So, the Democrats want to shut down the government.
I doubt I’ll notice, but I’m sure the parasite class (aka, the Democrat party “base”) will jump up and down and holler.
I think Harry Reid is evil!
Give them what they want. Shut ‘er down.
In a different time men like this would be swinging from a gallows after a swift trial by a jury of tax payers.
Not to spoil the surprise, Mr. Reid, but you are as predictable and professional as a toad.
“and without assurances that we can keep the country running”
The federal government is NOT the country. The government may stop running, but the country would not. It is a shame that Reid easily gets away with this nonsense. Nobody challenges him. Perhaps if the government did shut down, the country could avoid collapse. The government is not the country.
Hey clown, you and your party refused to debate a budget before the elections as was your duty. You then jammed through disgusting legislation in a lame duck session. If government shuts down, the people will hold you, and not the GOP accountable.
The old buzzard wouldn’t be able to say this kind of crap if the state run “media” wasn’t full of commie libs and run by the DNC.
Democrats are so full of themselves - thinking the Federal Government runs the "country." The federal government does not run America. The free citizens of America, their industriousness and hard work is what makes the nation functional and viable. If the federal government shuts down it won't be missed.
It only took 60 days for the Democrats to delude themselves in to thinking the wipe out last year never occurred. Now it will be 2 more years of this crap.

With many Dems up for reelection, I would think they would want to ignore Reid and deal. Then again, I sense Reid has more control on his rats than McConnell.
This is a man that even the prostitutes of Nevada don’t like. I heard that he is not a big tipper.
Shut it down.
The House should pass ONE and only ONE Bill to fund operations and increase the debt through the remainder of the year. They should match and they should cut 20% of the deficit (part of a 5 year plan to solvency).
Upon passage they should announce they'll take no further votes on the matter...and then stick to it.
Short of such action they neither deserve to hold office or carry the GOP banner.
The old buzzard wouldn’t be able to say it if a half-way credible candidate had run against him. Opportunity lost.
Any budget that does not cut $1 trillion is joke. Yes- things are that bad. We stand on the edge- looking down.

"mean spirited". Can't these pecker heads think of some new pejoratives? I've heard more originality on the school yard playground.
