LOL Todd wants the dems to trash it behind everyone's back.
Sorry Chuck, the dems are bold these days and think they can get away with anything.
delay the medical device tax?
That’s it?
That’s all the GOPe settled for??
do it?
Surrender and go home?
They might as well go home. How hard can it be to to sumbit a “Continuing Resolution.” First Graders could do this for a whole lot less and without a staff.
We are paying them to do nothing. As far as staffers - who writes the rules for these bozos? Staffers should not be entitle to subsidies. These morons have their staffers write their speeches, make their appointments and tell them what they need to say. They are the as responsible as the elected officials.
The spending bills are already in the Senate. Each time they refuse to negotiate, make the next bill even more conservative. Start taking stuff out of the budget instead of negotiating.
To default on the debt is going to be ugly and will ruin us - but so will Obamacare. The difference is the speed.
Obama does not convene the House.
The Constitution says they cannot adjourn for more than 3 days without the consent of the OTHER HOUSE; Senate.
The President does not control Congress. They are separate branches.
They can give themselves a 3 day break, that’s it
Yes, they should. There is no need for them to pass a spending bill just because it will pass the prez’s desk.
“[The President] may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them”
It’s not extraordinary. Besides they can only adjourn for 3 days without the Senate doing it too.
Update #11 Obama peed in his pants
I don't think many of the cheerleaders on this thread read the article. The House has conceded everything but a few scraps, hoping for some kind of token PR victory. Reid won't even give them that.
No put an offer on the table, vote on it and leave. Let dickless Reid keep the government shutdown.
That would mean no immigration bill, which would be a VERY good thing.
As if conservatives would ever win the PR battle in today’s climate. Obama got reelected. That should tell you something.
Bunch of pussie, they are. Let them leave the f’n country for all I care.
I loathe sobbing drunks.
Reid doesn’t need one because Boehner has no balls.
I am so disgusted with the GOP.
Santorum had it right just now...they have taken the hits, this is not the time to fold.
“I am so disgusted with the GOP”
So am I.
“Reid angrily rejects the House GOP plan (such as it exists), even though it’s not that different from his own.”
Reid, stomping his feet: “THAT WAS MY IDEA! MINE!”
Ha! It’ll look like Reid is capitulating to the House.
This gets more entertaining by the hour. Newsflash, Harry. There’s another legislative body!
I’m just dumbfounded! Complete and utter collapse?
