GOP thwarts Dem move to force vote on ‘clean’ spending bill
The Hill ^ | October 4, 2013 | Pete Kasperowicz

House Republicans on Friday stood firm against a move by Democrats to call up the Senate's continuing resolution funding the government.

The vote came on the fourth day of the government shutdown, and is an indication the House GOP remains united in its effort to press ahead with smaller spending bills for the next several days.

Huelskamp, who lost his committee assignments for not voting with this party, said the GOP is “more unified since I've been here in 2 years and 9 months.”

“However, no Republicans went against their leadership, and the House easily voted down the Democratic maneuver, 223-184. Republicans were also unanimously against this move when Democrats tried it on Wednesday.”


good to see despite the criminal liberal media’s attempt to fracture the House GOP....

This “clean” term is becoming really annoying. It seems to be a synonym for “bloated”.

This good news, indeed, so why is the hair on the back of my neck standing up?

I have zero trust in RINOS, but I thank God for the patriots in the House willing to hold the line against Boehner and Cantor.

Boehner better not do any stealth back room deals.

That just took the wind out of the rats sails. They were banking on a disjointed republican party. Now that Republicans are solidly together, and the meme of the MSM is debunked, there is nothing the rats can do except come to the table.

Reid, Hussein, and the left are trying to present this as "we won", as if that justifies anything they want to do and the House might as well just go home. As if we're not a democratic republic but rather a dictatorship where the minority is fhere to either shut up or rubber-stamp everything the majority wants. This country hasn't worked that way since our inception. That's a dictatorship with a figleaf of "democratic" covering, like the Soviets.

Barry’s Marxist, state controlled “media” has already programmed “the publick” to hate Republicans. The GOP might as well play this hand out. Idi Amin Obama’s Obamanoids already hate their guts anyway. The leeches want their freebies and handouts and they know the GOOBS won’t give that stuff to them.

That didn’t take long, considering their plan was only announced about an hour ago...

Yes! It’s called governing, it isn’t the “Dating Game.”

Speaking of that, Reid is ripe for “The Gong Show!”

And the Republicans ALWAYS let the Democrats set the language and then pick it up. That is what annoys me the most.
