The Democrats have already stated that they are going to change the Senate rules to prevent the minority party from being able to stop the majority.

still has to go through the house and Boehner won’t raise taxes. That’s his job, not rasing taxes.

It's ok because to do nothing accomplishes exactly what Obama is asking for, raising taxes on the “rich”.

Blah blah, blah blah, says Mitch.

Words to sooth us.. But a lie nonetheless.

What do the Republicans have to lose? They are pretty much at rock bottom right now anyway, might as well go scorched Earth.

Don't cave in ..Block it.. do whatever it takes to let the pressure go back to the obama regime. Starve him, don't help him at all. Don't give the welfare state anything more. No more tax increases.

What happened to Mitch? Did he decide he didn’t want IRRELEVANT as his legacy?

"ObamaCare will raise plenty of taxes anyway. "

How will the gov't collect taxes if it's shut down?

But, Obama has to pay his bundlers. Bonehead has been funding the payments to them, he must have a couple of more “caves” left in him.

Mitch has had this same position all along.

Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention.

To do “nothing” raise taxes on EVERYBODY, not just “the rich.”

Obama care is a tax, so can they stop that tax? I thought congress could stop spending.
Anybody?

Republicans own the purse, and that's a Mandate, ZERO!
Better check with OUR voters first because you didn't win by much.
