Ted is our only hope as a leader. This move over McConnell was outstanding. McConnell and the rest of the RINOs will be after blood now.

I wish Ted would declare his run for president now, set up regular meetings with House and Senate followers, and coordinate the House and Senate strategy and votes.

I’m for Ukraine entire..unfortuantely I don’t have much hope it’ll know much more that conflict...it seems to follow it for decades....

There’s a concentrated effort to drive out the Russian population in the east, at the very least knock down the numbers where it has no political power......and Keiv has it’s mauraders knocking off Russian Ukrainians in the cities still.

Kiev has to have the East Industrial areas...even if it means working with Russia and they know that...otherwise the area will remain a conflict zone in order for Russia to push for Ukraine to be “Neutral”.

Kerry and Lav are meeting Mon or Tues....regarding the status of Ukraine....

They just can’t accept that the government shutting down for awhile is not all that important. In fact, the more it happens, the more people realize that it’s no big deal.

Shut it down for 20 years until we balance it. We’re letting in all of our enemies anyway, so we’ll just fight them on our own in our streets as we will be soon anyway. Look at Europe. Police and government do little.

We should be pouring arms into any country like the Ukraine that Russia threatens. That is how you push back against Putin. All Obama wants to do is turn his back to Putin and bend over. I don’t get it.

No need for a third party.
Just get rid of the GOP leaders. As usual just a few cause the rotting of the whole.

” Just get rid of the GOP leaders”

Boenher & McConnell are the ones who have been bought off.

A shutdown these days amounts to a paid vacation for government workers and inconvenience to "the people".

They have ALWAYS received back pay for the days they were off.

Not funding DHS is another trick. Assume that Boehner, in Feb, threatens Obama by reducing funding to the DHS. What does Obama do? He sits back and laughs. He will just claim that since he has lost DHS funding, he will have to shut down border security. Bingo. That is what the Dims and RINOs have wanted all along. Open borders.

True. But watch how it's played in the media.

Don't really care how it's played in the media.

The conservative media will carry it correctly and that will fire up the base.

For right now, that is enough.

Boner & McConnell were well paid.

Don’t the Democrats still control the Senate?
