Why don't the Republicans give up their paychecks during the shutdown?
If Republicans want a government shutdown and want to hold everybody else hostage by not getting a paycheck, why won't the Republicans in Congress give up their paychecks? Why should everyone else have to suffer because of their inability to negotiate like grown adults do?
Why should Obama negotiate? Obamacare is now law of the land now and Republicans cant do a darn thing about it. So they can cry and scream all they want but Obamacare is NOT going away EVER

Actually I am going to turn more centric with this answer. They should ALL give up their paychecks until this whole mess is worked out.

LMAO! Harry Reid very publicly stated he wasnt going to negotiate and he didnt. If you are mad that there were no negotiations then you are mad at the wrong party. Maybe you should change your talking point.
That being said, I would agree that those responsible for the shut down should not get a paycheck......
ADD: SO now you are saying there should be no negotitians??? LOL! You sounds a bit confused there, son. Get your story straight.
But to answer your Q, Obama should negotitate because laws are passed, AND REPEALED through congress. Congress has every right to repeal bad laws. In addition, house republicans were elected by the majority of Americans primarily to stop Obamacare. If Obama and Reid choose to ignore republicans and refuse to negotitate, they are once again, ignoring the will of the people

Why don't Democrats donate $1 trillion of their own money to pay for Obamacare subsidies?
And no, Republicans did not want Government shutdown.
Reid would better accept that government funding resolution.

I think ALL Republlicans in the House and Senate should not be getting paid.
I think that ALL Democrats in the House and Senate should not be getting paid.
I think the President should not get paid until thim mess is settled!
Maybe that would speed things up !

Most are donating theirs to a charity as are democrats. You just failed. Look it up.
To put a bigger dent in your failed question, Harry Reid isn't donating his, he is putting it in escrow until the shutdown is over, then he gets back pay.

But naturally we shouldn't expect the Democrats who shut down government to do the same right? We shouldn't expects Democrats to actually show a single sign of decency in this situation they created?
