It’s prolly not the single stupidest Republican idea of the day, but it’s definitely a stupid Republican idea: a poster on a message board thought it would be a good idea to try and blame the Democratic-controlled Senate for the government shutdown, even tho the evidence suggests it’s clearly not their fault. Check out these idiotic posts: > [@Stupid liberal idea of the day](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-liberal-idea-of-the-day/579086/1177): > > Well, it seems the jackoffs in the Senate have done it again. It’s not just that they haven’t passed a budget bill since 2009; that’s irresponsible enough. But it looks that they are apparently doing it deliberately so that they can cause these continual budget crises, then sit back and blame the Republicans for them. > [@Clothahump](#): > > You’re complaining in the wrong thread. The liberal Senate is the one you should be complaining about; they have not passed a budget bill since 2009. And yet they sit and whine about how the evil Republicans are causing a crisis. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day/490897)._
