WHY it was important to elect Republicans last November

Because they were elected, beyond wildest expectations, by fed-up US voters. We gave them the rope to either use as a lifeline to stop Obama and save the US or to hang themselves.

They're out of excuses. They're using that rope to hang themselves, and bring the US down along with them.

Let’s see what happens with Boehner, the ball is in his court. What he needs to note is 57 voted on the gop bill to get rid of oturd’s order. All he needs do now is add those amendments back in when the other bill comes back from the Senate and then send it back to the senate where that new bill cannot be filibustered. 57 would pass it and off it would go to the illegal imposter in the whitehut. He vetos it, it is on him.

68 stupid, ignorant, corrupt, incompetent, greedy and un-American senators. Evil reigns in our nation and not many seem to care.

Mitch McConnell needs to be removed. Maybe he should start using Harry Reid’s exercise equipment.

Thats a silly question. Because they have an R behind their name. Oh, and if you don’t vote for the R, you support Harry Reid, Barrack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi. After all this time, I can’t believe we still have to explain this to some of you.

Is there a reason to vote Republican, and give them the majority? Methinks not.

The treachery of their collaboration has gone far beyond what can be expressed by calling them RINOs or GOPe.

The only fitting term is "VICHY REPUBLICANS."

McConnell knew it wouldn’t pass. You are right. It is a sham bill.

Yeah, we don’t want another workplace violence event to happen again. Who will be watching the Tea Party if they shut down DHS.

Meanwhile a woman in Washington state is going to lose everything for refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

Think about that a minute. :)

Why doesn’t Mitch change the senate rules to eliminate the phony filibuster? It’s the only way to stop Obama now that he has come out of the closet in full blown commie mode. If they do that, then they can pass needed conservative bills, and over ride obama’s vetoes.

It’s an emergency, the house is on fire, country being destroyed, screw what Reid and the dems and msm will screech!!!! Come on, Mitch!!! Boehner grew a big brass pair lately—fer crying out loud please grow a friken chin!

He is doing exactly as he said he would and was expected to do, He is there to do the bidding of the Ruling Class, The subject citizens be damned.
Did you expect something else?

I thought McConnell was going to put up the immigration part first.

Am I understanding this right?
If this bill goes back to House, it’s different bill so if House adds back amnesty language & send back to Senate, Dems can’t filibuster because reconciliation?
Wishful thinking because we know the RINO’s want amnesty but shouldn’t this be the smart thing for Boner to do?? & let Obozo shut down DHS by veto.
