In a defeat for Republican leadership, the House on Thursday rejected a sweeping farm bill, amid opposition from both sides of the aisle.
More than 60 House Republicans defected and voted against the half-trillion-dollar bill, which sets funding for farm subsidies and other assistance as well as food stamps.
The vote was 234-195 against the bill.
Why did dems vote against it?
twitter isn’t Fox
Before celebrating, I’d suggest finding out where the votes came from.
I suspect this is urban Dems voting against slowing the growth of food stamps, and southern representatives wanting more money for peanuts and sugar.
No, but Chad Pergrams Twitter IS Fox.
If it went down it was because not enough people’s bread was getting buttered.
WOW!
I’m pleasantly surprised.
Exactly this.
replace that food stamp/ EBT crap with $20 a week care boxes of beans, rice, powdered milk and eggs.
A feint flicker of hope?
They call it the farm bill but it’s the Department of Agriculture appropriations bill. That will still need to be funded.
Denocrats defeated the bill: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2013/roll286.xml
Some conservatives voted against it too though.
One of those groups will be sorry for their vote.
This will get interesting. The senate’s bill is even bigger than the house bill that just went down!
Oh this could get interesting....
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., voted for the bill
Was this the “give” in a “give and take” for amnesty?
Not enough money for foodstamps and school lunches plus a requirement that people getting foodstamps be tested for drugs. Among other things.
You keep believing that.
The enemy of the American people is the democrat party. The democrat party controls
1. the news media
2. hollwywood
3. the presidency
4. The senate
5. the gov bureaucracies
5. the unions
7. the universities
8. the schools
9. soros , Lewis,zuckerberg, msny other billionaires are democrats.
10. Obama the main tyrant is a democrat
11. silicon valley, Google etc. are democrats
12. Pelosi, REid, fienstein, Shumer, Durbin , Lois lerner r democrats
13 . the rest of the media
14. IRS , EPA, DHS, HHS, TSA, FBI, etc.
15. liberals control the supreme Court( they approved Obamacare)
15 . Democrats control all the political money .Soros, tides foundation,gov grants,Zuckerberg,Lewis (another billionaire. moveon.org,unions etc.
Democrat party controls all this and more but the media and many others say that everything is the Republicans fault even though r’s have only a few votes majority in the House and that’s it
Democrats want to makes slaves of all Americans, turn us into cattle with less rights than a cow or farm chicken for them to manipulate.
I fully expect corn to be declared a minority by the supremes (soon) and be allowed to vote by the kernel. Sugar not manufactured by / from corn could be outlawed. There goes the drinking part from corn sweezin’s.
Hope not!
I hope it’s a sign that they know we’re not going to take this crap anymore.
