Forgive me. Read your post too quickly.

No, I'm stating that not all the politicians share the same amount of fault. There are certainly groups here who are more at fault than others, and to put a general blame on all of them does nothing to solve the problem.
It's not about blaming the "other side," so much as creating an educated viewpoint of the series of events that led up to this point. When a failure to pass a budget results in a government shutdown, the burden of proof should be clearly placed upon the obstructionist group to validate their actions.
