Do conservatives support (R)'s obstructing the budget process?

Question

After complaining for so long about the lack of a budget resolution, shouldn't cons be mad at their (R) representatives for holding up the process?

Monday marks 100 days since the Senate passed a budget amid bipartisan praise of the open process. But initial Republican eagerness to work on a budget has given way to the obstructionism that’s defined the Senate minority under Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Over the past hundred days, Republicans have blocked 15 separate attempts to go to a budget conference with the House of Representatives. Now that the House and Senate have passed their own versions, each is supposed to appoint representatives to a committee that reconciles them into one bill that can be passed by each body and signed by the president.

Answer 1

This is par for the conservative course.



They stopped Obama from closing Gitmo then blamed him for failing to close Gitmo.



They blocked Obama's job bills then criticize him for the unemployment rate.



This just proves that conservatives are more concerned with obstructing Obama than with helping America.

Answer 2

Total fiction.



According to other sources:



"For the second consecutive year, the Democrat-controlled United States Senate has unanimously rejected President Obama's 2013 budget. The final vote was 99-0, making the the running two-year tally 196-0. This move follows the House of Representatives' 414-0 rebuke of the same fiscal blueprint earlier this year. Astonishingly, not a single Senate Democrat has voted in favor of any budget for three years, even as they refuse to offer a plan of their own."





"'Republican obstructionism!'? False. Budgets explicitly cannot be filibustered. If Democrats introduced a budget, whipped their members, and called a vote, it would pass. Simple as that. Republicans couldn't do a thing to stop it. But that would require Democrats to put their long-term plans on paper, which they've been avoiding like the plague for entirely political reasons."

Answer 3

Ever since that ridiculous display of child-like behavior in summer 2011 when the House Republicans refused to pay the bills, I have watched them repeat their performance time and again. The tea partiers, financed by the corporate interests of the Kochs and their fellow capitalists, have succeeded in showing the world how easy it is for big money to gain control.





@Damon Lyon:

I love opposing views but the Senate actually did pass a budget. The Senate Budget Committee had this to say amid bipartisan support:



"The American people are sick and tired of watching their government lurch from crisis to crisis. The Senate Budget offers a serious and credible path away from this gridlock and dysfunction and toward a long-term plan to create jobs, lay down a strong foundation for broad-based economic growth, replace sequestration, and tackle our deficit and debt responsibly and credibly."



Obviously, when the White House doesn't submit a budget, it's the president's fault, even if he blames Congress. The ball is in the White House court in that situation. When the House refuses to attend budget negotiations, who's fault is that?

Answer 4

I support the budget offered by the house, where by the Constitution it is to originate. Smaller Government is better.

Answer 5

Of course. Conservatives are so obsessed with Obama that they've abandoned their own core values for Obama-bashing. Government obstructionism is all they care about. They don't even want their own policies being passed while Obama is president because they assume he must have some trap or trick in store for endorsing those policies, other than the spirit of bipartisan compromise.

Answer 6

Why all this fuss over a budget? With a seventeen trillion dollar national debt, congress has proved one thing. They have NEVER paid the slightest attention to a budget.

Answer 7

Our current politicians are so absolutely corrupt, it is only a matter of time the American people realize that all the money is gone, and they won't be getting any.

Answer 8

Yes. Right now, their only goal is to slow down progress at the expense of Obama so the Democratic Party suffers in the midterm elections.

Answer 9

why worry about a budget when all of the money is gone.

Answer 10

If they had a budget to obstruct, maybe.

Answer 11

Your only source is a site that kisses Obama's ***. You have no credibility.
