I guess this is another wonderful tactical move by the leading tactician of the Senate, right?

Loser.

We need Ditch as leader because he knows the rules and otherwise we’d have Dingy. The Senate is now in OUR HANDS.

““Let me say it again: no more government shutdowns,” the Kentucky Republican said, when asked how he intended to adhere to his pledge made numerous times. “We have divided government. … At some point we’ll negotiate the way forward.” “

LMAO

“Let me say it again: no more government shutdowns,” the Kentucky Bendoverturtle said

Translation: Every time the democrats threaten a government shutdown, we will cave.

Somewhere, Hairy Reed is thinking "If I had known it would be this easy to get everything I want, I'd have lost the Senate last term"

For McTurtle and his Merry Band of Eunuchs, nothing that Øbama or the Dem-Socialists could do would be worse than a “shutdown”. In this case Caligula’s horse, Incitatus would make a better senator.

Given that one of the very few powers that the Founding States had actually delegated to the feds which affects domestic policy is the US Mail Service (1.8.7), consider that a permanent federal goverment shutdown is basically what the Founding States had intended by design for the federal government by today’s standards.

In other words, most aspects of “government” domestic policy that don’t deal with US Mail Services are actually unique, 10th Amendment-protected state power issues, not the business of the unconstitutionally big federal government.

John Boehner is the new lynch pin to this. His inability to quickly swat down a resolution for him to vacate the chair means that he might have crossed the threshold and could actually lose the job mid term.

And if Boehner goes, his leadership team will also be stripped from their jobs. At that point, a conservative ascending to the chair is both Obama’s and McConnell’s worst nightmare. Because he can turn off the money spigot.
