Sometimes I think some on our side can be as difficult as the far right: inflexible and black and white thinking. I appreciate your thoughts on this matter. I saw no end in sight. Republicans could care less about health care. What was the end game here? Continue the shut down til when? The Republicans give in and what if they don't then what? I think this puts us in a better position to fight for health care and to continue pressuring the repubs. We are coming off of some really good wins and with voters blaming Republicans. If we continue hoping the republicans give in and this goes on and on with no end in sight, we stand the chance of voters turning on us as well. Its not always about winning the battle. Its about winning the war.
