They just did it right now. They threatened to not pass a bill to fund the government unless Obama gave in to their demands of defunding Obamacare. Obama was right to not negotiate with them, because negotiating with terrorists only encourages them to do it again.

Extortion is unethical. Outright lying is unethical.

How do you know that the Republicans are lying about anything?
I see them lie every time I see one on TV. They were lying when they claimed that Obamacare had "death panels". People like Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz lie ever time they call Obamacare a "bill", when in fact it's "the law". They know full well the difference between a bill and a law, so they are obviously lying.

How are the Republicans screwing anyone over?
Shutting down the government costs money, especially to those who have government jobs like my sister, and maybe even many on this forum. It also affects the stock market, the reputation and credit of the United States throughout the world, and many others.

How do you know that the Democrats are not screwing people over?
I didnt say anything about the Democrats. They have their own issues. My problem at the moment is that the Republicans shut down the government for political gain, and this is part of a larger pattern of behavior that I have seen by them over the last decade.
