Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the Republican effort a "wacky idea" that would simply "cherry-pick some of the few parts of government that they like."

The House of Representatives is where spending bills originate. There is something really childish with an "all or nothing" demand by the Democrats.

It does not make sense to reject a spending bill that is perfectly acceptable otherwise. Do the Democrats really care about their constituents?

During the Reagen years of seven or eight government shutdowns, nobody noticed except the affected workers. What is the big deal today?

Not senate rats. They work for the campaign funds Obama controls.

I have to admit, Dingy Harry is essentially correct. Now what are you going to do, Dingy?

Dingy Harry's plan would have worked perfectly against the Republican Collaborators, but Dingy didn't expect to face Cruz and Lee.

Too bad. Really, too, too bad.
