Why on God's green Earth is it the responsibility of the Democrats??? The Republicans made this mess. Isn't that like whining about losing a game, and then blaming the winning side for not throwing the game???

Because the Republican party is the party of other people's responsibility for Republicans shortsighted and power-hungry actions. Republicans think they are chosen by god, so they cannot make mistakes in their mind.
