The truth is, democrats always try to get along. They always make concessions. Republicans NEVER do. When Clinton was in office, they completely shut down the government for, what was it, 2 weeks or something? When have democrats ever been so unreasonable? And... republicans would do it again today, even with our economy slipping into the abyss, because they don't give a shit about the people of this country. They only care about their base, and their ideology.

Clinton shut the government down (twice), when he turned the GOP's budget away for excessive spending, not the other way around.
It was about the only thing the schmuck did that was worth a damn.
