You are leaving out the fact the defunding effort was not because they disagreed with the budget, but to reign in a President who has gone rogue, thumbing his nose at the Constitution, and usurping power he doesnt have. Do you really think if a Republican president starting exceeding his constitutional authority as commander-in-chief the Democrats wouldnt try to stop him by denying funding? I believe the Republicans would join them readily. If I remember right, the Democrats did try, or at least call for defunding the Iraq war.Remember Iran-Contra, where Reagan sold weapons to Iran to fund the contra effort against the Sandinistas? Remember James Watt, whom Reagan appointed to prevent the EPA from carrying out its mandate? The Democrats were equally furious about what they saw as executive usurpation of Congressional authority. And yet the first time anyone's ever heard of a government shutdown via congressional gridlock was under the GOP.

"What difference does it make?, "How many Republicans were in Congress when Obamacare was passed?
Would you like to see what 300 democrats in the House would do?

How many Republicans were in Congress when amnesty was funded? Which do you think is going to have the longest lasting negative effect on this country?

A heavily democrat Congress would have also “funded amnesty” and then done dozens of other horrible things.
The worst pieces of legislation in history were passed in the 30’s when Republicans were at their lowest point. And the democrats of today make **cksu**ers like FDR look like patriots in comparison.

You are whistling past the graveyard if you believe the liberal Republican party is going to change or allow any change in direction other than left, it’s not happening.
The question is when or if a chunk of the conservatives in the Republican party stand up and say we are done and openly revolt and meet to institute a new party. There isn’t time without damage to the country but as we have seen this week even with Republicans “in control” the damage continues at a quickening pace.
Frankly the only way I see this lurch to communism ending is for an American Cromwell.

From the votes total yesterday on amnesty it would seem we do have 300 or so democrats in the house...
But if you like the kicks in the sack time and time again by the wonderful Republicans that is your prerogative, enjoy.

The point is, letting the democrats win makes things worse, that’s a fact.

I think, in part, we can see in them the normal behavior of victims of bullying everywhere. Bullies convince their victims that they really deserve every abuse the bully heaps on them. This then leads to Stockholm syndrome, where the victims sympathize with their abusers.I think this aptly characterizes the Kool-Aid-drinking conservatives who keep voting for a party that spits in their face.

I've sent cordial, respectful yet pointed emails to Sen Marco Rubio and my total dirtbag Sen Bill Nelson.
No responses from either.
I'm through condoning tyranny.
Our once republic is in a bad place and it will only get worse.

The cure to America's sickness will not be found via political parties.

We hear at every election, “Vote for ME, I’ll fight for....yada, yada, yada........”.
The ONLY, repeat ONLY reason those bastards want to get voted in is to collect their highly inflated gubmint “welfare” checks. They don’t give a tinkers damn about you or me, nor the millions like us who voted them in. They are nothing more than over paid “gimmedats” wearing suits. They NEED TO BE REPLACED. It looks like its getting close for that revolution to start we’ve been hearing about, pray that it doesn’t come to that.

the only thing worth voting for are selected people who happen to be in the GOP. In my case, it is Louie Gohmert and Ted CruzAnd mine is a dung beetle in the backyard who promised to the get things fixed in my grandchildren's lifetime.

Too bad they have stopped the punishment of being drawn and quatered for traitors. That punishment was designed for evil traitors like Boehner and McConnell.
