#4  ..maybe, but if anyone bothered to read real history, not paying the troops usually ends badly (see the long line of Caesars, Cromwell, etc - don't forget the recent turn over in Egypt). The government institution with the highest support of the America public is its military. Reid stripped this from the Trunk package in the last submitted CR and made sure it got done cause he didn't want the rank and file to believe that only the Trunks had their backs covered. Not good if things turn ugly to have alienated the people with the big guns as well.

#2  And so it begins ...

* BLOOMBERG > BREAKING: US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OFFCIALLY SHUTS DOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 17 YEARS.

* FREEREPUBLIC > [CBSLocal] WHITE HOUSE ORDERS SHUTDOWN TO GO AHEAD.

versus

* HUFFPO > GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BLAME WOULD FALL ON REPUBLICANS, GOP SEENS AS "SPOILED CHILDREN":POLL.

It also helps when 9.999 times out of 10 the LeftMedias = MSM criticizes the GOP-n-only-the-GOP, NOT-N-NEVAR! THE DEMS.

* DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND > [POLITICSUSA] HARRY REID CALLS HOUSE GOP "INSANE" WHILE DEMOS KILL THEIR THIRD ATTACK ON ACA [aka ObamaCare].

* SAME > WHITE HOUSE PETITION TO DESIGNATE THE GOP AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION/GROUP FOR REPEATEDLY THREATENING THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE USA.

To rehash what I'd said earlier this year, as per FLOTUS-MICHELLE-VS-BOEHNER = POST-OCTOBER REVOLUTION/1917 BOLSHEVIKS VS. MENSHEVIKS, + WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MENSHEVIKS.

Totalitarians versus Democratic-Liberal Socialists.

To paraph "THE SIMPSONS" NED FLANDERS = D *** NGED UNITARIANS!

When Unitarians divorce, it taint pretty.

Ditto for "Where Commies go, Radical Islam = Hard Boyz follow", + vicey versey.
