For the last few weeks, there has been a constant drumbeat in the media and from Democrat politicians about how the House Republicans had gone crazy. The GOP was going to vote to fund the entire government except for Obamacare; it was described as an insane act that would shut down the government. This hyperbole was repeated over and over, sometime in a rather nasty way. Of course, at the same time, Harry Reid announced that the Senate would not do anything about funding the government unless the House acted first. The supposed funding "crisis" was not enough to get the Democrat senators off their backsides to actually do something. Apparently, it was too much effort to pass a continuing resolution. My God! They actually would have had to vote!
Well now the senators don't have that excuse any longer. Funding the government is totally up to them. They will have to decide whether or not to vote to fund Obamacare or not. It is almost certain that the senators will approve that funding, but no one will be standing around questioning their sanity as a result. Should the media tell the senators that such a funding measure will be dead on arrival in the House? Should the media tell the Democrats that their action is futile? Should the media tell Harry Reid that he is leading his caucus towards shutting down the government?
The truth is that all of those issues would have just as much meaning directed at senate Democrats as at House Republicans, but the liberal media will never see it that way.
America will surely have its government funded. Sadly, however, the chance of running a rational and civilized government are not too good.
