So nothing changes, everything still happens - why is this called a shut down?

Peter King TRASHING Ted Cruz on Blowhard O’Reilly. How nice of the bloviator to give this creep airtime.

What train did Peter jump off?

Cowardly Senate passes the buck to the cowardly House ... the ping pong game begins.

Peter King, “Ted Cruz is a phony! I have no patience for him! We made a mistake letting him get out front!”

Listening to this guy cry is actually quite fun.

Yeah. For some reason the hoi polloi aren’t lining up behind King. Maybe he should rant louder.

Or, as someone noted on another thread, the chance that we could even shut down the entire government, even for a day, is about the same as Hell Freezing over.

"Cowardly Senate passes the buck"

When was the last time McConnell used the Filibuster (the only real power he has)?

If not now, when?

This TV station ripped off the story from CNN. It was posted here on FR as a CNN article earlier today: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3072058/posts

Ted Cruz the junior senator from TX actively whipping votes in house. You may cheer him on but Obama will not ovrturn his signiture legislation. The end game is obvious. The government shuts down republicans are blamed and the party gets hurt. Does it cost the house? That may depend on the debt ceiling.

When this all plays out and republicans cave, and they will cave, everyone will go after a scapegoat and lock that person out. I wonder who that will be? The large donors and rank and file will exact revenge. That is what happens to failed leaders of a coup.

I may cheer for Ted but I also weep. The end is obvious to me.

44 votes? So 25 wusses can go tell their mommies what good boys they were. Next they’ll go boom boom in the potty.

Don't cry. Cruz may actually pull this off.

And even if he doesn't, I'll keep sending him back as long as he keeps on doing what he's doing. He won his senate race when Dewhurst had a lot more money and the GOP-E blessing. It will be hard to exact revenge on Cruz. Because I'll keep electing him.

He's still got 5 years and 3 months to go, anyway.

Defeatism is a lousy way to go through life.
