Why is it

That it is only the Republicans (and especially Tea Party Republicans) that are blamed for their intransigence?

What about the Democrats who won't compromise....who pushed an unpopular government program down the throats of the unwilling populace? Who won't allow any spending cuts to be made to any socialist government aid programs? To any of the (spit) entitlement programs....to any of the "Green" boondoggles?

While neither party has covered themselves in glory in the past few years, both are at fault for the mess in which they find themselves.

Seems to me that the Democrats have turned down several budgets before this latest one....and only this latest defunds Obamacare. Seems to me that the DNC controlled Senate is the stoppage here.
