If they don't get budgets passed, they'll be vilified as obstructionists. If they do pass an omnibus bill, they'll be labeled hypocrites.

Since the MSM and Dems will beat you up in either case, hold the line and do what's best for the nation, not your image inside the beltway.

John Batchelor had on David Drucker from the same newspaper on last night and he said since there would be “no tax increases in this Congress” therefore the automatic cuts would go in. I am not sure what the point of this article is, other than to spread propaganda.

Who didn’t see this coming. They can now thank Boehner and McConnell for putting them in this situation after they had the Rats by the short ones last time.

Just pass a CR every month but make sure 10% is knocked out of each CR.

The congress hasn't passed a budget in 2 years. Kind of the media so suddenly notice after all this time. Of course, now that the Obamedia has focused like a collectivist lazer beam on congress' inability to pass a budget, we can expect fair, BALANCED information about it. Pardon me while I gag.

>> The prospect of signing off on a bill that could exceed 1,000 pages and appropriate about $1 trillion in federal spending is a sore subject for Republicans, particularly the freshmen who pledged not to vote for legislation too bulky even to read.

Then DON’T DO IT.

How hard is that to figure out?

Worthless gutless brainless jackwagons, the lot of ‘em.

Frustrated House Republicans are grappling with the possibility that they will be forced to swallow the kind of massive spending package many of them campaigned against when Democrats were in power.

They need not worry.

These wimpy RINOs will not be "forced" to do ANYTHING else -- after we replace them, in the next election cycle.

If we keep replacing those who lose their spine upon arriving inside the Beltway, EVENTUALLY the ones who wish to remain will get the message.

If they vote “no” how is that “being forced” to accept it.

Keep up the pressure TP Critters!

While the house was under democrat rule, no budgets were passed. Only passed massive spending bills. Didn’t pass any new taxes to cover the new spending either.

This was a set up.

First off, the house needs to get an accurate accounting of where we are. They have been passing continuing resolutions for years. Does any of them know how much is being spent vs. how much is coming in?

Get a base line and go from there and don’t play their game.

Simple message to Congress: “Increase spending and lose your job.”

The House GOP has so bumbled this year’s agenda. We have gotten nothing substantive in cuts. Nothing. This is with the political winds at our back. They frame the discussion with the public in a way that there is no public push for anything specific. Just a standoff with both sides arguing over pennies. Disappointing.
