Senate Democrats killed the bill, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto it.
That same day, House Republicans voted on H.J. Resolution 59 to keep the government open at current spending levels while protecting our economy by delaying ObamaCare for one year and repealing the tax on medical devices like pacemakers and children's hearing aides.
Senate Democrats killed the bill, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto it, causing the government shutdown.
On September 30, the House GOP again voted to fund the government at current spending levels, while ensuring that Congress doesn't receive special treatment under ObamaCare, and delaying ObamaCare's individual mandate.
Again, Senate Democrats killed the measure in the Senate, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto.
That same night, Republicans in the House voted to request a formal House-Senate conference, so Democrats and Republicans could sit down at the table and negotiate to resolve their differences.
Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats, eager to implement the Dear Leader's shutdown strategy, defeated that resolution, and Dear Leader threatened to veto it.
On October 2, in an effort to help reopen parts of the government while Democrats refused to negotiate, House Republicans passed H.J. Res. 71 by voice vote, which would have restored funding for the government of the District of Columbia.
Senate Democrats blocked the bill, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto it.
That same day, while Democrats refused to come to the table and work out differences, the House GOP voted to restore funding for the nation's parks and museums – including the World War II Memorial in Washington that has been closed to visiting veterans.
Senate Democrats killed the bill, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto it.
Also on October 2, the House GOP tried to help restore funding for vital cancer research and other lifesaving innovations, by voting to reopen the National Institute of Health.
Senate Democrats blocked the bill (see Harry Reid ask a reporter "why would we want to do that?" when asked if he would vote to resume funding for children's cancer treatment), and the Dear Leader threatened to veto it.
The following day, in order to make sure that the Obama/Reid shutdown doesn't get in the way of paying our National Guard and Reserve, the House GOP voted for the Pay Our Guard and Reserve Act. The GOP also voted to provide immediate funding for vital veterans benefits and services during the government shutdown.
Senate Democrats blocked both bills, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto them.
On October 4, the House GOP voted to provide immediate funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to ensure Americans have access to emergency responders in the case of a disaster.
Senate Democrats blocked the bill, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto it.
That same day, the House GOP voted to provide immediate funding for nutritional assistance for nearly 9 million low-income mothers and children.
Senate Democrats blocked the bill, and the Dear Leader threatened to veto it.
Why would Obama, Reid and their malevolent minions refuse to fund these programs? Because they feel that it is politically advantageous for them to do so. The whole purpose of Obama's shutdown theater is to demonize Republicans as a prelude to the 2014 midterm elections. They rely on the obedient stenographers of the Establishment Media to handle the PR campaign for them. If you want to know who is truly responsible for this fiasco, ask yourself this question: "Who benefits?"
