The conservatives have an obligation to repeal Obamacare, not simply to defund it. That piece of legislation was voted on before anyone had the opportunity to even read it. Thus the Republication "establishment" is guilty of duplicity and owes it to their constituency to repeal it outright.
Agreed

As far as the government being shutdown, it isn't going to have any significant negative effect on the country, if any at all. The only people that would possibly feel the pinch would be the government unionized workers who are way overpaid for the little they do.
In reality I reckon your're correct, but the question here is whether this will play into the Liberal aganda. There is no doubt the media will play the negative up against the GOP , the question left is will they be effective. I've heard it will and it wont and I know for sure political strategies are not my thing.

The politicians are the ones who have thrown this country to the wolves and gotten us in perhaps unrecoverable debt. If a privately owned business was in this much financial trouble, they would be forced into bankruptcy and the owners castigated for mismanagement.

Politicians and Diapers Need Changing for the Same Reason
Its important we dont come out swinging for the fence but take a long term approach.
