And so the gutlessness continues. Full funding past the elections, then full funding so the new congress can't do anything about it. Then they'll play the same game next year.

Not one dime’s worth of difference. $17T will be $20T by 2016. Both parties suck.

Talk about a buncha worthless, gutless, POSs that aren’t worth voting for.

I’m SICK of this “vote for this louse, ‘cause his opponent is a lot worse” BS.

One can just hear the cries of, “But if we don’t support the RINO candidate, we’ll end up with a Democrat in the seat.”

Democrat, RINO...two sides of the same coin.

The GOP is nothing but Romney forcing RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
down everyones through with his imposition of gay marriage
and polygamy.

The GOP, the GIVE . OBAMA . POWER party is
worse than Ebola (which at least is honest).

Why vote? Nothing is going to change even if the GOP retakes the Senate.

The GOP is running on administering the status quo better not on changing it.

the possibility of another shutdown that damaged the GOP brand in 2013

The GOP brand. LOL

The only identifying characteristic of the Republican "brand" is that it stands for nothing, except for perhaps exceptional weakness. In fact, if there was a survey asking voters what the Republican Party stands for few would even hazard a guess. Its a vacuous party without a soul.

It’s important to get out and telegraph your intention to surrender on all points well ahead of time so that you have more leverage to negotiate and reach across the aisle, or reach around, rather.

Precisely right. But its actually worse than than. The GOP is guilty of false advertising. It lures gullible and unsuspecting GOP voters into voting for its candidates who will do nothing but perpetuate the status quo. That’s just outright devious.

+1. Excellent comment.

When Republicans “reach across the aisle” its usually to hand some favor or concession to Democrats.

When is the last time the dems reached across the aisle to support a Republican budget cut or tax reduction?

If I was a Democrat, I’d thank my lucky stars everyday for the Republican Party. Nothing better than having a weak, clueless opponent.

I looked at the ballot in my state, no even Rino candidates for house and senate. Out of about 15 positions only 2 so called Republicans, Governor, and SOS neither have a chance. Why bother?

They’re saying this and I’m hearing their Marlon Brando impersonation.

“We coulda been a contender.”

The GOPe wants to maintain the welfare state up to and including Obamacare.

In a recent ad, Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst said she supports “affordable health care”.

The Murray-Ryan budget plan is pure Western European austerity, cutting military pensions, creating new taxes in the form of “airline fees”.

Its the model of worse things to come from the Uniparty in Washington.

They will honor obamacare too, traitors to the republic. Their main objective “if” they get control is to reach across the isle. Sick of these cowards
