Offered, repeatedly, House-passed bills to fund the government for the next several months, the Senate Democrats rejected every one.  They did so with no counteroffer; they simply refused to negotiate.

And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says, “They’ve lost their minds.”

That’s all Democrats have.  They refuse to address the issues at hand; all they’re willing to do is make scurrilous ad hominem attacks.

Their shutdown of the government is the temper tantrum of a tired, bitter old man.

Or, it’s the measure of the integrity in the Senate.
