If you don’t like the dance which Reid & Senate Democrats are doing, then change the music.
If, as predictable, the Senate removes the delay of Obamacare then passes the CR, then let the government shut down.
The new music for Republican Representative is “regular order” for each department’s budget. One by one, mark up the budget, removing climate-warming-hoax programs, reducing department budget to less than the sequestered level, and ratcheting-down the “x times the poverty rate” qualification levels for all entitlements. Oh yes, and remove all taxes to fund the Obama-care-nightmare, letting it run on a no-cost basis.
Beginning of the cave. First sign of weakening.
Standard RINO Negotiating Tactic: Offer a weaker counterproposal before you even get a response to the first proposal....
The political calculus of the Democrats favors a shutdown with the impact blamed on the Republicans in general and Cruz in particular. So, the worse the damage to the economy the better. It will make it easier to hide the Obama mismanagement.
A complete and utter humiliation of the Republicans would be just okay.
Senate Pubbies.....broom McConnell into the nearest local cesspool!!! What a weak knee whimp!!!
Mitch reminds me of a recently "fixed" dog..
Nooooooooooooooo!
What is wrong with these people.
They have balls. You can feel then slapping against the back of your legs. If you get my drift.
I hate these people.
All of them.
STFU McConnel
This is where ya need to hit em!
Top right hand corner, “contact us”
IMO he wants a week because he is seeing some weakness in the House, and wants to start peeling them off. If ever there was a time to call your representative (or anyone’s, for that matter), it is now.
Boy is it embarrassing watching Republican politicians ‘negotiate’ in public.
That is their plan.
Tommy Tortoise, don’t cry.
I know who that is, it’s Harry Reid and his famous saying...
“Give me healthcare or give me debt”.
Jello for a spine and spit for brains.
What a STUPID idea.
LOL
Hmmm. You may be right. I'd better go back and check my references.
There he is the brave senate minority leader of the GOP-e rising to the clarion challenge. Sorry but the ‘scarecrow’ fills a more noble role out in the cornfields. Gutless wonders strike again.
Why not just shutdown for a week? Or would that be too close to giving the base what we want?
I agree. If he buckles on this, he will be voted out in 2014 without question. SCF will fully endorse Bevin.
There, fixed it.
