So the government shut down today over stupidity. Seriously, it was just for stupid reasons. It was just grandstanding and I don't think there is any other way people can view it. Congress shut everything down, but of course they still get paid. Assholes.
Okay, so they don't like the Affordable Care Act. Fine. Don't like it. If Obamacare fails, then Republicans win because they can say "I told you so" and repeal it. If Obamacare works, then Republicans still win because they were the ones who came up with the idea in the first place. Win/win. Why are you hurting everyone else in the process?
I think we can all agree that we need new politicians. We need ones who are interested in making our country safer and less crappy. We don't need people who vaingloriously run things. We don't need people who waste time and effort pushing their own religious or moral agendas. We don't need people who think screaming at everyone they dislike makes them a badass. We need mature, responsible, practical people.
Of course, said people would probably never run for office.
