can still chew gum & talk & walk at the same time.

Your post to me has nothing to do with my comments regarding Jack Rabbit's post, which incidently was not about shutting the "government down", nor did he state anywhere or suggest that "progressives must entirely focus on Obama's role in the NSA spying scandal" <-----your words.

Your attempt to pull out the ol' boogey man and by using hyperbolic phrases like,

For if we loose the House,Senate and Presidency our country will be paralyzed for several decades.
does nothing to bolster your argument.

You have demonstrated exactly what I ended my last post with perfectly -

All other posts regarding these issues are just noise.
