Government Shutdown 2013: House Approves Bill to Reopen Government



http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/10/government-shutdown-2013-senate-plan-could-be-in-place-by-wednesday-95441.html

I know I'm a few days behind, but I wanted to post the article mentioning about the House approving bill to reopen the government.  The "partial" shutdown ended last Thursday after a "bipartisan" bill was approved to reopen the government.  I know there are several opinions about who was at fault for the government shutdown.  Some blamed the GOP, others blamed the Tea Party.  I want to say the Tea Party isn't at fault for the GOP shutdown.  None of the GOP in Congress represent the Tea Party.  The Tea Party is about constitutional government and government stopping wasteful spending. I have the most trouble with the GOP who have proven themselves to be blatant liars when they promised the American people during the 2010 midterm elections that they would repeal or defund Obamacare.  Instead, they allowed for the defunding of Obamacare to be attached to a continuing resolution which the GOP knew would never pass.  It was a foolish the way Senators Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul presented the resolution.  It was set up to fail.  They knew it would never work.  It makes me furious.  These incumbents need to be voted out.  During the 2014 midterm election, we need to vote out all incumbents who are up for re-election.
