McConnell Sticks To Vow About No Government Shutdown As Deadline Nears For Debt Ceiling March 08, 2015FoxNews.com
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that the Republican-controlled Congress won’t shut down the federal government or allow it to default as the Treasury Department quickly approaches its so-called “debt ceiling.”
“I made it clear after November that we won’t shut down the government or default on debt,” the Kentucky Republican told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Crats or Rats, what`s the difference?
SO then his only remaining strategy is to try to get the democrats to AGREE to vote his way. The Budget is his only weapon. The Jackass,,
Can someone remind me again why it matters a whit that the GOP won in November?
A poker player in a trillion dollar poker game would be considered the penultimate moron, retard loser for just laying his cards on the table face up on each hand.
The sheer stupidity of this makes you want to cry!
This means shuting down the GOPee in 2016. Mitch, your chickens will come home to roost.
Thanks to Turtle, there is a no better time for Obama to end private ownership.
“Sticks to vow”?
Or, “cowers behind prior surrender”?
Mitch is simply an enemy sympathizer.
There is no excuse for this behavior.
A “Leader” would take on the enemy and their accomplices in the media.
Mitch and Boehner have become evry bit the enemies of America that Obama is.
“What is your major malfunction, numb-nuts???”
May have just sent a few more posts your way!
This is what the GOP standing up looks like. They’re standing for what they believe, against you.
We have to ignore the people who say, “vote conservative in the primary and Republican in the general.” The GOP has to die if we’re going to get a party who represents us. That should have happened a long time ago.
The GOP won huge after the last shutdown and they surrender to Obama in spite of that.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Since McConnell is a senator, as you read the following material please keep in mind that citizens probably wouldn’t have an unconstitutionally big federal government on their backs if state lawmakers hadn’t ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, foolishly giving up the voices of the state legislatures in Congress.
RINO McConnell is wrongly ignoring the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, including the Supreme Court’s historic clarification of Congress limited power to lay taxes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
More specifically, since one of the very few domestic federal government services that the states have delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for is the US Mail Service (1.8.7), McConnell is wrongly ignoring that most other domestic federal government services that he is evidently trying to protect are unconstitutional.
Regarding McConnell and the federal budget, please consider the following. Given that the plurality of clauses in the federal government’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers deal with military issues, and also given that the Department of Defense (DoD) budget for 2014 was $500+ billion, I will generously round the DoD budget to $1 trilliion as a rough estimate (probably much less) as to how much taxpayers should be paying to Congress annually in order for Congress to perform its Section 8-limited power duties.
In other words, we should not be seeing the multi-trillion annual federal government budgets that the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx News, are reporting without mentioning the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to lay taxes.
Don’t forget that the 17th Amendment has to go. And until the voters get a grip on the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, the repeal amendment needs to have provisions giving the voters the power to recall bad-apple representatives, likewise for state lawmakers to recall corrupt senators.
So afraid of being blamed by the media. What the turtle and the lush don’t realize is that Republicans are going to get blamed by the media whenever and wherever possible.
Like a kid who seeks to bribe the bully out of doing bullying, the Republican leadership is still gonna get a swirlie from the MSM. Without the pre-swirlie courtesy flush.
Quick! Surrender while there is still time!
Too many are too ignorant of historical facts and reality and/or they are infected with a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.
You cannot stop tyranny via civil means.
Period.
He keeps getting elected. He will be the in the senate as long as he wants and all his friends and relatives will have nice jobs as lobbyists. In what way is he stupid?
Oh, you think he wants to get something conservative done? That’s just what he tells his electorate, and they keep voting for him. So who’s stupid?
