This'n'That; April Seventh #3; Why Are They Afraid?

Are republicRATs Losing Their Nerve?
    Now, with but a day-and-a-half until the 'Shutdown-Showdown,' the republicRATs seem to be waffling on the idea.  Why?  Is it the owe-bamacRATic reminders of the 1995 'shutdown?'  Is it the poll numbers?
    Mr Boehner has to know:  the public mood is far different today than in 1995.  With 'Tea Party' membership continuing to grow, a shutdown has far more--albeit quiet--support this time around. 
    Don't forget "Clown Prince" owe-bama 'crowing' about a government shutdown forced by the budget impasse as "being the height of irresponsibility."  The truth of the matter is that during the last budget cycle owe-bama, 'Pinky' reid and nancy PORKlosi refused to deal with a  budget proposal-THAT's the height of irresponsibility-a clear illustration of each's leadership abilities!!  Why, you ask?  It was an election cycle as well, and all three feared for the political damage that would be caused by the explosive spending they had planned.  Well, the spending 'exploded' and the owe-bamacRATs suffered the 'political damage!'  Now, the owe-bamacRATs are subtly, quietly, engineering a shutdown without too many owe-bamacRATic 'fingerprints' on it.  See, the republicRATs can satisfactorily explain each cut in spending, which gives the owe-bamacRATs nothing to denigrate-except a shutdown!!
