McConnell warns GOP senators not to join Democrats in opposition to spending bill
by Melissa Quinn | Jan 18, 2018, 1:07 PM

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urged his fellow Republicans not to oppose a short-term government spending bill and called the Democrats' opposition to the legislation an "irresponsible position."

McConnell, R-Ky., issued the warning to his GOP colleagues in a letter sent Thursday, which was obtained by The Daily Beast. The majority leader asked Republicans to “stick together.”

“We should all plan to stay through this weekend if Senate Democrats follow through and are willing to shut down the government and the Children’s Health Insurance Program because they have yet to conclude a deal on [the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program],” McConnell said in the letter. “This is an irresponsible position to take as everything from pay for our military to processing Social Security checks will be affected. I hope not a single Republican is inclined to join them.”

McConnell warns GOP senators not to join Democrats in opposition to spending bill

Funny that when McConnell has joined Democrats in opposition to just about everything that would have defunded, repealed and made moot, Obama and the Democrat agenda that he funded and supported.

Shut the damn thing down.

Government works best then those a-holes are not meeting each day to find new ways to steal our liberty and our wealth.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
