Maybe our RINO Senator, Murky Murkowski has learned her lesson? Nah! Just kidding, she’s a stupid “centrist”. She won’t learn, ever.

facinating tidbit:
There was a vote today to “unfill” Harry’s amendment tree and Manchin voted for it- which would make it a ‘bipartisan vote’ if the media reported it (which they won’t).
Don’t know what to think of Manchin’s vote, he’s a very faithful Reid minion whenever he can be.

Don’t worry, they will. They make a great show of protesting, then they inevitably give in. It’s a well-established pattern (sham).

I can picture that.
But it seems to me that Bohner is holding out for at least some condition, we just don't know what that will be in the end.

Ideally it should be killed in the Senate esp after Obama praised that ‘key vote’

I’m partial to Jeff Sessions.

and Reid will assert that the fault is all on the Republicans

And it is. The nation was getting fed up with Obama's adolescent closings of national monuments and parks, etc. A majority of the Republican US Senators chose to believe the media and the dems and back down on "shutting down the US government" until the Obamacare mandate was repealed. The "conservative" HOR voted for Boehner as speaker AGAIN. The HOR voted for Ryan's disgusting excuse for a compromise instead of standing firm on the budget.

They say they're doing this to avoid being blamed in the next election cycle. I suspect they're doing this so the HOR conservatives lose their majority....they'd rather have dems in charge than conservatives.

Now Ayotte and her fellow travelers who voted to discuss the extension of unemployment benefits are "outraged" their ammendments aren't being considered. Give me a break!

Cruz/Paul for 2016! They tell it like it is.

I’m finding it interesting that the dems are really not having success ANYWHERE lately.

The GOP is doing a pretty good job of blocking everything.
