Speaker Pelosi would be once more moving this country forward, if the election were held today.

I’ve already pointed out more than once that this shutdown is suicide for Republicans, but that they are so much in the bubble that they cannot see this. Since they only listen to Fox News and talk to each other, all they ever get are reassurances that everyone agrees with them when that is far from the truth.

The latest polls have shown that if the election were held today, they’d lose the House. This was not true a month ago.

Of course, a year is forever in politics and anything can happen by next November, but you would have to be absolutely clueless and/or stupid to deny that the shutdown is bad for the GOP. Yet I still have friends on Facebook who support it and who blame Democrats for it.

One Facebook friend today posted that we should all email the White House to demand that Obama negotiate. When I pointed out that Obama had invited Republicans to the White House and most of them refused to attend, his response was along the lines of “Sure, why should they since it won’t accomplish anything?” (Pause for laugh track.)

OK, fine, don’t listen to me. I don’t mind that you’re committing suicide — good riddance. But do you have to kill my country along with you?
