#1 The Dems can't admit that the context has shifted. Many people (myself included) are predisposed to viewing a government shutdown as a GOOD THING.

#2 Pelosi-Reid failed to pass any Congressional budget this year.
As of today several funding appropriations (spending authorizations) for the 2011 fiscal year which begins 1 October will not be passed before that fiscal year starts or until after the election.

So what's the point? You have the power and control and still fail to get the job done yourself. Maybe, just maybe, this is telling you that government is TOO BIG. Time to go back to the basics.

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

#3 The President, like most Americans, is open to hearing new ideas

But will "I won" be the answer?

#5 Actually, Americans are hearing plenty of ideas from the Republicans: shut down Obamacare, reduce paperwork for small businesses, control the border... the creative ideas are coming from those boring Tea Partiers and their even more boring Rebublican targets.

I think the Dems think the sheer number of their ideas means they are doing more. The Trunks only have a few simple ideas. How could a few simple ideas be called good government when the Dems have so many ideas, even if they are intricate and misdirected?
