Reid dismissed House Republicans on the Senate floor Saturday, and said negotiations between the House GOP and the White House have stalled. "That's over with. It's done. They're not talking anymore."
Reid is pushing a simple 15-month extension of the debt ceiling, but in a Saturday test vote, Reid's proposal did not get enough votes to bring it to the Senate floor. Reid needed 60 votes to bring the measure to the floor for debate, but only 53 senators voted to proceed.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has been working with senators in both parties on a budget framework that includes a six-month stopgap funding bill through March and a debt ceiling increase through January. The extensions would give Congress breathing room to reach a broader budget agreement.
"I'm trying to give the House a serious option to consider. And that's been one of my goals since their first strategy was clearly a very flawed one. And so I hope that they'll take a look look at this," Collins said.
She added, "What we had was this absolute stalemate where people weren't talking to each other. So my plan is still subject to a lot of negotiations and discussions but at least it's gotten the conversation going."
They didn't yield for crying out loud. Both the House and the Senate were scheduled to talk with Obama.
Cripes, what's with all the lies?
Collins being the old fucking RINO that she is has just come up with a bill to give Obama everything he wants.
What else is new?
As of eleven minutes ago, give or take.
House Republicans yield shutdown talks to Senate

Bless you, Susan Collins.
There should be zero negotiations when it comes to the shutdown or the debt limit. Enough bullshit. Do your job.....then talk. The two things that the GOP is using here ARE NOT THEIRS TO USE. These things are not just wanted by liberals and Democrats. They are needed by the entire nation.
Enough bullshit.

I really don't understand why cons on this board continue to defend House Republicans. You people are just diluting yourselves. When a republican takes a stand against the nut jobs in her party, she is ridiculed.
This board astounds me. It really does.
How can this be "old news" if it just happened Saturday morning, TD?
Following a closed-door House GOP meeting Saturday morning, lawmakers acknowledged a diminished role to resolve the impasse.
They didn't yield for crying out loud. Both the House and the Senate were scheduled to talk with Obama.

Let's understand something here.
The Whole and Entire Shut-Down of The United States Government Was Soley and Purely Brought On By RePugs Who Thought They Could Get President Obama To Defund The Affordable Health Care Act...That Was Never Going To Happen.
It was the RePug Shut-Down that ended the $100,000.00 "Death Benefit" paid to families of of U.S. Military Personnel Killed in Action. RePugs were warned and went ahead with the Shut-Down Anyway.
It was the RePugs Shut-Down that ended payments to Cancer Research and National Institutes for Health. Again the RePugs were warned and went ahead with their vote. The Manufactured Outrage, a day after the story hit about how "30-Innocent Children" were denied life saving Cancer Meds is all on the RePugs. FYI...Under the RePugs Sequestration, over 750-Innocent Men, Women and Children have been denied Cancer meds, not one word about that.
It was the RePug Shut-Down that closed National Parks and Monuments. More RePug Manufactured Outrage over how the WWII Memorial was closed. YOU PEOPLE CLOSED IT!!!!
You People did this, don't bitch about not getting your way, when in fact you did get your way and it turned out to be one gigantic level-5 Shit-Storm for you.

your selectivity is hackism.
the ship sailed decades ago and even as recently as 2006 when obama voted no on a debt ceiling increase in a very close vote as well.

Unlike you, I am able to tell the difference between standard run of the mill politics and retarded tantrum action.
Politicians often live to regret comments they made when the power structure was reversed. Stop pretending that this is unusual.
What leaders have never done before is take this nation's economy by the neck and demand concessions to release it.
Hack? I can be a hack......but I ain't stupid enough to believe the bullshit that you SEEM to. Get some common sense.
thats not common sense, its a lack of intellectual honesty.your selectivity is hackism.

let me translate ; when we do it, I ignore it or its proper politics or its just a regret, (thats so glibly convenient its infantile slobbergobbing)....... ...when others do it, its hostage taking....

He didn't need any translating, so I didn't read past "Let me translate."
