Boehner and McConnell have got to go.

"The power of the purse is the single strongest Constitutional mechanism Republicans have for stopping Obama’s lawless agenda. With the hours dwindling before a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, Boehner attempted to gave and give Obama a “clean” bill funding bill that would have funded his scheme to grant amnesty and welfare benefits to illegal aliens.

Boehner tried to pass a three-week funding bill to buy himself more time, but the bill was defeated.

As usual, Nancy Pelosi had the Democrats voting as a block to prevent Boehner from getting the necessary votes. 52 brave Republicans stood firm and refused to fund amnesty, even for only three weeks.

John Boehner has proven time and time again that he is unqualified to lead his caucus. Prior to last year’s midterm elections, Boehner would might have been able to strong-arm enough Republicans into capitulating to Obama’s demands, but there are now enough principled Conservatives in the House to show that they are a force to be reckoned with.

The solution to this problem is very simple: Continue to pass funding bills that deny Obama the ability to violate the Constitution. Let Obama be the one that shuts things down. Forget about the press. Forget about all the nasty things Obama and the Democrats will say about you. Do the right thing, and stick to it."

Update: "WASHINGTON — Bordering on dysfunction, Congress passed a one-week bill late Friday night to avert a partial shutdown of the Homeland Security Department, as leaders in both political parties quelled a revolt by House conservatives furious that the measure left President Barack Obama's immigration policy intact.

The final vote of a long day and night was a bipartisan 357-60 in the House, a little more than an hour after the Senate cleared the measure without so much as a roll call."

They shouldn't have given Obama anything. Most of the Homeland Security personnel are classified as "essential" and will be on the job. 60 Congressmen stood up for what is right and Boehner is an a$$hole.

Now Boner has another week to figure out how to cave.
