I hope there are enough people who believe the sort of crap BobOrme does to prevent the Republicans from getting their act together and again becoming a viable national party. Reality-based Americans realize that the government shutdown was the GOP's plan. Hell, they bragged about it, proudly took credit for it.
The Republicans in the House voted, en masse, for resolutions they knew would never become law because they wanted to shut down the government. Then, once the shutdown began, they bragged about the stoppage, and openly admitted that they were responsible. The crisis was resolved when Republicans gave in.
I can't begin to imagine how this isn't obvious to BobOrme and his ilk, but I'm thankful for it. I just hope there's enough BobOrmes in the GOP that it maintains its current trajectory.
