Cantor or someone should get a big gavel and carry it around.

It was done to protect the RINOs from having to vote on the CR.
That’s why they’ve been so well behaved LOL!

I wonder how often such a rule was used in the past. Shame the srticle didn’t inform us on that.

I don’t recall hearing them cry when Nancy Pelosi decreed that all freshmen proposed legislation must go through her and then completely shutting down GOP freshmen. They then ran against those freshmen in the next election saying that those republicans didn't’t propose a single piece of legislation.

Yeah...just like Stalin dealt with the Kulaks....

(from a FReepers post earlier today....summarized)

First Stalin denied them seed grains for planting....

Next year demanded the grain production

Sent his goons in to confiscate the non existent "grain hoardings"

....and millions died.

* Please tell me how this is a “deal”, looks like McConnell caved. There is nothing positive in this thing for us..a committee to replace sequestration?? they even removed the medical tax language. What a freakin’ joke!

When that little snarky creep Van Hollen asked why the republicans changed the rules, there were several responses that could have been given.

“Because we can.”

“Remember obamacare? Payback’s a bitch.”

“Shutty!”

Elections have consequences and we won the House so it is our rules. You rats can come along for the ride but you must sit in the back seat!

Not only do the Commie ‘Rats not read the bills, they do not read the rules. Two year olds throwing temper tantrums when they pooped their own panties.

Von Hollen is Mr. WUSS of the House. Another Maryland marxist who will do anything for power. He has no shame, no ideals, no morals, no patriotism.

In other words, he’s the “perfect” Democrat.

Cool.. It’s good to see the House doing what Harry Reid is doing in the Senate.
Funny how the rats don’t like their own medicine.

Kudos to the House leadership for getting something right.

The shutdown is what Obama wanted. His executive department ordered it (See OPM).

To ask why he signed the spending legislation shows you need more education in government and political science.

Another smear — Zero and his fellow Demwits not only caused the shutdown, they’ve been using MORE illegal spending to fund the ILLEGAL banning of citizens from visiting national parks and monuments.
