It's Thurs. Oct. 3rd and THIS quote is getting LOTS of attention because it tells you all you need to know about Repub intelligence and logic…..

“We’re not going to be disrespected,” conservative Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., [told the Washington Examiner]. “We have to get something out of this. And I don’t know what that even is.”

Re: "And I don’t know what that even is."

Dereck Thompson responds:
On the one hand, you could say it's just a throwaway line. Representatives say empty, tired things every day. But quotes have a life of their own, and this one is already being hailed online as the perfect embodiment of the GOP's bargaining position: Equal parts resolution and deep confusion. Forty-eight hours into the shutdown negotiations, one Republican stalwart's official position is that he no longer has any idea what he's negotiating for. […]

As citizens we have a right to be upset. The National parks shut down today…The idiots that caused this entire mess should be the ones to go without pay – but noooo.

"You don’t get to extract a ransom for doing your job."
–President Obama, Sept. 30, 2013

The Repubs tried to bully the President, AGAIN. And this time he didn't blink. Good for him.

No one being of *Sound* mind and possessing even a smattering of intelligence would ever want to see Our country..Or government…go through this madness.

But as I expressed yesterday, the Repubs are, IMO, neither rational nor an intelligent people.

I consider them to be, first and foremost, Haters. As one NYTimes reader put it "fueled by racism, greed, and nostalgia for an America where White Supremacy and the status quo was unquestioned."

They long for that so-called *Golden Era* whereby America existed for them and ONLY them.

Suffice it to say that those days are long gone. They AIN'T coming back.

And they (Haters)…know it.
