It looks like the teabaggers and their big rally planned this week was pretty much a bust with turnout with maybe a couple of hundred people showing up for it, but that didn't stop Rep. Mike Pence from doing his best rah-rahing of the crowd in support of shutting down the government if they don't get their way with no compromise on budget cuts they're demanding that are going to do enormous damage to our economy once and if they're enacted.

I just hope these fools in the crowd cheering for him that are on Social Security or Medicare or receiving unemployment insurance look forward to their checks not showing up if the likes of Pence get their wish. Of course Pence was trying to claim on every network he appeared on after he made these remarks that he didn't really want the government to shut down for political gain, but I'd say it's pretty obvious that's true after watching this display by him playing to his base and hoping no one else would notice that he was literally cheering on a shut down here, with the support of the crowd.
