Because they become lobbyists, they don’t care.

These fools are clueless. Why even have a “party”. Pass a budget that has all the priorities except Ukraine and every member of the Repuke caucus in both houses vote for it. If it fails you run to the media and say they closed the government and threatened thr full credit of the US so Ukraine can get another 30 billion and you run on that until the budget you passed is accepted.

I knew this would happen and predicted it here. McCarthy did the fake impeachment hearings to distract from his plan to sell out America.

And predictably, most of the Republican caucus voted for the bill.

They better keep it open. History proves that extremely ignorant American voters always blame R’s for shutdowns and will turn the congress over to D’s.

Plus, not paying the military offends many people.

“They better keep it open. History proves that extremely ignorant American voters always blame R’s for shutdowns and will turn the congress over to D’s.”

Sure they will get lots of help from MSM in blaming the shutdown on conservatives. But history proves that republicans gain seats in elections after shutdowns. The base wants representatives that leads and hates those that cave.

Lol. The vote to keep McCarthy will be a duplicate vote of this current bill. McCarthy is in the seat if Democrats say he is.

I don't blame Kevin McCarthy. The Democrats won't budge a bit. They have the White House and the Senate. So he needs to make a deal with the Democrats and get it over with.

Kevin McCarthy could shut down the Government until Thanksgiving but the Republicans will get all the blame. So there's no point to this exercise.

You think the uniparty is EVER going to put individual spending bills up?

Not when they can bury everything in one and claim pass it or else...

Fools

If we had a real leader, he would go to the American People and call the Democrats the Party of Gl9balism and America last. If Trump gets in again, thier can be no getting it wrong this time. Globalism must be rooted out.

Absent divine intervention, it’s too late. The nation is bankrupt and collapsing, and not going to recover. Look around and you’ll see why.

We didn’t get to $184,000,000,000,000 in unpayable debt & liabilities except with full GOP participation. Nation killers.
