Let’s Be Clear, Republicans Would NEVER Get Away With A Shutdown Like This
I & I Editorial Board
October 30, 2025


Last November, voters handed control of Congress to Republicans who pledged to cut taxes and spending. In response, Democrats decided to hold the country hostage because they want to borrow and spend $1.5 trillion on illegal immigrants and well-to-do Obamacare enrollees.

That is the simplest and most honest way to describe what has been going on since Oct. 1. But you’d hardly know it, given the way the shutdown is talked about.

The Senate has had a chance 13 times to vote on a “continuing resolution” that would keep the government operating while lawmakers debate future spending bills, including the Democrats’ wish list.

And 13 times, Senate Democrats filibustered the bill because they don’t want a debate. They want a concession.

Yet time after time, Democrats are allowed to go on news programs and spout nonsense about how this is the Republicans’ fault.

Well, try to imagine Republicans doing the same.

I say keep putting up clean spending bills for votes in the US Senate.

Make them vote to keep the Government closed every day, dominate the political news cycle.

Make the Dems explain to the public what they object to in the clean spending bills and explain why its objectionable.

I don't think they want the public to know what they are really fighting for, and would prefer to make a back alley deal in a back smoke filled room.

This is Schumer's Shutdown.  Make him answer for it every day and every newscycle.  Keep him on defense.  Keep him on the ropes.  Keep kicking him while he is down so he doesn't have a chance to get back up.

Encourage conservative media to use big bold letters to advertise it as "Schumer's Shutdown" instead of 'Government Shutdown'.  Pin the shutdown to Schumer like pinning a tail on a jack ass.  Make him sweat.
