So congress shouldn’t use their constitutional authority over spending to stop the presidents unconstitutional action over unilateral amnesty.
The GOP majority was elected in November to STOP OBAMA. Period.
the battle is the one over executive amnesty, but the war could be winning the presidency in 2016, as well as retaining majority control of the Senate.
And what good has that done us? lol It’s all politics all the time with these people. Never about what’s right or wrong for the country.
Yes they were. I am one of the folks who voted for them. I don’t care much if 15% of the government is shut down and I do not know anybody who does.

on the sidelines is an elite media that is salivating
They always have And they ALWAYS WILL BE, It is WE THE PEOPLE that matter, not the media. This wussy attitude is the problem. Stand and fight on Principle and get right in the face of Big Media, We the People Demand it!
Matt Towery is entitled to his opinion, as you are to use. Calling him names though goes to far
He's an idiot that ignores history, and gives up the fight before it is fought.

We had a shutdown less than 10 months before this most-recent election... and the GOP won but HUGE amounts. Exactly how does it follow that another shutdown, even more than 10 months removed from an election, would somehow lead to losing the Senate majority? Republicans want their elected leaders to FIGHT against this atrocity in the White House!!!! Those who do not fight are the ones who are in danger of being displaced in 2016... not the ones who do fight.
The media made a huge deal about the last “shut down” hoping to influence the next election. What happened? Landslide. “Please don’t throw me in the briar patch Bre’r Fox!
Matt Towery doesn’t get it. But Pete Sessions does. The GOP is every bit as invested in Amnesty as the Dems. They are already planning their very own amnesty next year as soon as they get their new majority in place. Sessions is bragging about it already.
Putting a rider in the new appropriations bill forbidding the use of any money to hire the 1000 new workers to process work permits and social security cards for illegal aliens is not going to shut down the government. If BHO wants to shut down the govt over his illegal actions so be it.
The GOP also needs to block every judicial nominee that comes along for the next 2 years. No more activist left wing judges on the Federal bench. No more Czars either.
Oh btw that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave would like nothing better if the republicans would shut the government down. That however does not dawn on you.
Republicans can't shut down the government right now. Only Reid can do that, by not bringing a bill to the Senate floor, or Obama can do that, by not signing a bill.
Don't expect nice anymore. I refuse to accept your assumptions or your rules.

You obviously did not read past the first paragraph
Matt is also silent with any specifics. He needs to either put up or shut up.
I agree. These pundits have no idea how bad the republicrats are blowing it by taking a shutdown off the table. If they won't fight they will get kicked to the curb.
And yes, I did. He's an idiot throughout.

Welcome to unreasonable. ;)

You might want to look in the mirror
Idiot.
The 2013 shutdown obviously caused all sorts of problems for the Repubs in last month’s elections. /sarc
