Really irks me to no end that ‘the people’ don’t want it...so don’t fund it period. Just because Obama says he’ll close down the government...well so what...don’t listen to him and keep it open! Since when do people have to do what he says since he’s already trashed the constitution?

I like funding everything until 01Feb15. Then pass a bill a day starting with Defense, ending with Homeland Security. Those new appropriations roughly follow the Ryan budget.

Yoho told reporters the American people spoke, and they want responsible immigration reform

We need a new government, filled with real Americans who won't be repeating these babbling bullshit talking points.

The American people spoke many years ago and told these corrupt idiots to secure our country and deport the criminals who break our laws and rules.

Secure our country, our borders and dramatically reduce the size, scope and authority of this expanding, obscene controlling corrupt government.

This is not difficult or complex to understand or implement.

I know that many here on freerepublic would look forward to a shutdown but it is a losing effort for the GOP.

I am long past caring about the GOP..let’s face it, they don’t care about us in the slightest..except when it’s “votin’ time. They only care about living the big life, on our dime. I personally would like to see the govt shutdown until a BUDGET is agreed to...a complete shutdown, no “protected programs”.. (The inability to recharge the EBT cards would make Ferguson look like a tailgate party)...bring it!

By March, we will own the Senate - til then, we dance ...

At which time, the excuse becomes, "well, we don't have the White House..."

They need to add EPA. That’s an election issue and economic issue worth fighting. Now’s the time to show just how much damage worrying about parts per billion is causing the economy.

I’m am telling you this. This quivering fear will ruin the party. I will walk away. Millions will walk away. If we don’t fight after we won a land slide after a shut down And we said we would fight “tooth and nail” — we are pussys. I hate these republicans— I hate them.

The GOPe always pushes through a spending plan to keep spending money we don’t have and drive the country deeper into unsustainable debt right around the Christmas and New Year holidays.

The GOPe RINO’s are trying to hide their compromise and their ultimate belief in better management of Big Government, not its elimination.

It was only two years or so ago right after the New Year that John Boehner made his “imperfect deal” with Barack Obama to spend more and increase the national debt.

Then Boehner was elected leader again by the rank and file Republicans in Congress with hardly a whimper.

I have trust in Cruz, Lee and Paul to some extent in the Senate and only a handful in the House like Massie of Kentucky and Amash of Michigan.....95 percent of the GOP elected officials fake conservatism or repudiate it in some cases to win elections.....
