Newsflash to Republicans: You control Congress, you own the shutdown. So Speaker John Boehner can scream all he wants for Democrats to "get off their ass," but the fact that our nation's chief national security agency may shut down in 16 days is on his head.
Boehner has no one to blame but himself. He's the one who let the House GOP's crazy caucus, chaired by Rep. Steve King, lead the charge on attaching anti-immigrant riders that will increase the deficit to the Homeland Security funding bill.
Tuesday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell finally conceded that the Senate absolutely didn't have the 60 votes to pass the House's bill, mostly because they can't find six Democratic senators ridiculously mean-spirited enough to vote for a bill that targets kids who were brought to the U.S. as minors (Dreamers) or leave them parentless by deporting their elders.
Now that Boehner let King run away with his caucus, he can't rein them back in. Boehner's chief lieutenant broke the news to Senate Republicans Wednesday.
they are now back biting the worms are turning they have had their lies exposed so they can't blame Reid or Pres. they are up to bat and the bat is broken so now they point at each other which is probably the most honest thing they've done in 6 years they are collectively and individually responsible for all that has plagued America from Bush's recession to their blockade for 6 years they hinderede but Pres. prevailed and the sun shines once more. this infighting will be must see TV all the way to Nov. 4th 2016, they will not resolve it the only chance they have is to drop the Obama crusade and do their jobs but that too is like trying to push a car up a hill with a wet rope.
