Simply an oversight or is this a glimpse in to the true lack of morality of Barry, Harry, and their disciples? "Sorry to hear your kid has been abducted, we don't have any money to broadcast that information to the public or really do much of anything else to help you. I hope your kid turns up safe and sound eventually..." Now that I reflect on it, I bet that's a common conversation between the Chicago police and people living in Chi-town, Gubment "shutdown" or not.

You can't really hold it against the National Park Service. They've been closing so many parks this week, they probably just got caught up in their own momentum. But the fact remains that, in blocking parking lots to George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, they were technically trying to close private property. Park police blocked the property's lots "due to a misunderstanding over the ownership of the spaces," Melissa Wood, Mount Vernon's media director told the College Politico. See, though the Park Service does maintain Mount Vernon's parking lots, the property is owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. Neither the group nor the plantation receive any government funding, and therefore aren't subject to closure during a shutdown. (The Park Service did remove the barricades "as soon as they realized their mistake," Wood said.)

Never let a good gubberment shutdown opportunity go to waste. Pretty pathetic on both sides.

Poor Estes Park gets a 1-2 punch, first the Flood and now RMNP closes just when the roads start to re-open.

They're even closing privately funded parks that generate revenue for the gov't. Childish and stupid.

When the GOP threatened to shutdown the governmemt if they didn't get some concessions from the Democrats and Obama, they really didn't mean an "actual" shutdown? They wanted the scary shutdown idea, but not the shutdown actuality? It's like the gang who robs a bank and someone is killed and they claim "we didn't intend for anyone to get hurt".
Actions have consequences, and once an action is taken you can't always control what those consequences are. Apparently 70% of Americans will hold the Republicans responsible for their actions.

Don't worry. According to this poll the Democrats are working HARD to catch up.

Cant wait for the chart where 100% blame each party.....logic be damned.

You're quoting number for some poll, so am I. Is that problematic for you?
