After the Republicans took the House back from the rats in 2010, they passed the budget what the rats didn't pass because their reelection was more important to them than doing the job they were hired to do. The republicans also passed the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 budgets. On the Senate side: Here is the timeline from 2009 to 2012

Timeline

Hawkin’s is right on about the GOPES (GOP Elite Statists) but misses on where the focus should be directed; “It ain’t just Obama” and the so called GOPES opposition who want to run campaigns by the DP democrat (in name only) party rules. Persuing the socialist directon of government the DP sets with the slogan “we can do it better” .

While BHO is the frontman. “It’s also the people what put him there and every card carrying party member supporting it “.The venues they’re using should be confronted, challanged, and exposed by every means available every time they print a word or open their mouth.

One thing about and what you will never hear from any GOPES politician is a frontal attack on any democrat such as;

They don’t believe in God. They threw him out in 2012. BTW That’s why they lie so much.

Think about i: He doesn't have to run again, but they do.

These people are more interested in keeping their jobs than in standing up for any partisan principles.

That would be a complete disaster -- because, right or wrong, the GOP will be remembered in 2016 as the party that could have stopped it but didn't.

I can't think of anything that will do more to keep the Republican base home in 2016 than what you've proposed there.

More and more hospitals are closing their emergency rooms for exactly the reason you’ve laid out there. They are basically becoming outpatient facilities.

Mr. Hawkins NAILED IT!

No doubt, no question, odumbo does suck.

The real problem now confronting us is that so do the two so-called “leaders” in both the house and the senate. Both Bohner and McConnell need to be replaced, if not, nothing changes.

Call your representatives to get those changes made ASAP.

Could we pass the Hire more Heroes Act to give businesses incentives to bring veterans on board?

Per some of the exit polls, it was NOT so much an anti-Obama Tuesday; it was anti-Obama policies and results.

Stuff still is not sticking to him.

The issues that influenced the way people voted:

economy #1 issue
health care #2 issue
illegal immigration #3 issue
foreign policy #4 issue

Obama was not a factor according to 45%

Interesting breakdown at:

This is the Republican Party the country needs now. Enough with the RINOs, who are part of the problem, and not the solution. This country has not been brought to its knees by the Democrats alone. They had plenty of help from the Republican Party. But now, enough is enough. Time to go back to the roots.

That’s the old “you didn’t save me from myself, so it’s you’re responsibility” argument that is made by children in Democrats.

The Republicans can call for a complete repeal of ObamaCare. There will be a vote in the House and Senate. Names will be recorded - who voted for and who voted against. Obama will veto it.

The Republicans can then sit back and watch the SHTF. When the idiots start to cry, the Republicans can point to the Bill and say: “We tried. Vote Republican in 2016, and we will be able to make the pain go away.”

That's not going to happen, because while the sh!t is supposed to be hitting the fan, the Obama administration will be issuing executive orders to delay implementation of the most controversial provisions of Obamacare.

How do I know this? Because this is pretty much exactly what happened in 2013.

The Republicans will get no political traction over this if they let Obama play this game.

I was referring to both houses of congress passing a budget.

You seem to only think in GOP vs. Dem terms.

I don’t. I think in D.C. politicians vs. American citizens terms.

I just want them to do their damned jobs. That would be the best starting point for them.
