The House will pass a stopgap continuing resolution funding DHS for 3 weeks and the Senate will go along with that. The purpose is to see what the courts (5th Circuit/SCOTUS) will do on the appeals.

It's going to take a lot longer than three weeks for that to play out.

Just today I read a post from a Freepers saying, “All this because 4,000,000 decided to stay home in 2012.” I can’t imagine anyone but a Party hack still thinking that way.

“Holds the line” is not what we want Boehner to do. We want him “to go wobbly” because Boehner wants amnesty for illegals and wants the Obama to have imperial powers. We want Boehner and the GOP to cave. If he caves, he’ll be caving to conservatives.

Just an inquiry. Are you saying that if Obama LOST in 2012 we would be dealing with this situation right now?

There would be NO Obama EO Amnesty to debate, right?.
Please clarify, thanks.

I’m with you except for one thing. You said, “The recovery of this country will take time...”

I infer that you believe we are in the recovery. I also believe the recovery will take time, but I don’t think it will begin until we fall all the way to the bottom.

Kinda like Nazi Germany, revolutionary France and ancient Rome did, to name just a few. We are in free fall as I type this. And we are gaining speed.

Yes, we would be dealing with this right now. Only, it would probably be done legislatively. It should be clear to everyone by now the Republicans want this. Obama just gives them a ‘good cop’ persona so they can keep get donations.

"He needs an anvil to fall from the sky upon his liberal head. POS traitor"

That applies to a number of GOP squishes. There doesn't seem to be a way to get the GOPe leadership to actually fight Obama. They fight conservatives far more viciously that they ever fight the Democrats and they don't fear the voters, either. We need a new strategy.

No sweat, wish they'd publish it R's/D's instead of the legislative jumble format. A perfect illustration of government efficiency!

In OH, R nay, D yea, no surprise. Wish the 'Tard party would at least vote in lockstep like the dems always do. They're the Washington Generals of politics! Ha!

I have not checked yet but I’m guessing JOhnny voted for it and hopefully Perdue voted agains’t it.

Well looks like Johnny must have put his finger in the wind so he voted agains’t it. He’s up for re-election next year and he knows we are going to try to primary him.

CNN and Democrats screaming “HOW DARE HOUSE REPUBLICANS HOLD UP THIS BILL!!”, right now.

Nowhere is it ever mentioned that it is OBAMA’s refusal to negotiate that is causing this.
