Does it not?)
You're forgetting one key fact. In almost all cases it was the House of Representitives that initiated the shutdown, and always at the behest of the Speaker of the House. The HoR wields a hell of a lot more power than the senate when it comes to this sort of think as the proceadures for doing this shit can only be enacted by they Speaker of the House and not anyone in the Senate has a thing to do with it (the Speaker of the House is the third most powerful position in our government after President and Vice-President).
Also, in most cases it's which every party is opposite of the President's party that does this.
Seriously, if you're not sure about how the US government works just ask. Or go read the US Constitution (it's not a terribly long read and the legalese typical of most US law is surprisingly absent from the document).

Glad you've chosen the reasonable couse of action.
The US will do with Obama what Australia did with Gillard.
Yeah, that's not how our government works. Only possible way anyone can do anything to Obama would be through impeachment and the Republicans don't have anything to use against Obama or the popular support to even initiate the proceadings. At this point all the GOP can do is wait till November, 2016 and hope like hell they presidential candidate wins.

Did Obama commit treason by funnelling weapons from Benghazi, Libya, to al-Qaida-linked Syrian rebels?
If so, could this be grounds for impeachment?
These US trucker guys seem to think so.....

Also...Critics believe that this staged shutdown is mere Punch-n-Judy, in order to conceal and sneak in other shocking legislation through the back door.
What are your thoughts on this?

I think it's yet more proof that A) Jon Voight is a fucking nutjob, and B) it's never a good idea to use the Entertainment section of a news source for anything other than ogling celebrities.

Perhaps, though plenty of Americans feel the same, red-neck or not...and seem to be taking considerable steps to bring about impeachment.
It seems even his more devout supporters aren’t at all impressed with his socialist UNtopian ideals.
Do you think an impeachment is on the horizon?
Or do you think an outspoken capitalist America will happily stand by and let socialist Obama destroy their nations economy?

Other than Obama, who knows the name of an Australian politician, past or present this article applies to?
http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/ins ... socialism/
Hint:
"Mooooeeeeving Fooooeeeewweeeerd."
Again, the US will dispose of Obama/Democrats the way Australia disposed of Gillard-Rudd/Labor.
It might take a little longer, but it will be quite a while before another Democrat gets elected after the radical Marxist Obama.
Obama= Black
Gillard= Woman
Both played the minority card ...both scream discrimination racism/sexism when faced with opposition to their policies...and both are socialist Marxist progressives with mentors and relatives linked to communist parties and organisations.
I knew the US would wake up eventually to what they had unwittingly elected.
Better late than never I guess.

Must be the same misandrist who had her weeping interview with that lesbian femo nutcase about how all the boys were big bullies and made her upset as PM
If she wants equality then why doesnt she act equally like all other ex-PMs and disappear for a lengthy term!!!
Women...if they had brains they'd be men
