General Discussion

I don't read half of your posts because they are so long winded. I made a point in my OP that I felt the "fact filled" posts belonged on a different thread.

The subject of THIS thread is my offense at the suggestion that ANY of us were good with other people suffering. We are not. We are different than Republicans

What I honestly think that you fail to grasp is that, yes, Republicans are quite ready to have the country go up in flames. I don't know where you live, but here in Texas, we've seen this happening for several years. They wouldn't have caved without something forcing them to cave. I know that. You know that. So, why didn't the eight Dems know that?

Why did the Democrats ever start the shutdown if they were just going to cave later? THAT is the frustration for me, at least. And I am not looking for an answer from you. My opinion is set.

I am not looking to argue with you. Your posts are much appreciated by many people on DU. I (myself) just don't have the time and inclination to spend the amount of time it takes to digest what you write all the time. I hope you're not offended, but if you are, then I still prefer to be honest.
