The shutdown didn't work to the benefit of the Republicans because Democrats screamed louder blaming the Republicans. Actually, the shutdown was due to Democrat refusal to compromise.

No, the shutdown was due to the fact that the Republicans didn't have enough votes to override a presidential veto. So, due to the way the Constitution has set up our form of government, if they can't override a veto they don't get their way. The shutdown was the GOP throwing a temper tantrum because of that fact. It's amusing that many Conservatives supposedly revere the Constitution...except when it keeps them from getting what they want.

And the president doesn't go on record as vetoing the funding. How sweet it is.
As for revering the Constitution, Obama goes around it to get what he wants. We've seen that a lot.

His veto would go on record. But he doesn't have responsibility for how Congress chooses to react to his veto. If they refuse to rework the bill so that it can be signed, they bear full responsibility for the results of their refusal.
Anyone requiring someone else to inform them that Rafael Cruz is a moron, but master at self-promotion, is probably a moron himself. Which would conveniently explain his support of Cruz.

That begs the question as to what a POTUS can do by way of an executive order. If he is merely doing what he is entitled to do under the Constitution, then his executive orders are perfectly fine, right?
Guess what, only the POTUS can make that determination. Not Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Beck, Ingrahm or any of the crazy posters here.
I don't recall where POTUS has struck down Obama's executive orders. . . . not one. Can you?

We want states rights and to cut spending. It's amusing you comment on, yet don't know what Conservatives want.
