Shutdown fever

As Boehner is having trouble keeping his coalition together, a government shutdown is looking quite likely. Freepers are pretty excited:

blackdog is probably joking:

Shut it down. I can’t wait until my employer sends me back all my tax witholding, what with nobody to send it to.

eleni121 wants to unleash hell:

Shut it down. Unleash hell on DC. Send Schumer and the rest of the America bashers back to Brooklyn which shoul not be part of the US anyway.

AngelesCrestHighway has carefully analyzed and come to a decision:

SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!
SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!
SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!
SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!
SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!
SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!
SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!
SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!

Roninf5-1 hates the military:

The Belgian government has been shutdown for eight months and the people of that country are doing just fine. Shut it down completely, including Social Security, Medicare, and the military! Yes, the military. If our military can’t or won’t protect us from the unarmed invasion from the south then its completely worthless anyway.

RockinRight is sure this won't last long:

My wife is a Fed employee (and primary breadwinner).

We support it too.

Plus, it won’t last THAT long before something is done. A few weeks max and probably nowhere near that.

Now if only the GOP could find a way to place the blame on Schumer and Co...

Hoodat hopes it lasts forever, so long as no one compromises:

Refusing to compromise? Lord, please let this be true!

When good compromises with evil, it is only evil that can profit.
