Congressional GOPPERS Feel Totally Safe Shutting Down Government Indefinitely If Necessary. [View all]

Goppers, particularly in southern and even northern gerrymandered districts feel totally safe no matter what they do. They believe that Obama will eventually relent is they shut down the government and default on the debt. That he will relent to save what is left of the economy.

With polls showing only 52% blaming them, they believe that the hysteria they will create will shift the blame to the Dems. Also they are relying on the media to paint the Dems as the stubborn culprit. And they are relying on a panicking public to go after the Dems to break the impasse and do it their way.

They also believe they have already rigged the 2014 election and the rich class will shower them with unlimited cash to carry their message forward. That message is that the Dems and their policies worsened the Recession and will bring on a Depression unless spending is slashed and health care is done their way.
