Good! The House is not a rubber stamp of the oligarchic senate!

Good, with a little (or a lot) of luck, each of these GOP quislings will have their heads explode on camera.

The author is a flat out democrat and does a bad job hiding it in his writing.

Even before I read the article, I knew it would feature the usual suspects—Linda, McStupid and the flake.

GOP senators say it’s time to move on to other issues, such as the budget, trade legislation, and regulatory and tax reform

What happened to all those campaign promises to fight Obama's unconstitutional actions and defying the Rule of Law? Didn't these senators take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution? Why should any Rep support funding an unconstitutional act?

:: a move that they say uses up political oxygen and burns precious time on the legislative calendar. ::

Because, you see, the concern is not how to govern correctly but rather, how to save our phony-bologna jobs (AKA: paychecks as approved by the electorate every 2 years).

Political oxygen? Give me a fricking break! The way they been acting, I'm more for them using up ALL the oxygen in their gallery, actually. Mostly a bunch of featherbedding old coots who never really worked a day in their lives. Scheming lying basterds.

All McConnell had to do was nuke the filibuster and send the House bill to Obola and let him veto it.

They won in 2014 to stop Obama's agenda.

worry that voters could soon start to question their ability to govern unless they can move forward with a more substantive agenda

The "ability to govern" doesn't just mean pass more laws, you dimwits.

All of Washington could go on vacation for a year and the country would be a better place.

"Government that governs least, governs best" - ya ever heard that one??

They must defend 24 seats in the 2016 election and worry that voters could soon start to question their ability to govern unless they can move forward with a more substantive agenda.

Stopping Obama IS a substantive agenda.

I see the senate’s point, but if you can’t even make a stand when the constitution is being violated, when can you? If the Congress lets executive amnesty slip through the cracks, then the damn will be broken and all laws....anything the President wants to do....will be done through Executive Action with the Precedent having been established. I don’t give a crap if the GOP loses the house, the Senate, and the Presidency, I want our laws to be followed....PERIOD!!!!

Here is what I think will happen. We have to look at what the supporters are saying. They know that by passing the bill they are passing Amnesty. The Obama administration will take this to court this week and argue that the house and the Senate passed funding of Amnesty and thus allowed this to become Law.

Why do you people think that they want to go before the circus after the bill is passed? They could not go before a judge before this passed as the courts would laugh at them.
Them the Uni-party that is in charge(LMAO) can say that they were tricked again into passing this.
Funny how soon people forget.

Is not “senator” Latin for “worthless, corrupt POS deserving the guillotine”?

Come on, you know it fits.

Why not treat these vermin as such?

Maybe I missed something. I thought spending bills originated in the House. Once passed out of the house the bill goes to the Senate. The Senate then considers the House bill and, if differences arise, the House and Senate form a conference committee to iron out the differences. The compromise bill is then voted on by the House and the Senate. Upon passage by the House and Senate the bill is sent to the president for approval or veto. Am I wrong about how this process is supposed to work?
