Oompah-loompahs are worthless DemocRats.
He is paying for the obama criminal activity. He must be bribed.
The issue isn’t new funding; it’s budgeting and how to spend funds that are already being raised. I believe the Senate can originate a budget bill, as long as it doesn’t include raising taxes.
Regardless, the budget has already been approved past the November election, so all of this is moot for now and instead of worrying about what we could do while Reid owns the Senate, it makes more sense to discuss what the GOP should do if they hold both houses of Congress in January. (Hint: First, the Senate should jettison the filibuster rule, following Reid’s lead.)
That said, if the Senate is still in Reid’s hands then, it’s the “etc.” after “Obammy” in your statement that’s the problem. That “etc.” includes everything else in the federal budget, and not funding it seems to create more problems for the GOP than for Obama. At least that’s been the case thus far.
I think spending bills originate in the House, although that was back when we used the Constitution
You mean the 2013 Reid Obama partial shut doen of the US Federal Government?
You remember, that was the one that crybaby Speaker Boehner folded like a cheap suit.
No guts, no GLORY once again for the dedicated losers that comprise the RINO Party.
As long as our sorry Republicans in the US House continue to keep Boehner as THEIR Speaker, B. Hussein will continue to expect Blank Checks from crybaby Boehner.
Boehner is so blackmailed.
When did the Republicans ever defund any unconstitutional schemes?
>>I think spending bills originate in the House, although that was back when we used the Constitution<<
Article 7: All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives;
Budgets are about spending the money available. As long as raising new taxes aren’t involved, I believe the Senate can originate a budget bill. Not that any of this matters. Clearly both houses of Congress have to agree in the end if any bill is to pass, regardless where it originates.

Yes, and do you remember the beating that the GOP was taking in the polls during the shutdown. Besides, the GOP got something out of it, the sequester, and federal spending finally started to drop relative to revenues for a change, so it wasn’t a complete capitulation.
What is the orange, blubbery equivalent of “All hat, no cattle”?
Mr. Speaker Boehner: Tan, drunk and stupid is no way to govern, sir:
Paraphrasing Dean Wormer from Animal House
That’s quite a lot of liberal propaganda there. Nobody was adversely affected by the last “shutdown”, and it’s in the Constitution that the House possesses the “power of the purse”—unless you don’t like the Constitution.
“The beating” was something that losers love.
NOBODY in the RINO wing of Congress accused Harry Reid or Obama of refusing to negotiate.
Nope, the RINOs waited for the Democrat’s Left Stream Media to loudly blame the RINOs, and then the RINOs willingly Caved In, as always.
B. Hussein and Reid need never fear the unfettered flow of Tax Payers Dollars from the US House to their pet projects, as long as crybaby Boehner is Speaker.
Boehner is Obama’s last line of defense.
FORWARD!
So “a voice of reason” denies the Constitution? OK.
Unlikely. More like complicit.
[ “So GraceG, Vet, Alex, Graewoulf, lily if you were the speaker, how would you go about getting the MAJORITY of the people to love a government shutdown? Because that is what you’re expecting Boehner to do.”
You seem to be mistaking doing what is popular with doing what is right ]
Simple, I would start by not doing a shutdown but to save money give extended non-paid weekends to the bureaucracy.

Mr. “B” needs a different job, he is not doing well in his current position. He seems to be feeding people like me to the wolves without regard!
