The dems, pass the bill, government continues to operate. Block it and government shuts down.

Haha, awesome. You've now done a 180, which is precisely what you complained about other people doing.

The position of the democrats has always been "fund it without extraneous conditions".

In the past when the Republicans were filibustering you said that if the Democrats wanted to keep the government open they should change things so that the republicans would stop filibustering. Now you're saying the opposite: that the Republicans should keep things the same and the Democrats should stop filibustering.

Amazing lack of self awareness.

OP, is it at all surprising that the propaganda arm of the democrat party (ie, the main stream media) would blame the gop no matter what? It's pretty much expected.

If the GOP puts a poison pill in legislation which the GOP knows for sure will not be accepted by Democrats, why on Earth should the GOP NOT get the blame?

But why would you conclude from this "teachable moment" that the GOP would be blamed "no matter what?"

Wow. PG. The OP lowered the bar pretty far with this OP yet you somehow managed to fit under it. I thought you were a little more self aware and genuine than this...

How can anyone buy it, when the media always paints the republicans as a bad guy?

Thanks for helping prove my point.

No matter what the republicans do, they lose.

Republicans filibuster a spending bill = BAD.

Democrats filibuster a spending bill = Republicans BAD.

Whats sad is that you have been trapped inside the right wing reality bubble for so long that you really are perplexed that most Americans see right through this BS.
