Senate Dems to block Homeland Security funding bill again

[Skip8282]

I'm hearing now that they've voted it down.

________________________ ________________________


Washington (CNN)—The Republican-led Senate will vote on Monday -- for the fourth time in as many weeks -- to begin debate on a stalled funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which faces a Friday deadline.

But like the three votes before it, Senate Democrats are expected to block taking up the bill that passed the GOP-controlled House because it contains what they consider poison pills -- provisions that would block President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration.

so let me get this straight -

Repubs won't DEFUND amnesty with the budget (because they don't get paychecks)
BUT
They will leave our nation defenseless by defunding Dept of Homeland security with the amnesty block pills?

Look, I hate amnesty more than the average non-RINO, but if you want to block it, you defund it!  You don't attach it to something like, say, keeping our borders safe.  These same idiots will blame obama when we get attacked thru an opening in defenses they created!

Not sure if you're aware of it but Reagan and Bush 1 did essentially the same thing as Obama

Of course they didn't do it while being a black, secret muslim so maybe that's the difference

Don't you know it's racist to point out racism?

Homeland Security hasn't provided any security to our homeland, anyway. The whole department is a complete waste of taxpayers dollars.

So ofag adopting a terrible gop plan is good?

[Straw Man]

It could just be plain old fashioned hypocrisy (i.e. if Obama is for it then we're against it even if our party and our leaders have been for it in the past)

Please, it's called compromise.  They gave him everything he wanted in that bill, except the funding for his EO.  But, he's got to have it all.  We have seen since Day 1, Obama does not compromise on anything.  All that horseshit about reaching across the aisle was just that.

you mean they gave him everything he wanted that they also wanted

why should he compromise when Congress has done nothing on immigration

he is the POTUS and EO's are part of the job so why not use them when Congress refuses to take any action

I HIGHLY doubt it.

what deflection

I asked you a serious question

how many ofags do you need to write each day

Does your OCD allow require you to spread them out or can you put them all in one post and get it over with

sorry, but there was no compromise.   repubs straight bent over and took it all.  they got the shaft.  they got raped on it.  And borhnner was there to adminster the roofies for obama.

Yea, compromise is the nature of living together.  Not hard to figure out.

And given that 435 ELECTED representatives can't seem to agree, ONE ELECTED representative shouldn't get to decide everything.

Uh no...they didn't, hence the current impasse.

yes, and if they "give" him everything that they also want then they aren't really compromising are they?

makes perfect sense for a mentally ill self loathing closet case to say that

[Skip8282]

No that's just your claim.

Repubs have been fairly united in cutting spending across the board and there seems to be no end to sequestration (which is still in effect).

He's only ever been able to pass significant legislation when Dems had a super majority.

He is completely incapable of compromise.

[Skip8282]

Of course, government not doing anything has actually worked out pretty well for us, lol.

Repubs don't like sequestration either

that was a poison pill gambit that they never intended to actually go through with

Lol.   Poor ofag - needs his little army of drones and pajamaboys to defend him.
