used.
