“cuz we don’t have the votes to make a difference.”

So what? Let his no vote not make a difference instead of his yes vote.

"The choice was this or shutting the government down...and giving all those government workers their back pay after their shutdown vacation."

Yup the same old hysterics. What ever will become of our nation if the Fedgov has to shut down all functions? First, they have never shut down ALL Fedov functions. They close parks, park services, and misc. services that impact few citizens. If they really shutdown the Fedgov, DC would be a ghost town.

Also, you're right, the Fedgov employees are on a paid vacation because the always get their back pay.

Shutdown scares are just another political ploy. Oh noes, I won't get my welfare check, until it arrives a couple weeks later. I hate DC.

Well Its all academic, now...they passed the thing.

Still a very viable scenario would have been to shut it down over Christmas and the new Congress would have had to initiate a new bill...one with Republican house input.

It might have been better than this huge steaming pile.

But we will never know because RINOs like Linda and Mittens couldn’t wait to vote with Chuckie and NaziP

So he calls it a train wreck but votes for it. What a treasonous POS. He won’t retire and the GOPe will find some chumps to split the base so he gets back in.

[Elsie]

We don’t need votes - we need WATCHERS that never let a vote out of their sight!
