Reid’s definition of “govern” is do exactly as I say or your a terrorist hater racist bigoted traitor.

[doc maverick]

Stupid Harry and Nancy don’t realize that DHS is being run by ISIS.
Screw ‘em.

[bert]

if you take the larger view, it was the Dems in the Senate and then the Dems in the House that stoped funding for DHS

[Maine Mariner]

Well said!

Senate Dems blast Boehner over vote...yes, and that's why they keep winning the PR war - 'rats just voted in the House to kill the temporary extension of funding for DHS, but 'pubs are getting the blame for shutting down the government - when even Charles Krauthammer is taken in and says this is a "disaster for the Republicans" because "they" say the 'pubs are acting irresponsibly, it's clear that conservatives are as usual throwing in the towel instead of hanging together and getting their message out, the way the Dems always do.....

House Republicans need to tell Harry Reid to sit down and shut up!

Anybody notice how balanced the article is? Every quote is from a DemonRat, including, presumably, the writer of the article, Jordain Carney. Like there is no other point of view.

Cordially,

“Now the story is shutdown, not conference with the Senate.”

You forgot to put “” around “shutdown.”

It appears boehner was trying to do obama’s bidding but 50 or so Conservative Republicans and almost all the democrats wouldn’t let him. The Conservatives and democrats want all or nothing it’s just that they disagree on what the all is.

"Speaker Boehner is out of cards to play here—he must put the clean, Senate-passed bill on the floor now or risk a homeland security shutdown," Durbin said in a statement.

I'm confused here.

Are we seeing the difference between a chamber that represents the people at odds with a chamber that represents the states, or a game between a few men in Congress?

or......

In order to keep the House in control, conservatives were designated to vote with the Democrats to kill the bill.

by so doing, the House keeps control of the money. There was no risk in the gambit, it was a sure thing

After the move, the Democrats in both the Senate and the House are responsible for ending the DHS. The government was not shut down, the DHS was ended until a new department can be legislated

[SharpRightTurn]

Thanks for the vote list, Maggie.

You write that as if it wasn’t Boehner’s plan all along; that he was ‘somehow’ hook-winked/duped.

Hasn’t everyone seen enough of the Cryer and the Turtle to know they don’t a flying f* about We the People, let alone our Country?

[Nifster]

Awwww poor wittle Hawwy Weid is all bent out of shape

mt heart bleeds for the pompus little jerk. The senate ought to invoke the nuclear option until the end of O’s term so we can get things passed

[Nuc 1.1]

Well done House Of Reps!

[Nuc 1.1]

Amen!

[Nuc 1.1]

I don’t believe it was an exercise machine. I think some of his activites ran afoul of some of his legally challenged friends. I think he was taught a lesson. Just my opinion.

[Jabba the Nutt]

I refuse to waste my time following the details of the daily Brony Opera in DC. I just want to know, is this a case of the Dem's blasting Boehner because he did the right thing or to give Boehner cover with Republican voters?
