GOP: We're doing everything we can to entice Obama and Dems into negotiating, but we get no response

“We’re trying everything we know how to do to entice them to negotiating, talking this thing through and solving the problem, but we get no response,” Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) told POLITICO, referring to Democrats and Obama.

1. They had 6 months to negotiate, but Boner refused.

16. Boehner made his bed with the Tea party; now he can lie in it. Reap what you sow. nt

2. Hmmm...how does it feel Republicans?

The Democrats have only been trying to get you to negotiate with them for a year, but man, I really feel sorry for you for having to put up with this for a week. NOT!

Crybaby-thy name is Republican.

6. The bill the Senate passed was negotiated months ago

Boner said he could pass the bill with Paul Ryan numbers and nothing about ObamaCare, and then he changed his mind. The Senate wanted a budget figure 80 billion higher than they passed because of their negotiations. I think the dems have finally learned that if you agree to something they want, they will just say "not good enough" and not vote for it. That is why the ACA passed with no R votes.

7. They haven't thought of ending the shutdown? Because that's what Obama offered. n/t

8. Wait

so he can't get Democrats or the President to sit down and discuss solutions to a problem that he created and could fix with a simple vote? The horror, the horror.

14. There is absolutely no reason why this should not be pound them into the ground campaign fodder.

How many Democrats running for Congress in the midterms and in 2016 will not use this? Or will only mention this shutdown and the Republicans roll in the shutdown, in passing?
All during then next two elections periods, every bill board in the country should be reminding everyone how the Republicans have been trying to destroy this country for decades.

9. The GOP is not interested in negotiating

They have plenty of opportunity to do so

[Cha]

[gopiscrap]

11. Bullshit-lying fucker!

[hrmjustin]

12. Them maybe the GOP should give up and fund the government.

[mindwalker_i]

13. "We're doing everything we can to get them to give in to our demands"

And blow us afterwards.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. NO negotiation with people using Extortion to get what Constitutional means didn't give them. nt

[DisgustipatedinCA]

17. First time in forever I've agreed with the entirety of your OP. Recommended.

And to the GOP: get used to it, and prepare your back-to-the-corner unconditional surrender. And lunch money too. We want your damned lunch money, Boehner.

[texanwitch]

18. Did they say pretty please with sugar on top.

Did they.

[Tx4obama]

19. President Obama has invited all 232 House GOP lawmakers to the White House - only 18 will attend

21. Poor things.

[obxhead]

22. Bullshit

They have been given a response over and over and over again.

Pass a clean CR and debt ceiling increase, then Obama and Dems will discuss anything they want to discuss.

I'm tired of seeing the "silent Dem/Obama" meme perpetuated by the media.

[spanone]

23. horse shit.

[Iliyah]

24. You know the congress could put a stop to the debt ceiling BS

seriously. But they use it demand outrageous crap.

[kairos12]

26. How about stop extorting as an enticement

[JHB]

27. Ok, here's a deal

Pass a clean CR and raise the debt limit, and we'll restore the 1982 income tax rates, fresh off of Reagan's success.

[tallahasseedem]

28. Screw them...

We went through this song and dance back in 2011. Thank heavens that the Dems and Obama are standing firm this time around!

[sheshe2]

29. Cry babies...
