Conservative Group Airing Ads On Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A conservative group is airing television and radio ads urging Democrats to eliminate funding for President Barack Obama's health care law to resolve a government shutdown.

I highly doubt they can keep the intensity up for that long. This shutdown and debt ceiling will go away one way or another and people will realize that the ACA is pretty boring in practice.
