The current House of representatives can fail to fund (no bill to Reid) the government.
Problem solved.
I see that you are trying to get your party off the hook, though.

Article 1 - Section 7 of the Constitution.
Funding bills must come from the House.
You should read (and memorize, it's not hard) the Constitution.
/johnny
IF YOU READ PARAGRAPH THREE, what you are complaining about has already been done!
Big difference.
The house can seriously cut off funding. Not with that bill, though.
You are clueless.

Please take your dementia somewhere else. BYE.

Exactly. You think Obama cares about popularity. He is doing. Boehner and crew are talking.
If Boehner does that until January 20th, I'll give him a standing ovation.

There will be a great test between now and renewal, if it’s possible at all.
Alas, Brave New Babylon.
We are facing a severe test, that’s for sure. Obama is going by Lenin’s supposed saying, “The worst the better.”
Communism never comes in before there are food riots and the military is divided at best.
The fix is in, buddy, and we’re the rubes.
“The % of people who will get the Vichy reference is sub-1%.”
I got the reference right away, and very apt - comparing Boehner to some limp-wristed fashion designer. /s
Exactly.
"The more the president talks about his ideas, the more unpopular he becomes. Why would I want to deprive him of that opportunity?"
Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists.

Who said that and what have you done to spineless John?
Sounds great means nothing,it only works if he isn’t implementing his programs with money Boner is supplying.
Obama,Holder,Jarrett are in the Bank cleaning out all the cash,Boner and McConnell are in the getaway car in front of the Bank with the engines running
