Government Shutdown - Thank Rabid Progressives

"Is this really a "Republican" shutdown? No," argues Matt Vespa. "Sen. Harry Reid [D-NV] and his execrable cadre of left-wingers are the ones truly holding the country hostage."

In at least four separate times, the House has passed a bill to fund the government.  Democrats have completely turned their backs on everything sent over by the House.  In doing so, they have also turned their backs on American families and workers.  How is that fairness and compromise?  Furthermore, 77% of Americans want to delay Obamacare’s individual mandate, including 65% of Democrats!

Vespa catalogues 34 separate news reports showing the extent of Democrat dissatisfaction over the new health care law, which is the root issue of the government shutdown. He concludes:

Harry Reid could’ve avoided this shutdown if he listened to his own ranks about Obamacare.
