Originally posted by pga_mike The Constitution and its first 3 articles about the three branches of the federal government and the power, duties, and limitations of each. I have friends who think that Obama shut down the monuments. You're right, Obama didn't drive over and shut them down. :-P So lets go through a few things:
The plausible explanation that's getting pushed around the left wing outlets such as DU and HuffPo (yes I read those) is that it's a government shutdown and only unessential operations are allowed to go forward. OK, I can go with that, but why did they take all the effort to barricade them and forcibly shut them down? Is there some inherent safety issue that we can't walk by the monument at 2:00 in the morning today that's different then 2:00 in the morning two weeks ago? There have also been a lot of reports of parks personnel being interviewed where they said they're being instructed to make it as painful as possible to the public so they put pressure on the politicians to end the shutdown. So, do I think Obama himself is responsible for shutting the monuments down? No, I don't. But, I do think it's pretty obvious that there's a general political strategy by the Dems and the media to make the shutdown look as painful and impactful as possible so the public becomes outraged enough to force the republicans to end the shutdown. Either way it's pretty stupid because as LB mentioned in the other thread everyone will get back pay and I saw something else last night that 83% of Federal employees are still working. |

NPS ~ 24,000 Employees NPS Furloughs ~ 22,000 Try to run a company with 90% of the workforce laid off. That is what happened to the NPS. They can't even keep the garbage cans from overflowing on the DC Mall. You want trash all over the Lincoln Memorial? What do you think it would look like after a week. AND... the Lincoln Memorial had green paint thrown on it less than a month ago overnight. The response from the public was outrage at the NPS for not having a guard posted there 24/7. |

The Government shut itself down and the Government is picking what is essential. Both party's are 100% responsible for the shutdown. The environment is so Toxic in Washington that neither party will negotiate with the other. Neither will compromise with anything and they both expect the other side to bend completely. The ACA was passed with not a single republican vote, so it's ridiculous to expect anything other than the Republicans to try and stop it in any way they can. To say "it's the law of the land" they have to support it is just wishful thinking. Either way, the system is jacked. #throwthebumsout |

Perhaps if American don't have enough respect for the Lincoln Memorial to leave it better than you found it then perhaps we should just close it for good. Edited by Jackemy1 2013-10-07 10:48 AM |

While I disagree with the current Republican course of action, is it really any different than politics as usual? The ACA needed the Democratic Massachussets State Legislature to grant the Democratic Governor to appoint a interim Senator for Ted Kennedy in order for the bill to be passed with an unprecedented use of reconciliation. Is that the way that the legislative process is meant to operate? |

So if your number is right (or it was 1 million votes like the article said) That is an incredibly huge crossover of the electorate that voted Democrat on the top of the ticket and then switched down ticket to vote for a Republican. In my experience with campaigning people almost always vote straight ticket from the top down (all D or all R) unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. In this case the reason is Americans were generally happy with Obama and the Democrats but don't trust them with all the power. |

Champion 6993 Chicago, Illinois | Subject: RE: The ACA has revealed ignorance about... Dems also gained 8 seats and went from 44% to 48% of the total vote. To me it was more a shift to the Dems. I would agree people naturally do not want 1 side to have all the power at least not for very long. I know less overall power 1 person has the better. Absolute power breeds absolute corruption. |

Down ticket drop off does occurs but usually not in measurable amounts until the State legislature races. Also, for your premise to hold up we have to assume that Democrats are significantly more lazier and apathetic to their civic duty than Republicans and are significantly more likely than Republican voters not to vote down ticket. |

Champion 6993 Chicago, Illinois | Subject: RE: The ACA has revealed ignorance about... I would agree but it would have to be more said about people who voted democrat vs people who voted republican. Then again also does not count for independents who voted. Perhaps its 5 million to Romney 2.4 million for independence. Also occurs to me that unopposed candidates also skew the numbers. I am too lazy to look at each race to figure out those numbers.  |

Let's say is is an 8% drop in down ticket votes equally distributed between those that voted for Romney and Obama. That would mean that the Democrats should have had 4.5 million more votes for House than the GOP. Again, unless we are making certain negative assumptions on the voting patterns on the liberal side of the electorate I don't agree with your thoughts that the House is control by the GOP because of voter laziness.
