The vote is a humiliating defeat for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his leadership team

What a shame!

The Democrats are interested in a government shutdown because they think it means more votes for them.

Since Obama doesn’t want to compromise, there is no reason for the GOP to accede to his illegal edicts.

The Democrats can take the issue of amnesty to the voters if they want. Its their pet issue.

Bad news for Boner is good news for the country. Just shut the whole thing down and come home.

Anyone naive enough to think that he didn't know what the vote was before convening is too naive for politics.

What is really humiliating is the weakling “moderate” Republicans caving to every power grab by The First Dictator and even funding them! What’s the use of having an opposition party that doesn’t oppose anyone but it’s own conservative members?

that a shutdown of the DHS would threaten national security

the bigger threat is to the republic itself.

“Matt Fuller @MEPFuller

And the House Freedom Caucus has made an offer to leadership: 3-week CR that expires in 1 week if the Senate doesn’t go to conference.”

Let’s rumble!
