Did they just nip forward in time and bring it back?
Boehner blinked.
I’m shocked.
Who is surprised that they caved?
Passed late Thursday afternoon???
This is good, need more!
late Thursday afternoon? Senate rejected “similar” bill on Tuesday?
Did they just nip forward in time and bring it back?
This will corrects Obama’s screw up in closing DC to visitors and VETS. The Vets make a big ripple. We need another million motorcycle drive through and a million folks saying get rid of Obamacare.
Is this just dumber than dumb? You have a chance to put the Dems on record as voting against it and you decide not to count the votes.
Another opportunity lost. I don't get it.
Almost 4 years of failure to defund Obamacare is proof enough that Boehner has been a failure as the Speaker of the House.
Boehner skated by during this battle ONLY because Reid wanted to shutdown the Government, and couldn’t care less about taking Boehner to the cleaners, as usual. Thank you, Senator Reid.
The next battle is what Reid is preparing for: Crushing all Republican opposition to a large increase in the Federal Budget.
Reid’s plan is to move quickly, (Obama is scandal ridden, and has but 3 years left if he is not Impeached), to enshrine Obamacare as a single payer, Federal Insurance system.
Then Federal Obamacare Insurance premiums can be raised by the IRS anytime the Democrats need to extract more money from the taxpayers.
Thus, Congress would not be involved in this tax money raising scheme.
As for the Republicans, Reid is unconcerned about them, as he has always been able to beat them EVERY TIME.
Well, every time that Boehner has been Speaker of the House.
After nearly 5 years on the job, Sobber of the House Boehner still hasn’t figured out that Reid and Obama are permanently emotionally stunted at the 2 to 4 year old, temper tantrum level.
Boehner must be the most stupid man in our sorry Federal Government.
Boehner was led kicking and screaming to not cave-in to Reid. That is to his credit, but just barely.
Boehner was waaaaaaaaaay to timid with 2 year old Reid, and damn near gave up on staying on offense by continually trying to cave in to 2 year old Reid.
Thankfully, Reid wanted this shutdown, convinced Obama to want it too, and avoided the temptation to take Boehner to the cleaners again. Thank you Senator Reid!
Boehner has no ideas left now so he must be replaced ASAP.
This First Reid Shutdown is a blessing in disgust.
Ignore the slings and arrows that the fans of Obamanation hurl at us.
They enjoy making noise and Federal messes, and they are good at it.
We Conservative Republicans have the responsibility of adult leadership to the 53 % of the voters who still pay their Federal Income Taxes. We have a lot of work to do!
The House needs to get rid of Boehner, replace him with a fighter, say Newt or Allen West (the House rules allow members to choose anyone, even non-members to be Speaker).
Then the new Speaker needs to appoint 3 Special Prosecuters : 1.) Benghazi; 2.) IRS; 3.) NSA.
This is a perfect time to clean up the mess that Obama, Reid and Pelosi have made, abolish Obamacare, and start to wean Americans off of the Federal Welfare teat.
Let the fans of Obamanation scream and holler, for that is what they have been doing for the last 5 years. Let them have their brand of hate-filled fun. We have work to do.
It is time for the Republican adults to lead the juvenile RINOs to clean up the dung heap that is truly an Obamanation.
Sometimes one has to work with the crew that one is saddled with.
Damn the Democrats! Full speed ahead!
Nah...screw that....you assholes in DC can’t work out the problems of the COUNTRY without petulance, you gets no perks in your beloved town..It all stays shut down.
Why? Have you all seen the numbers for your private insurance? This new HC is going to totally bankrupt America!
As people find out more and more about how much of a pain in the butt the actual implementation of Obamacare is, it will become more and more unpopular.
Keep stalling while its popularity drops. Do NOT vote to fund it past Nov 2014.
Meanwhile pass a number of individual bills to fund what the PEOPLE think the important parts of government are.
Gotta love today's copy/paste journalism.
