As if the Republican party didnt have enough troubles, Sarah Palin has now emerged as the new face of the GOP government shutdown.
Yes, there really is a God.
Palin joined GOP Tea Party Senator, and shutdown leader, Ted Cruz and other Tea Party supporters of the GOPs shutdown of the federal government in a million vet march to protest the fact that the government has actually been shut down.
Point of fact: Neither Palin nor Cruz have actually served in the military, and both support the GOP government shutdown which closed the WWII memorial. But dont let that get in the way of a good visual.

Another video clip:
Cruz said that President Obama was using veterans as political pawns in the shutdown. Lee shouted, "The sons and daughters of the United States of America are meant to live in liberty."
Cruz: "Two weeks ago the President of the United States signed a written veto threat. He said, "If you open the memorial, I will veto it."
Video at this link at far bottom of page. Cruz speaks at about the 35s mark:
