RE :”
Boehner: If this shutdown standoff is an emergency, why didn’t the Senate meet yesterday?” Or this morning? And Obama golfing.
Good play Bohner.

It’s the weekend. The Democrats need their drugs, alcohol, and mistresses. Nothing can get done until they sober up on Monday.

Senate elections should be quite entertaining for the next few years. Lamar had better understand that a Corker Session is something wicked coming this way soon.
GFR to the whole Lott of them.

A “compromise” that congress had to have Obamacare would be ridiculous. (1) It’s too easy to overturn and (2) they can afford to pay the penalty and opt out. At least with the delay, it gives more people time to find out what’s in the bill and why it’s so hated by most self-sufficient US citizens.

Because it’s only a rhetorical emergency, Bone-head.

If this shutdown standoff is an emergency, why didn’t the Senate meet yesterday? No way for us to fight it that could be effective so they are not worried.

The House stayed in DC. The Senate went home.
The House has offered 3 compromise CRs. The Senate refuses to even consider a compromise.
The House was available to work today. The Senate doesn't even show up until 2pm.
The House wants a compromise. The Senate wants a shutdown.
C'mon Boehner SAY IT!

Why hasn't the senate prepared a budget for the last five years? It is their primary function.
They have been doing this because they know the republicans don't have any leadership. The media is in the tank. The president and the senate have been funneling billions of dollars to their constituents and crony capitalists out of the bloated continuing resolutions and they have no intention of stopping their looting of the treasury.
Shut down the nonessential government until equilibrium is reached.

Because they already know what’s going to happen. This is all a farce for the public to posture thenselves as friends of the public and the other side as the enemy.
They’ll pass a 2 week extension and then the GOP will cave.

That's OK. Boehner’s next press conference is when he announces they will be passing a clean CR for 3 months; no strings attached, “for the good of the people”
Fold coming. Count on it.
