Democrats make counterproposal to end the shutdown. Will republican vote to continue to shutdown.?

[EvilCat Breath]

Democrats must give up support of invaders.

 

[Concerned American]

people from all ideologies agree in this board, that not accepting a proposal by the opposing party means you love the shutdown and you don’t care about poor people.

We are about to find out if Republicans really want the shutdown to end, because if they do not agree with Democrats counter proposal, it follows that GOP does not care about the people who are suffering from this shutdown.

This will take time so I will notify you as soon as Republican make a decision on whether they dislike or like to shut down.

Keep twisting, pretzel. The democrats have had a clean CR to keep the gov't running and they've rejected it for 38 days and counting. The time for negotiating is after the gov't is open---not while you're holding the populace hostage. SHUMER SHUTDOWN.

Counting your chickens?

Your post said “with hopes of taking the house”. No predictions from me. I just agree they have high hopes after the recent results.

Why does the ACA, aka Øbamacare, you know, the law that would save families $2500, etc., etc., need subsidies?

It is a GIANT FAILURE, as many of us predicted it would be.

The Halfricans 'legacy' is a disaster. Time to repeal it, not keep robbing taxpayers to prop it up for a select number.

 

[schmidlap]

Dismal showing in predominately democrat states?

I'd say "dismal", but others call it a "disaster":

Ted Cruz calls election results a 'disaster' for Republicans​

If they don't, they are incredibly inept, because the midterms always favor the minority party. Naturally, the first and only thing they will do is repeatedly impeach the president, hoping to have JD run as the incumbent with national experience in '28.

 

[mudwhistle]

I think this is the first time the democrats have been transparent with their intent.

This is my point. We were told how wonderful obamadon'tcare was before Covid, but now apparently doing away with the Covid emergency funding and going back to where it was wonderful would be a disaster.

Wait, what?

So if the Republicans put forth a bill funding everything the Democrats want but also put in the bill that we drop a nuclear bomb on Chile and the Dems vote against it they hate poor people?

The Trump 2017-2018 gutted major parts of Obamacare which Biden restored-ish with the subsidies. Democrats would be glad to go back to the original Obamacare. Can you get the GOP to agree to it genius plan maker?

 

[schmidlap]

Trump ran three times, he never won NY, NJ, or VA, 0-9.

All six Senators from those three states are Democrats. They are Blue States.

I enjoy hearing Repubs make excuses.

Trump said Democratic wins in a slew of key races weren’t good for Republicans.

Fox News’ Bret Baier joined Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning to break down just how bad Tuesday night’s election results really were for Republicans.​

Baier argued that though Republicans lost in “traditionally blue” states like Ne York, there are still indicators of larger struggles the party is having with voters. Democrats chalked up major wins on Tuesday in New York City’s mayoral race, as well as gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. Baier argued that the economy and ICE deportation efforts are driving young people away from the GOP.​

 

[Rawley]

Status quo was the pitch by the GOP. “Clean” they said. In this case, it is a clean offer. Status quo.

Nope. It changes the law. Try again.

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

Will republican vote to continue to shutdown.?​

Repubs have voted 14 times to end the shutdown. Your cult has voted 14 times to continue the shutdown.

Anything else I can clear up for you?

perfect. Since Republican voted to end the shutdown, there’s nothing to worry about as they will do it again. Unless they only want the other party to be the one to accept what the opponent wants.

Repubs already voted to end the shutdown

Its democrats that voted no

But is there a limit? Why can’t they vote to end the shut down again? Is it because they were not really trying to end the shutdown but just trying to make Democrats accept everything Republicans want?

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

By your logic, yes, because when you talked about Democrats not accepting previous CR, you have never ever mentioned any details in it, and whether Democrats agree with him.

So details must not be taken into consideration by your logic. Be consistent.

Why didn't democrats under Biden restore the original Obamacare?

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

Why didn't democrats under Biden restore the original Obamacare?

Democrats only had a razor-thin majority and two centrist Democrats (Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema) refused to change the filibuster or back some of the larger packages that would’ve carried broad ACA changes.

Spinning the past is futile.

Republicans threaten to deprive millions of healthcare coverage.

That is unpopular.

Democrats up 8 points on generic ballot​

Yeah, and the fledgling US kicked the Brits out in 1776. Relevance? WTF are the democrats holding the American populace hostage by not passing a clean CR that they helped craft and passed previously?

I noticed if I read it right, that the illegals are still covered.

It doesn’t matter. It is the position of you and all conservatives here that Democrats should accept CR split forth by Republicans even if it results in premium hikes for Obamacare.

So it only matters is Republicans accept or not accept the Democratic counter proposal regardless of the details because detail details don’t matter.

Democrats introduced and voted for that sunset clause. Put the blame where it belongs democrat from GA.

So it only matters is Republicans accept or not accept the Democratic counter proposal regardless of the details because detail details don’t matter.

Democrats crafted and voted for this CR in the spring--what's changed? Oh yeah, the democrat sunset clause for ACA is coming due. Try again.
