So many republicans know only one way to legislate and govern; crouched down low and by using soft whispers.
Many spend their career paralyzed in dread of the democrats.

If the GOP refuses to go along with demoncraps, it's the GOP's fault.

If the demoncraps refuse to go along with the GOP, it's still the GOP's fault.

Why? Because the GOP is comprised of Gutless Old Poofters. These pukes let the demoncraps walk all over them. Cucks all the way.

“This is all on the Democrats. Everyone knows that.”

Republicans are perennial cowards. They’re more interested in lining their pockets than serving their country.

They're not afraid to stand up for anything here.

They're looking for an excuse to do the wrong thing.

Politicians are spineless. The media will blame Republicans no matter what. The base won’t care what gets said on MSNBC. Shut it down.

Only RINOs and their Common Core ring kissers fear a government shutdown.

Yeah they were blamed in 2013 and guess what, they won huge margins in 2014

They’re nervous for their own careers for fear they will be thrown under the bus by the uniparty when it decides it’s the D’s turn to be on top for a term or two.

It seems to be how it works.

Let the Democrats shut down the government of the US citizens so they can protect illegal aliens from our laws.

Those Republicans really aren’t that stupid, they are complicit.

I don’t recall Republicans ever paying a price because of a government shut down; however, I have seen them pay a price for declining to stand up and fight for the values that they were elected to stand up and fight for.

The Republicans are afraid of everything, except their base. Which is why they could care less what their bases says.

Unless and until these RINOs stare down these bullies it will always be the same.

"If (fill in the blank) wants to prove they are not a racist, then they need to do what way we say." (Or vote the way we say.)

When will they learn that Democrats and their liberal muscle, the corrupt MSM, need to be punched in the nose! As a previous poster noted, Trump has shown the successful path. Use it! Your years, no decades, of cowering in the corner have not proven successful -- at all. Timidity begets timidity. Courage and strength begets courage and strength.

The game is always the same, the Democrats always set the terms of any debate or battle, and then demand that everyone must submit to them in order to prove they are worthy. Nonsense! Democrats are not the moral arbiters and they need to be knocked off their self-assumed perches.

Start with the effing IRS, EPA, and any number of “government” agencies. Most are parasites that hate America anyway.

Exactly why Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will cave and hand Democrats everything they demand. Everything.

Unlike Democrat presidents, Trump will not close the National Mall or any national parks to punish the public. It will be the Democrats shutting down NON ESSENTIAL government spending on behalf of illegal aliens. The Democrats will have some explaining to do.
