This isn't good for people associated with Harry. As each day goes by, people aren't going to keep apologizing for him.

No, they don't, not in reality, if they really wanted to fund the government they would pass a clean bill and fight ACA on its wn, not holding up the rest of the budget.

This is just something we don't agree on. I see your point, but there's a lot of people who see it differently.
 
Lets see, the Senate passed a clean CR, the President said he would sign a clean CR.

The Republican House refuses to vote on a clean CR.....


How do you think its going to play out. ?

There's been a lot of times that Harry, and Nancy did the same thing.

Maybe Liberty didn't go to the link; here are the details:

Specifically, conservatives are claiming that Reid replied to a reporter's question, "If you can help one child with cancer, why wouldn't you?" by saying "why would we want to do that?" In fact, Reid was responding to Sen. Chuck Schumer, who had interjected, saying "why pit one against the other?"

n response, Reid decried the idea that legislators can "pick and choose" which parts of the government should be funded, reiterating his desire for legislation to fully fund the federal government without strings attached.

After that Bash asked, "if you can help one child who has cancer, why wouldn't you do it?"

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) responded to her question by asking "why pit one against the other?" and Reid chimed in, "why would we want to do that? I have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting home. They have a few problems of their own."

In the conservative Free Beacon's write up of the exchange, Schumer's question has not been included, leaving the false impression that Reid is responding to Bash's question about helping a child with cancer

I think his true heart came out in that statement. That's what pressure can do.

And the repubs have sent over bills to fund these things, and Harry won't look at them. It's not the repubs that are being unreasonable. And as time goes on, the voters are going to see that.

it is odd not to pass some appropriations; the gov't is still shut down.

Might as well fund the NIH -but this is what happens when political hardball overtakes realistic thought.

Everybody hardens their positions, and compromise by anyone is off the table
