Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Senators Shut Down The Federal Government

\\

DRUDGE REPORT: SHUTDOWN 2018

Schumer and the Dems care more about illegal aliens than American Citizens.

For those who note that Senate could pass government funding bill without subjecting it to 60-vote standard, if it chose. Yes, it could. Sen. McConnell asked to take up bill without 60-vote threshold. Sen. Schumer objected.

Harry Reid and Barack Obama shut down the government...

Blame Reid and Obama:  They Did It

Obama refuses to even talk: It is all on him...
Obama and the Democrats in the Senate want this...
What Obamacare and the Debit Limit have in common...
The shutdown demonstrates how much waste there is in government...

Update:
TOM: Fear and Loathing in the Moocher Nation: Beware the low information voter...
TOM: Gabe Malor not winning any popularity contests over at AoSHQ...
Obamacare quadruples costs for some, rewards those who quit working...
Democrats and Obama declare war on WWII Veterans...

Harry Reid to the American People: Shut It Down!

Democrats take Sunday off and signal they want a government shut down...

Harry Reid responds to the American People...

Republicans try to keep the lights on...  Democrats want a shut down.

Update:

Harry Reid to America:  See photograph image above...

Harry Reid and the Democrats respond on keeping the government operating: Shut It Down!

House GOP leaders surprised me by actually showing some backbone...

“The American people don’t want a government shut down and they don’t want ObamaCare. That’s why later today, the House will vote on two amendments to the Senate-passed continuing resolution that will keep the government open and stop as much of the president’s health care law as possible.

“The first amendment delays the president’s health care law by one year. And the second permanently repeals ObamaCare’s medical device tax that is sending jobs overseas.

“Both of these amendments will change the date of the Senate CR to December 15th. We will also vote on a measure that ensures our troops get paid, no matter what.

“We will do our job and send this bill over, and then it’s up to the Senate to pass it and stop a government shutdown.”

Obama and Reid do not care, they would rather shut the government down!

Update:

TOM is right, Harry Reid and the Democrats do not want you focusing on the real problem, their chronic over spending...

Maybe if the Republican Party would change its name to "Iran," Obama would be willing to negotiate with them.

If Congress voted to raise the debt ceiling by ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS, that wouldn't even last until Christmas.
