Sad and disappointing but not a surprise. Sen. Mitch McConnell has showed himself to be the gutless wimp that weve all known he is. He has given the Democrats exactly what they have been demanding. In other words, Sen. Mitch McConnell, as majority leader, has shown the same feckless, flaccidity that he showed while minority leader. What hes done is pass the buck back to the House:
This is a shame. The issue is not only important but it is an easy win. It is the Democrats and the White House that need DHS funded. The GOP doesnt. Something like 83% of that agency will remain on the job as they are essential employees. Not that it matters. Enforcing immigration and naturalization policy isnt what the are about. They are more busy writing reports on the scourge of sovereign citizen extremists than actually doing something useful.
Now the action moves back to the House. Speaker Boehner should stick to his guns and takes as his motto General Grants statement during the Overland Campaign: I propose to fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer.

And a fool for the Chamber of Farce.
Is there any here who are really surprised other than the morons who wouldn’t listen back during the election?
Surrender to the Minority. Surrender to the FCC for Gawd sakes. Next they will surrender to the Capital Hill maintenance crew.
Gives screwing the pooch a new meaning....
Anyone else notice all the “we have to take the Senate” RINO loving FReepers aren’t around much these days to lecture us?
They are too cowardly to come back into the forum after lecturing us for weeks before November.
Please describe a possible turn of events that will show McConnell to be a tactical genius...

This kind of crap wasn’t effective for either of the last two crappy candidates and it won’t be effective for Jeb.
We are not voting for any more cheap labor importers.
The Chamber of Cheap Labor can buy them some illegal alien votes.
That’s up to KY voters, not us. He survived last time because they chose him. Bevin would’ve been my choice. I’ll confess that I’m still bitter about that race.
“The less you expect from the Republicans in Washington, the less you will be disappointed.”
I expect republicans to lose the republic in a very short amount of time. I will be more than mildly surprised if we keep it intact. If that occurs, it will be done without republicans.

Hey. If it comes down this, it won’t make any difference who is elected. The republic will then be completely overthrown.
It will be time to start over.
Not to worry, terycarl is warming up for the next election.
Your GOPe masters are caving and surrendering. Give it a rest.
All I have to remember when it comes to Rick Perry is that he hired haley barbour’s nephew and hatchet man henry barbour.
Mitch McConnell is a democrat. The democrats never lost the leadership.
That didn’t take long.
