Wolf Blitzer Blames GOP for Failure of Bill Majority of Dems Voted Against
Breitbart ^ | 27 Feb 2015 | Ian Hanchett

On Friday’s “Situation Room,” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer characterized the failure of a resolution to fund the Department of Homeland Security for three weeks as the Republicans “failing to break the deadlock over funding the Department of Homeland Security,” despite the fact that the majority of the votes against the resolution came from Democrats.

“How will the Department of Homeland Security protect Americans from a terror threat, which is growing daily, if congress cannot find a way to pay those workers whose job is — supposed to keep all of us safe? Looks like Republicans are moments away from failing to break the deadlock over funding the Department of Homeland Security. House Democrats joined by 50 Republicans, voted to block an effort to keep the money flowing for another three weeks” he stated.

We are living in 1984.

Orwell’s 1984.

If Obama/Holder fail to get the stay from the 5th circuit isn’t the dems position moot anyway?

You mean the Dems were the ones who mostly shut the Gov't down this time?

No wonder Reid pushed for a 7 day CR. He didn't want this to be the news over the weekend.

And remember they even gave him a mulligan so he could play in Final Jeopardy.

I was shocked - seriously - I mean I knew he wasn’t too bright politically but he really had no clue about the topics presented on that show and they weren’t that hard.

And of course it was the ‘rats who threatened to filibuster the original bill in the Senate to keep it from passing - but the facts never get in the way of what Democrats have to say.....

He should still be hiding under his pillow in embarrassment. It’s remarkable the man ever again undertakes to speak his own thoughts.

No. The administration will use the full-funding in court filings as proof of congressional endorsement (by the majority) for a continuation of the amnesty program. The administration won’t be wrong, if congress knowingly funds his plan.

Of course Blitzer is going to blame Republicans. It’s his job, after all.

Blitzer is even more stupid than Brian Williams. If CNN hires Williams after his contract with NBC is terminated, they could form a news team called Dumb and Dumber.

...”We are living in 1984.

Orwell’s 1984.”...

It is a “Brave New World,” BenLurkin, with an emerging dictatorship that a compliant media, for whatever reason, will not confront. Are they stupid, are they paid off, or are they scared? Will they wake up and inform the population out here who are too occupied with trying to keep life and limb together to research the truth for themselves, in time to avoid the same ending for America which we have read about over and over again from past history? Probably not. God speed, BenLurkin, as you and I and a few others watch this Titanic go down with hardly a whimper.
