Other way around. There will never be a viable third-party until we stop using "winner take all" voting.
Poetic justice
If true, James Lankford will not be invited to the annual GOP BBQ. A GOP member from Oklahoma no less, that would be priceless.
Also I'm sure Boehner would love this as it would get him off the hook.

Most likely.
The gov't has to start juggling payments, but that won't last and a defult will eventually occur.

That or they'll raise the debt ceiling without reopening the government.
Obviously, the ideal is that both are done cleanly.

Your point?
Clevinger just doesn't realize that you live in California and have the luxury of voting for a third party. In fairness, most Americans don't have that luxury!

Good. Get the people mad.
I don't really care about his parents. It's more the hypocrisy that would show up inevitably when one involves family members which is a conservative staple. Here we have a guy who says there's no excuse not to work or accumulate debt in the exact manner that he did in college, but now that we're on the subject of his parents being lazy it's all different, they're too old, didn't understand English to begin with, couldn't work and learn at the same time... And what's funny is had an immigrant family with the same characteristics come over a couple years ago he'd probably be shitting on them for not knowing english or jacking up his insurance rates with an unanticipated hospital visit that they couldn't even bargain on because they couldn't read their bill and because the corner store doesn't insure its workers.
In all honesty, I didn't know you could do that.

According to Twitter someone lit themselves on fire near 7th St. near the National Mall...

Pretty sure you're not supposed to do that.
The government doesn't keep track of you all the time, so if you move somewhere else and register there, it's up to you to unregister at the former place of residence. They don't cross reference databases to find you, and they double check old voter rolls for verification infrequently.

Personally, the shut down had to happen

Obamacare is a spit in the face to capitalism and the foundation of this country, this bill was designed to prevent prosperity

Name one other first world, developed nation in which there is not mandatory or state-ran health insurance.
How is it a direct attack?

Nothing like using short-term issues with the European economy as an argument against long-term healthcare reform!
Look, I know you're just trolling so I'm not replying to you any more after this post, but I hope this is enough to feed your unrelenting thirst for responses.
How do you feel about other government provided services, like the police?

It breaks the cycle of corporate slavery that keeps workers and their talents at a place through fear of losing health coverage when they might otherwise leave and start their own business?

What an odd thing to say with 2008 such a clear memory for most.

With health care at half the cost? Sounds great.
The European economy is in the state that it is in right now because capitalists imposed a gold standard-like monetary system on it.

That and austerity.

A gold standard-like monetary system requires austerity. That's why the US and all other countries eventually had to leave it (and why the Eurozone will inevitably have to be fundamentally reformed or abandoned).

According to Adam Smith, who I assume you believe is the father of capitalism, people should pursue their self-interest but should not forget compassion and kindness as they are also key components of capitalism.

He also said people should not listen to businessmen when determining public policy.

There's talk on twitter that someone set themselves on fire on the Washington Mall. Maybe a protest against whats happening.
Any word as to why?

I mentioned this on the previous page, but then everyone got distracted by the crazy "capitalist"...
-Shut down the government to slow down spending.
-Vote on bill to pay people who aren't working cause of the shut down.
The contortions they'll have to make to justify passing that bill will be mind melting.
Here's another question:
What caused the financial collapse in 2008? a.) Too much regulation of banks or b.) too little
