Mitch McConnell goes into fetal position. Harry Reid is the new leader of the Senate.

Sad and disappointing but not a surprise. Sen. Mitch McConnell has showed himself to be the gutless wimp that we’ve all known he is. He has given the Democrats exactly what they have been demanding. In other words, Sen. Mitch McConnell, as majority leader, has shown the same feckless, flaccidity that he showed while minority leader. What he’s done is pass the buck back to the House:

This is a shame. The issue is not only important but it is an easy win. It is the Democrats and the White House that need DHS funded. The GOP doesn’t. Something like 83% of that agency will remain on the job as they are “essential” employees. Not that it matters. Enforcing immigration and naturalization policy isn’t what the are about. They are more busy writing reports on the scourge of “sovereign citizen extremists” than actually doing something useful.

Now the action moves back to the House. Speaker Boehner should stick to his guns and takes as his motto General Grant’s statement during the Overland Campaign: “I propose to fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer.”

He’s going to wait until the last minute, change the filibuster rule, pass the DHS funding bill the way we want it, then change the rule back.

McConnell needs to be punished.

He cannot be allowed to pull this crap over and over and expect to politically survive intact.

Where's everyone who assured us that "once we win the Senate" we'll see a return to sanity? "Just PLLLEEEASSSE go vote R - you'll see, this time it will matter!"

Screw the GOP, McTurtle, and anyone who dares trot out that same old stinkin' CRAP next election!
