    This is the direct result of choices made by a fanatical group of House members who would rather posture on social issues than actually govern. And they are the result of bad choices their electorate made in voting for them.

    Don't forget the Speaker himself, who I think knows how horrible an idea this shutdown is, and also knows that if he brought the Senate bills up for a vote, they would pass with wide bipartisan support. But even appearing to work with Democrats will get his ass fired.
