But the title should read:
“Senate Defiant over House bills.”
Its on then..
Which Republicans voted with Reid?
Democrats In Senate Vote To Deprive People of Lifesaving Medical Devices, Stop Military Pay, and Shove Granny Off A Cliff.
I don’t expect to live long enough (especially under Ocare) to ever see the above headline.
Frankly, I’d pass a CR at this point for 30 days and make a big stink about ZERO interest in bi-partisanship from the Democrats.
Okay....good work guys....take the rest of the week off and let’s take another look at this in about, oh....say....a month? Three? Hey, let’s give it time to cogitate and say we meet back here in frigging six months. Okay?
Fine by me. They don’t have anything I want or need.
1) The Republicans in the House have a spending bill! At a time like this?? Don't those guys know that we're broke?!
2) The responsible Democrats in the Senate have killed that nasty spending bill so that the country does not go deeper into debt.
Of course all of that is a gross misinterpretation of the facts. But I think the media pushes that stuff on purpose.
Start passing the budget piece by piece.
First, fund Social Security.
Then Medicare.
Then Department of Defense.
Keep passing individual (not omnibus) spending bills.
Make the Senate vote for or against the stuff Americans expect to get passed (whether we like them or not, is another question.)
But don’t pass a bill for the Department of Health or whatever the Death Panel calls itself these days.
(*credit to Jim Thompson [sic] whose idea this is*)
Oh if the government shuts down I intend to riot inthe streets as mass chaos and panic sets in.....

Just kidding I am sure it won’t really affect me one way or another...
Maybe the Obama care door to door coaches won’t show up and I will be lonely and have to rely on Jehova Witlesses and Mormon Missionaries to keep me company....
Democrat senate votes for a government shutdown.
The bill the senate killed was a huge compromise. It’ll take some remarkable intransigence and media spin to blame the coming shutdown on anyone other than the Rats. I’m sure Rat voters are capable of the brain fart necessary to blame the GOP and I know the Rat media is capable of such spin. Especially since ever RINO has been preemptively blaming the Tea Party.
With the government shutdown, how long would it take to get out of debt?
The henkster predicts that both houses will convene at 10:55 p.m. to vote a “compromise” (surrender) CR that continues the lack of budget charade for another year, funds 0bamacare, does not delay the individual mandate, and promises to create a “bipartisan commission to study amendments” to 0bamacare.
Just in time for the 11 o’clock news.
You heard it here first.
“Government shutdown? Nonsense. Only in our dreams will the U.S. government shut down. The current flap about an impending shutdown represents only the latest episode in the soap opera that stars the government as the hysterical teenage drama queen. For fiscal year 2013, which will end in a week, estimated federal revenue is expected to be about $2.7 trillion. In real terms, this revenue is roughly equal to the amount the government spent ten years ago, near the beginning of the Bush II administration.”

Boner should say “We sent two CRs to the senate that funded the government. We won’t be sending anymore.”
