all that grand strategy of Boehner and McConnell is cow manure as the Dems get their way in the end.

WHAT GOOD IS WINNING, you IDIOTS, if you go back to OLD WAYS????? DUMBASSES.....ALL OF THEM!!

[batterycommander]

Trade the Keystone pipeline for the DHS funding.

The immigration situation is becoming dire and sadly government dollars are being used to brainwash Americans. I ran into an old friend yesterday, guy in his 60s, who said its about time the borders came down! yeah, you heard me! He said “we need labor in this country and only a racist would have problems with Mexican workers”.

I wanted to punch his teeth out! needless to say, I will be blanking the old turd next time I see him. I have no time for traitors!

[Mariner]

Hell, we can't even get all REPUBLICANS to vote for this...so how are we going to pressure the Democrats to come to our side?

We didn't even get a simple majority!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RginTN]

Amazing to watch dems in the minority. They continue to fight while when the GOP is in the minority they surrender!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Reconciliation.

Do it now.

[Red Steel]

Only about 17% of the DHS will be unfunded as the Exec. Branch gets to say who are “essential personnel.”

[duffee]

Stopping the funding for the ILLEGAL AMNESTY is more important than DHS. We would be better off to kill DHS and illegal amnesty all at once. DHS is just part of a new national police force anyway.

[SkyPilot]

Democrats blocked the measure because Republicans insist on using it to reverse President Barack Obama’s decision to ease deportation for about 5 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

And there is your real answer.

Obama told the nation’s governors Monday that a shutdown of the agency will affect the economy and the nation’s security.

And there you have it folks! Expect the equivalent of the Reichstag Fire any day now.

[C210N]

What is it the ‘Rats are demanding here... that Republicans go along with them to violate a Federal Judge’s order?

[oldbrowser]

Use the nuclear option and force it onto Obama’s desk and let him veto it.

[Democrat_media]

government is the problem

Republicans deserve praise for shutting down funding for Obama’s unconstitutional
Amnesty in the face of intense media pressure “Republicans shutting down DHS blah blah bla”

Republicans deserve praise for shutting down this DHS monstrosity which is Obama’s gestapo as Obama is using DHS to target “right wing terrorists” who are just Americans who don't agree with Obama

[Democrat_media]

government is the problem. The media and democrats are also the problem.

90% of these stupid government agencies could be abolished forever and nothing would happen except we’d have a lot more freedom , more prosperity and more tax money in our pockets and the debt would be paid off: Abolish DHS, TSA, EPA, IRS, HUD, NASA, government schools , NSF, FDA , FEC ,FCC etc. etc. we need freedom now! None of these government agencies existed 60 or so years ago , definitely not 100 years ago.

[dila813]

What incenses me, is Obama needs no votes to violate the rule of law and we need 60 to even attempt to correct this.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

30,000 secretaries on paid vacation is bad for the economy?

All they’re going to do is shop.

[fone]

a shutdown would require 75 percent to 80 percent of his employees, including border patrol agents and members of the
Coast Guard
to work without pay

Now that is BU//$H!T !!!

NO MILITARY should be furloughed for crying out loud!!!
