"Republicans are six votes short of the 60 needed to advance most legislation, and Senate rules grant numerous rights to the minority party." Use Reid's methods and change the rules to use a simple majority. WTF? McConnell is too much of a RINO wimp to confront Democrats with their own scorch-and-burn politics. Fascism advances while our republic dies a slow death...

What did these cowards expect when they voted a turtle-look-alike in as Majority Leader? He’s just pulled his head in his shell and told everyone he can’t do anything unless he gets six more GOP seats. Harry Reid managed to get his way by changing the rules, but the incompetent Republicans won’t do that. They are worthless, but they will act surprised when they LOSE senate seats next year.

Republican Leadership is really just another oxymoron.

Repulicans always eventually give in for the good of the country. Democrats never give in because they always win and are willing to destroy the country to get what they want.
Shut. It. Down.

We didn’t vote you so called Republicans in to work with the Democrats.
We put you in, because we’re tired of the Democrats.
So, do the job you were hired to do and oppose every single thing the Democrats want.
YOU’RE THE MAJORITY. ACT LIKE IT !!!!!

Can it be that with the present ‘leadership’ there truly IS no Republican Party at all?
There is actually a UNI-PARTY with a small wing that calls itself something else?

Truly, we have nothing left that resembles an OPPOSITION anymore.
Lock and load, boys and girls.

Change the D@7n rules already. At the very least, it will make Obama veto the bill. The shut down can be blamed on him, where blame belongs.

It's either that or impeachment. He completely violated the Constitution, as usual.

We need to remove this document from the Capitol. No one cares what it says. Perhaps after CW2, we can reuse it with people who do care.

Everyone knew what would happen if Mitch McConnell was reelected. Even before the election, he *promised* to give the Democrats the power to stop the Republican agenda cold.

Why did he do this? Because he is a worthless p.o.s. He and John Boehner would prefer to claim impotence than take Viagra, because they *love* the feeling of not having sex. In “50 shades of grey” lingo, they are “submissives”, “slaves” and “worthless worms who lick boots in exchange for being flogged”. McConnell is so pale because he wears a “gimp” mask when not on the floor of the senate.

But the voters reelected those two hosers, and only a handful of Republicans stood against them.

And because these two were reelected and reappointed, this means that they and their kind will control the next RNC, and nominate another Republican liberal, while shutting out all conservative input.

Let’s face it. These two worthless worms will continue to do things this way until our nation is in ruins, bankrupt, and blood flows in our streets.

Hey, Mitch, newsflash---the rats don't like you and they never will. So, put your big-boy pants on, change the rules and ram whatever you like down their throats...again and again.

Man-up or (like Sarah says) get back in the truck.

51 votes and deem it passed. That’s what Reid would do.

The Gutless Obsequious Pussies are in bed with the Democrats. They exist to give the illusion of an opposition party. Their real purpose is to block conservatives from power.

Tell me how it would be different if Harry Reid were still running the place,...

The filibuster rule would be eliminated. Legislation would be passed and placed on 0bama's desk for signature. That's what.

i thought budget bills only required a majority. Did mich change the rules just so that he could avoid doing the right thing?

Let the department fall apart we have to face that problem with Obama anyway and its not like they are doing their job with the money.

...possibility of a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department later this month.

And the possible shutdown of an organization more concerned with tracking the regime's political opposition than stopping Islam is bad because...?

51 was good enough for Dingy Harry and so it should be good enough for Mitch.

Remember all the promises about what the Republicans would do if they only got control of the Senate in November? Well, here we are, and they are moving the goal posts once again to justify their timidity.
