Either side your on, this was another embarrassment to our government. This crap needs to change. If there was every a chance to get a third party going.....
Like it or not we had a group trying to form a party and the left media attacked them from all sides. Maybe the Tea Party is not your cup of tea but we need more people like them that want to change the country.
What is more embarrassing then the shut down is the lack of people who care we are 17 trillion in debt. We spend 20% more then we take in but only a few people seem to care.

:laughing2
The only thing they want to change is ship off all minorities, allow all types of guns, end all government, give more tax breaks, make laws based on their religion.
No...we don't need dumbasses like this changing our country.

yeah kinda get that, but the problem is they call themselves patriots but say anti american things. you cant hate muslims, immigrants and other races and call yourself patriots...being an american is about embracing all people of all different backgrounds. I cant take people like that seriously, the guy the other day told Obama to put the Quaran down. I have 2 problems with that statement, 1) Obama is not a muslim 2) What if he was? Freedom of Religion is an ideal that should be embraced by the tea party, yet they seem to hate muslims? Im lost on why?
One thing I really like is their stance on the term limits, Im a big fan of that idea.

I care about the debt but a pointless shutdown of the government which costs the country $1.5 billion is not a fix.
The debt should be a concern for both parties because both parties are at fault. Some of the debt happened under Obama. Some of it happened as a result of the crash of the Bush economy. Some of it happened because Bush charged things like the Iraq war to our Chinese credit card. Everyone is to blame and everyone should be concerned.

“This proves that when we work together, we can come up with a totally unsatisfactory solution to a completely unnecessary crisis.” This link leads to a short but very funny satire of Congress piece:

If your going to post something maybe you need to read it first.
"It has raised the alarm bells of conservatives, who have long complained about Republicans who spend heavily on their home states."
Plenty of Rep. spend too much money just like the dems. Thats why we are 17 trillion in debt.

I would love for someone to explain to me how it cost us money.
Because you asked:
How much did the shutdown cost the economy? (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2013/10/18/how-much-did-the-shutdown-cost-the-economy/)
The Costs of the Government Shutdown - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/10/the-costs-of-the-government-shutdown/)
And 9 things that cost less than the shutdown:
