Shutdown update (email from DSCC)

DSCC Wrote:Quick shutdown update – talks went until 3 a.m. with no agreement. The issue Republicans refuse to budge on: defunding women's healthcare. Yesterday, Sen. Reid said “the only thing holding up an agreement is ideology.” Republicans are so against funding women's healthcare that they would shut down the federal government over it.

They are holding America hostage. We need you to hold them accountable.

This is absolutely disgusting. Misogynist Republican man-pigs want to destroy the country's fragile economic recovery 'cause they can't get their woman-hating rider attached to the budget.

I'm infuriated.

On CSpan this morning, I've been watching the republicans continually trying to frame this as an issue in which we are being fiscally irresponsible by not going along w/their my-way-or-the-highway approach. Our side of the aisle rebuttals have been excellent, pointing out the far right social agenda that the republicans have attached to this budget battle.

However the republicans continue to dodge this fact by playing to the fears of the less informed general public (US military personnel may not be paid in a timely fashion, people may go w/out SS checks ect). All of this while pretending that their refusal to budge on non-generic social issues has nothing to do with the matter. They keep hammering on the 'spending' issue (as if they had nothing to do w/ the defiicit ( btw).

I fear that how the MSM media plays this story will have a crucial impact on what the average American understands regarding who is to blame if a government shutdown does occur. It is frciken aggravating, to have to rely on them (of all people) to explain to the civically-challenged general public what is really going on here.

The professional left practically dared America to vote for swine in 2010, and now we have to deal with the shit.

You got that right! Those who wanted to "send a message" sure need to ask themselves it it was worth what we got because they wouldn't get out and vote, and even encouraged others not to vote!

They need to take responsibility for what they did, but they won't! Don't get me wrong, I really believe people have a right to speak their opinion, but when they start telling others NOT TO VOTE that's going way to far!

The fucking "purity" Emo Progressives still won't admit they're wrong and they're still hitting the blogs actively campaigning for Republicans.
