Of course, this means the Republicans have just lost the 2016 elections.

Oh well - they always act like they’re in the minority anyhow.

“I don’t know what’s not to like about this”-——McConnell

You traitorous SOB, the only thing I would like is seeing you thrown out into the middle of the street on your fat, flabby keister.

Now go ahead, somebody tell me why I have to vote Republican.

“Now go ahead, somebody tell me why I have to vote Republican.”

You don’t and unless we get Ted Cruz in 2016 I won’t.

I quit!

If I understand correctly, the DHS funding bill will be broken out and the repeal of funding for Obama’s illegal amnesty program will be voted on first in another bill.

This way the rats go on record on amnesty before the funding bill is taken up.

I don’t think that is caving. Actually it is a pretty good move, the only one the republicans have. Yes, I know, aside from doing nothing, DHS doesn’t get funded, 18% are furloughed and the republicans get the blame, while the truth is, everything will run as normal.

I don’t understand the cheap labor argument when the same Chamber of Crony Capitalism supports minimum wage increases.

Funny that “Mitch” rhymes with a suitable description of how Reid treats him.

GOPe will never allow Cruz to get the nomination. They control the big money flows. They are corrupt and will choke him out, unfortunately.

We all know that Reid and McConnell were in cahoots all along to put the pressure on weak-kneed Boehner.

Boehner has wanted to go along with it all along, he's just worried about losing some power in the House.

If funding Obama’s Executive Action on immigration is stripped from the bill happens, why is that bad?

If the immigration funding is a separate bill the debate will separate the sheep from the goats - and it will be a matter of record.

-— GOPe will never allow Cruz to get the nomination. They control the big money flows. They are corrupt and will choke him out, unfortunately. -—

If that happens, I want him to go third party. And he could atually win, as one conservative up against a liberal and a commie.

Who is surprised?! Getting rid of reid was pointless since mcconnell would be the majority leader and its a known fact that mcconell doesn’t know how to outwit dems!

Mark Levin said it clearly,

The Constitution come BEFORE Senate RULES!!!!
That means,
ABOLISH the rule for “fillibustering”
and PASS by a MAJORITY.

The Democrats did it for less admirable reasons.
This time its to protect the Constitution.

Third party is the only option for conservatives IMO. The GOP is totally corrupt and wouldn’t even tolerate the constructive efforts of the Tea Party to reform it. I like and admire Ted Cruz but he is delusional if he thinks he has a future in this lame excuse for a political party.

That is flat out incorrect! Knowing how to do the right thing and being willing to go there are two completely separate things. He damn sure knows how.
