The Senate voted Monday afternoon to kill House Republicans’ latest stopgap spending offer, holding firm in their demand that Congress continue to fund Obamacare as part of any government-funding debate.
The 54-46 vote officially tabled both proposals the House GOP passed early Sunday morning, one of which would have funded the government while delaying the health law for a year, and the other of which would have repealed one of the Affordable Care Act’s tax increases.

Oh if the government shuts down I intend to riot inthe streets as mass chaos and panic sets in.....

Just kidding I am sure it won’t really affect me one way or another...
Maybe the Obama care door to door coaches won’t show up and I will be lonely and have to rely on Jehova Witlesses and Mormon Missionaries to keep me company....
SOMEbody had to do SOMEthing and the best something was done.
Democrat senate votes for a government shutdown.
Exactly!
When is the last time they passed a BUDGET?!
I really like your idea using individual CRs to fund everything except socialist medicine. Make the Hairy Reed spit!
“...Start passing the budget piece by piece.
First, fund Social Security.
Then Medicare.
Then Department of Defense...”
-
And then the House bill would go to the senate,
where Reid would hold a vote on cloture, and get it.
Then he would add an amendment to include funding for everything else,
and get his 51 votes to pass the amended bill,
and send it back to the House.
If the House would not accept the amended bill from the senate,
the House would get blamed for not being willing to negotiate,
and therefore shutting down the government.
Just like the senate did with the first continuing resolution,
and now with the second continuing resolution.
The senate mafia can do this over and over again.
Good question! I want to know which republicans voted for the government shutdown along with Harry Reid and other democrats.

If President Obama acted unilaterally to raise debt ceiling, it would not be taken seriously by the world’s financial markets, White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Monday.
Yup Harry boy, when you run the government, what's not to hate.
Nuff said.
On the day you can muster enough votes to overcome 140% Democrat voter turnout, get back to us.
