Do you think it is possible that your perception that they are losing the PR battle is caused by your personal bias?
.
Sure... it's possible.
AFAIK, the opinion poll show a 3:1 advantage for the Democrats on the issue. If that starts to change, there is independent evidence to support your opinion.
Source on that please? the most I've found was that there's 10% gap between the two... not, 3:1.
No, the meaning of my sentence is the opposite. It is being a right winger that makes you disapprove of the Democrats.
It is mentioned in this article from The Telegraph website, in the picture caption.

I love the shutdown. I think it really highlights the horrible partisanship that has been rotting away at our country the past 10ish years. I mean, it's getting ridiculous on the news. They're name calling and blaming like a bunch of 3rd graders at recess.
I guess as an American, I should be embarrassed, and I am a little, sorta, but the absurdity of it all on TV is really something.
*I do feel bad for all the families of gov't workers that have been furloughed. It really sucks for you, and it's unfair, so I hope it gets resolved sooner rather than later so that you aren't too adversely affected.

There is an interesting line in that CNN story, there have been plenty of people in these threads arguing who is and is not holding the 'country hostage'. The Republicans are saying, give us these things and we'll pass the CR and we can open this bad boy back up for business (the government), we just want you to do these things related to Obamacare. The Democrats say, " lol, nope" The Republicans also would like to see spending cuts in compromise for raising the debt ceiling, and the interesting line is this: Obama and Democratic leaders have since said they are open to talks on any and all budgetary matters, but only after the government is reopened. So the Republicans want to 1) cut spending on the budget and 2) reopen the government and hopefully 3) defund or delay Obamacare The Democrats want 1) a higher debt ceiling and 2) reopen the government Both parties want point 2, the Democrats point 1 is linked the Republicans point 1, the only part that these two cannot meet on is the Repubs point 3. From what I can tell is that both have that one sticking point, Dems don't want to talk bugetary matters until the CR is passed, and the CR won't be passed until the Dems talk budgetary matters and defund/delay Obamacare. So if the Dems would talk budget concerns, do you think the moderate republicans and Boehner would stand up to the more conservative members of the party? This is not a, "the dems are really holding the country hostage" thing, just attempting to show that both parties are being stubborn in this situation.

The Dems already agreed to a $70 Billion cut in the actual CR itself, so they already made budget concessions prior to the House Republicans sticking ObamaCare to the thing.
And the majority of the house is willing to pass the CR clean right now, there is only one person preventing a vote on that bill.

Manchu wrote:Not really. If the re-opening the government was important for Republicans they would not have played chicken in the first place. Now that they lost, THIS IS NOT SOME DAMN GAME.
I would assume that reopening the government is important to 156 Republicans. There exist 79 Republican Representatives in the house that wanted to defund Obamacare and shutdown the government if it came to that, 79 out of 235, or about a third of the Republicans in the House. While most if not all of the Republicans want to see Obamacare go bye-bye in some fashion, those 79 Representatives are willing to shutdown the government to get what they want. The Republicans are backed into a corner on this one because of all of their issues that have led them to this point. They have 79 members that are strong, united, and fething insane. What has happened with the redrawing of the districts, the Republicans have basically ensured that Republicans will ensure their position in Congress by taking areas that are predominantly old and white without major cities. What will happen in the next Congressional election (because of how this can turn out) could see many of our more moderate republicans get voted out of office. So the remaining 2/3rds of the Republican House have to play this carefully. Either they play ball with the democrats and get ousted as the 79 'tea-partiers' and the republican media machine paint them as spineless people and their redrawn districts will vote for the more conservative option that will undoubtedly pop up. If they play nice with those 79 members then they might make it past the next election and hope that they can actually do something to start to fix this mess.. This article probably explains my point more than I can http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/09/meadows-boehner-defund-obamacare-suicide-caucus-geography.html

Holy feth we agree on something besides X-Wing and Judge Dredd? I'm sure that the Republicans are doing the political backtrack. Though I always thought that Boehner was a bit of a moderate when it came to the Republican party. I did enjoy the Onion's Point/Counterpoint using the letter from Boehner http://www.theonion.com/articles/the-republican-party-cannot-stand-by-and-let-obama,34074/ For the work blocked: The Republican Party Cannot Stand By And Let Obamacare Destroy This Country By John Boehner, Speaker of the House of Representatives My fellow Americans, as I write this, the United States government is experiencing its first shutdown in 17 years. Democrats are quick to place blame on the Republican Party, and have accused us of taking this country hostage. President Obama has said our attempt to fund the government by defunding Obamacare is an attempt to extract a ransom solely for doing our jobs. He’s likened some members of our party to right-wing fanatics. But let’s talk about Obamacare. Three years ago, President Barack Obama passed a disastrous piece of legislation called the Affordable Care Act. He jammed this jobs-killing, deficit-increasing monstrosity through Congress, purely along party lines. And in 2010 the American people spoke loud and clear and elected a new wave of young Republicans to the House, which rejuvenated our party and allowed us to once again become the majority. This fresh crop of eager Republicans was elected to stop this president’s reckless spending and repeal Obamacare. The American people sent us a clear message: Keep the government out of our health care and save this country. And that’s what myself and my Republican colleagues are determined to do. Let me be clear: This is President Barack Obama’s government shutdown. This president consistently refuses to negotiate with Republicans about a piece of legislation that is confusing, drastically unpopular with the American people, and poisonous to our way of life. Instead of coming to the table with Republicans, the president would rather talk to Vladimir Putin or the new president of Iran. Instead of improving the livelihoods of the American people, he would rather resort to name-calling. Instead of having a dialogue, he would rather call members of my party extremists and children and say they are on an ideological crusade. Instead of respecting my viewpoint, he would rather question my leadership and say the tail is wagging the dog. Is this what people want from their president? In the past two days, the Republicans in the House have passed numerous bills that would fund the government and get America’s health care system back on the right track. But each bill we pass has been rejected by the president and the Senate without so much as a debate. It seems like the Republican Party and our “team of extremists” are the only ones in Washington actually working to help the American people and get us out of this mess. If the president wishes to end this government shutdown that he created, then he must come to his senses and recognize that the public has spoken and Obamacare must go. Counterpoint Help Me By John Boehner, Speaker of the House of Representatives Help me. Please, God, help me. I’ve lost control and I need help. The far right members of my party are insane. I don’t know what they’re thinking, and I don’t want to know because it would be too horrifying. I’ve tried to explain it to them over and over and they don’t listen to me. They don’t listen to anybody. I say to them, nobody wants a government shutdown, Obamacare is the law of the land, the president was reelected and elections have consequences, and we are only in charge of one branch of government. I say all of that and they just look at me with these cold, dead eyes. Christ, It’s chilling. Look, these people scare me. They scare all of us. Have you heard them talk? They’re animals, these people. There are only 30 or 40 of them and we outnumber them, but they have so much power, you see? They could end me like that. And they wouldn’t feel a thing because these people do not feel. They are out for blood: my blood, the president’s blood, the blood of any American who doesn’t agree with them. I hate them. I hate all of them. And yet I also fear them. I want to admit something: I’ve cried in my office every day for the last month. During this shutdown I’ve sat there, panicked and alone, scared to death about the next thing they’ll make me do. When they knock on my door, my heart stops. What are they going to make me say next? How are they going to force me to embarrass myself next? Did you know I was once known as a relatively moderate, shrewd politician? That was before 2010. Before the horror began. They haunt my dreams at night. I have this one nightmare where I’m about to ask for a vote on a clean continuing resolution and then one of them—I think it’s Steve King from Iowa—looks at me with this eerie smile and says, “No, John. No you won’t.” And then the rest of them are suddenly standing behind him and they all chant in a chilling monotone, “No, John. No you won’t.” And then I wake up screaming, “No, John!!! No you won’t!!!” and I’m crying, and my wife is crying, and I’ve sweat through my sheets. Help me. Help me make this end. Don’t reelect these people. Reelect good, normal people and I promise I’ll be a good speaker from now on. I won’t lie down for the president by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ll work with him if it makes sense and I’ll fight him when it makes sense. That’s how it should be. That’s how it will be if you help me destroy this menace. I know I helped create this monster, and I apologize. I am so, so sorry. I thought I could control it, but I was wrong. I just need your help to defeat it. Will somebody please help me? Please? Please? Anyone? HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, which the Senate Democrats were hoping to fight against and replace the savings with tax increases and health and retirement reforms.
But they agreed to the lower spending that cuts $70 billion from the budget they wanted:
Maintaining the sequester and lowered spending is a compromise, they could be trying to fight for the spending limits they want. But they agreed to the budget the Republicans wanted to remain in place. Hence: compromise and negotiation.

There is agreement, just announced by Tom Cole, to provide back pay for furloughed employees. The White House is signaling they'll sign the bill.
The House also is debating a special Rule to allow votes on 10 other spending bills covering a wide variety of the issues about which Democrats and the media have been complaining, including Nutrition for Low Income Women and Children, the FDA and Intelligence Agencies, National Weather service, Head Start, FEMA, and guaranteeing that furloughed employees get back pay:
H.J. Res. 75—Nutrition Assistance for Low-Income Women and Children Act
H.J. Res. 76—Nuclear Weapon Security & Non-Proliferation Act
H.J. Res. 77—Food and Drug Safety Act
H.J. Res. 78—Preserving Our Intelligence Capabilities Act
H.J. Res. 79—Border Safety & Security Act
H.J. Res. 80—American Indian and Alaska Native, Health, Education, and Safety Act
H.J. Res. 82—National Weather Monitoring Act
H.J. Res. 83—Impact Aid for Local Schools Act
H.J. Res. 84—Head Start for Low-Income Children Act
H.J. Res. 85—National Emergency and Disaster Recovery Act
H.R. 3223—Federal Employee Retroactive Pay Fairness Act
