Estes Park takes another hit, this time from congressional Republicans

...
Two weeks after the flood waters decimated the beloved tourist town, the federal government shutdown has shuttered adjacent Rocky Mountain National Park right during prime aspen viewing and the elk-mating season.

Now, congressional Republicans probably don't care about a little town of 6,000 in the Rocky Mountains any more than they care about the 800,000 federal employees who have been furloughed without pay.

Heck, Republicans obviously don't care about the 30 million Americans who now can qualify for affordable health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, the actual target of their infantile pique over the federal budget.
