Good Political Plan. The shutdown of Homeland Security (post March deadline) will hardly be noticed, and focus the issue of illegals.

I’m am telling you this. This quivering fear will ruin the party. I will walk away. Millions will walk away. If we don’t fight after we won a land slide after a shut down And we said we would fight “tooth and nail” — we are pussys. I hate these republicans— I hate them.

uh. no.

so...with appologies to Willy and Eddie.

I’mmm...

No, this is a bad idea: Why hamper the next congress with Govt. Revenue until next September. Why not just PASS A SHORT TERM CR, then fight it out next year with an enlarged majority??

The should have included the EPA and Obamacare along with the HS budget.

The CR needs to only extend as far as the new senate republicans are seated and have input. Remember, the Dems lose control of the senate when the new Republicans are seated in January. Why put up a spending bill for *ANYTHING* beyond early spring?

Bad plan. The serial-capitulation-crew (GOP) is going to allow the senate Dems to meddle with the vast majority of Govt Spending clear through to Sept. Why give the dems any input on spending over the first 9 months of the new GOP controlled senate? Why not just allow them input until the senate majority control changes hands?

SPINELESS GOP IDIOTS!! I will do what I can to help them fight, but they have to show willingness to fight too. It is WAAAAY passed time to start playing hardball. These weak-kneed bastards are "throwing in the towel(s)" BEFORE THEY EVEN GET STARTED!! And we are expected to support them?! Seriously?!

The GOP needs to go or be gutted and refurbished from top to bottom. How do we do that?

What I don’t understand is why the republicans keep accepting blame for any government shutdown.
