A disagreement between Republican lawmakers over a proposed strategy to block President Barack Obama's coming immigration mandate took a nasty turn on Thursday as a battle between two powerful factions of the GOP spilled into the press. On one side of the ring are conservative lawmakers, including Rep. Matt Salmon of Arizona and Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who want to insert language into future spending legislation that bars immigration agencies from using their funding to issue the roughly 5 million new work permits the president is expected to authorize tomorrow. At the other end are moderates, like House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, who don't want to disrupt the budget process or risk another government shutdown. If Congress does not pass a new bill disbursing federal funds before Dec. 12, the government will undergo a partial shut down, with other essential services and staff remaining in place until a new resolution is adopted.

I guess they prefer the blood route.
I’m thinking the GOP is doomed.
Bonehead and McDorkface will blow this, and thereby insure the demise of their party.
I am now an independent, and will NEVER vote dim-bulb or repulsican again.
Called it earlier today. The only civil war in this country will take place within the GOP itself.
I am not voting for any GOP candidate who supports Amnesty. I did not vote for Gillespie in VA because is a Open Borders guy. If that means I sit out 2016 so be it.
Those clowns should have had their game plan in place and even a plan ‘B’....but NOOOOOOOO
You can count on them going through the motions without getting any results.
Did you expect anything else from The Stupid Party?
We need to do what Benjamin Franklin suggested when they were in the middle of hammering out the Constitution.
“I therefore beg leave to move — that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that service.”

A better summary than I’ve seen in the US media.
Still leaves out the matter that is most important IMO: Leadership cannot fold on this until after the January Leadership election.
Since Boehner and McConnell WANT to fold, and will as soon as they can, the Big Story is why the Dems are doing this stunt now.
Don’t act like an idiot. Vote for the least worse.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
If the federal government was operating within its constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended, powers which Democrats and RINOs hypocritically swear to respect, then please consider the following. Military issues aside, just about the only federal government service that could affect many citizens on a shutdown is the US Mail service, the mail being delayed.
In other words, the states should be running their own “government” services that many citizens now depend on the federal government for, the corrupt federal government having no constitutional authority to regulate, tax and spend for most programs.
Amenesty bump for later......
Strategy. They do not have a language strategy. RINOs have nothing but encourgement for terrorism.
Perhaps there's at least one such officer (probably one with enough years in to retire immediately) who would stand up and refuse to carry out Hussein's fiat amnesty. Then he could go to court in response to the expected adverse personnel action.
Give them a FREAKING CHANCE!!!!!! They aren’t even in POWER until January 21!!! Geesh, people.....CALL THE DEMOCRATS ALSO!!!!! GIVE THEM HELL!!!
I called the office of my Dem senator yesterday. I left the woman dumbfounded.
