Sen. Mitch McConnell made a clear statement Thursday: There will be no government shutdown. The Kentucky Republican, who will take over as majority leader in January, renewed his vow not to shut down the federal government as conservatives in his party called for fighting the president’s immigration proposals through spending legislation.
Some Republicans in Congress are arguing that if President Barack Obama moves forward with his promise to sign executive orders addressing immigration, the GOP should attach language to spending bills that would undo the actions. Congress must pass a spending bill by Dec. 11 to prevent another government shutdown.
“We will not be shutting the government down or threatening to default on the federal debt,” McConnell said Thursday at a press conference when asked about Republican calls for attaching extra provisions to the spending bill.
What will Republicans in Congress do if Obama moves forward? “We’ll let you know,” McConnell replied.

But thank goodness “we won the Senate” because “it’s better than Reid”!
HA!
He caved before the fight has even begun...
The FIX is in.
The EXEMPT GOP has determined
there will be NO changes.
The EXEMPT GOP imposed RomneyCARE for Obola,
and backed his imposing Ebola and EV-68.
The EXEMPT GOP has LEARNED NOTHING.
Dammit, I dislike these worthless cretins as much as I despise Pelosi, Reid and Obama.
You expected different?
With this cowardly surrender monkey attitude Obama/Reid/Pelosi et al will eat their lunch even when they’re in the minority.
Really? Of the expend that big of a tool for the first thing that comes up, what’s next?
It’s just like 1994 and 2010...we (conservatives) give them power and before they can even take the oath of office they are waving the white flags and running away.
By all means, limit your options little hen.
Right? My thoughts exactly. I'm beginning to think that Gruber was actually referring to GOP voters. Lol.
Pussay ...
Whenever they are asked about these things, they keep showing their cards.
==
McConnell!!!
Boehner!!!
STFU about what you ARE and ARE NOT going to do!!!!

Now, if they do try any of those tactics, the media are going to beat them over their heads.

HOW DUMB CAN THE PUBBIE LEADERSHIP BE?
Team Mitch is nothing more than a pansy patrol who is lifeless and inane.
Exactly!
And that’s why many of us don’t jump up and down and celebrate when we get the majority, like we used to.
Does Kentucky have recall election law such as the one they have in California? McConnell would of done us all a favor by losing to Grimes. He’s not standing up to the president and we all know it. These are drastic times and they call for a headlong assault on the Democratic Party and General McCoward is already planning the GOP retreat.
Translation: “I love you, Obama! Now, give me my share of the pork!”
IT
DOWN.
Ted was/is right.
Nice picture of these two advocates of UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT.
You forgot 2000-2006, when there was an R majority in the House, Senate AND White House. We got the "Patriot" Act...yeah, let's all vote R!!!!
