The fact that a Congress with no legitimacy after an election is held passes a budget lasting through most of next year is a travesty. I am sort of the edge of supporting "Let it Burn". The GOPe leaders are horrible poker players.

Of course they did. Bonehead actually believes that the message of the last election was that the people wanted the GOP to cave to the Rats in the interest of “bipartisanship”.

I think the Dems should hold out for EVERYTHING they want. All they have to do is say "Boo!" to Boehner and he'll roll over and play dead.

Hey, Boehner -- GOV'T SHUTDOWN!!!!

(Scared ya, huh?)

yep, and then once this time runs out they’ll say.. but it’s too close to the next election to do anything drastic!

THIS was the time to do something drastic ! 2 years until the next election! THIS is the time to take a principled stand!

All the GOPe republicans asked for in return was more campaign money to defeat conservatives.

Somewhere there MUST be pictures of every one of these ‘republicans’ making it with farm yard animals or SOMETHING!

Big victory for Obama. And an easy one too.

When the car salesman is smiling after the deal, you know you just got taken. Republicans were “had”.

If ever there was a constitutional amendment needed, it is one that forbids legislation to be moved, short of war or catastrophic circumstances, after an election has taken place until a new congress is seated.

“The fact that a Congress with no legitimacy after an election is held passes a budget lasting through most of next year is a travesty.”

This is a legitimate act for this Congress. Under existing law, these appropriations should have been voted on and passed prior to last September.

Here is what will happen in Feb: 1) The RINOs will add an amendment to the DHS bill to prevent Obama from spending any money on his illegal amnesty. 2) If it gets past the Senate, Obama will veto the DHS funding bill. 3) Obama will laugh and declare checkmate on the RINOs by sending the border agents home for lack of funding. 4) Bingo. Open border and mass Democrat celebrations.

Obama’s Chicago Mob has something very nasty on Boehner. There’s no other explanation, because no one could be this stupid in negotiations. If the government had shut down, it would have been the Democrats’ fault. The wusses in the GOP leadership refused to even talk to the conservatives.
This blatant bending over for Wall St. and the Chamber of Amnesty donors is sickening.

Of course the Republicans caved. It’s what the gutless cowards DO.

Jim's math was off. All they needed was 57 dems, since 162 pubbies voted for this omnibus monstrosity of drek, when all they really had to do was "pass a clean CR for 3 months and give themselves reasonable time to complete a thoughtful budget that everyone could read” or let Elizabeth Warren "shut down the government".

Back to the Good Old Days (for democrats) during the Bush administration when republicans held the White House and a majority in both houses but democrats basically ran congress and the senate.

The main thing the GOP gave the Dems in this bill is a voting majority for it, so the majority of Dems could vote against it, even though it has everything they wanted. The only thing the GOP wanted was changes to Dodd-Frank so the guys who bankroll both parties can operate more freely.
Any Republican in the house running for their next reelection will have to answer for this in the primaries and if they survive that will get blasted by the Dems because they voted against this horrible bill that destroyed the country and our way of life. I bet Hillary is against it also...
