A top House leader predicted Monday that Washington will avoid stumbling into a government shutdown next week over a tea party-backed drive to take away Planned Parenthood's funding.
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy added, however, that Congress may need additional time to work through a massive, $1.1 trillion catchall spending bill that tops the agenda as lawmakers return to Capitol Hill for a two- or three-week sprint to finish this year's session.
McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters that "I do not hear people shutting the government down over it right now," referring to demands by some conservatives to attach language to "defund" Planned Parenthood to the must-do spending bill. Such a move would guarantee gridlock. ...

Keep electing lesser evil folks. No matter what. Keep bringing it on yourselves.
It ain’t the Democrats.
Squishy GOP is the problem. It’s not about pulling the lever for the (R), but for the integrity associated with the name in front of it.
No Hanlon’s Razor here. This is one-party rule; don’t mistake shallow pretense of conservatism to be “squish(iness)”.
I think it’s more than established that this evil is not “lesser”, as if the yeast does not leaven the whole lump.
Gee, see what giving the Pubbies two majorities does???
And, we have many on this forum saying we need to elect ANOTHER career politician....that we can only trust a politician with a VOTING record.
This is just another example of why I will NOT do that, this time.
I want someone who has the guts to clean out BOTH Houses of Congress and get rid of these paid for PAC puppets.
Of course not. Do we expect anything else from these RINOs? Go TRUMP Go.
The gop in all it’s naked glory showing us why we should continue voting, because this time it’ll be different. Just like it was the last 34 times.
We could continue with this tomfoolery. Or maybe, just maybe, we could walk away from these sham elections and start living like conservatives. We could self govern. We could have some measure of freedom in our lifetimes.
Bump!
Go for gridlock! Shut it down.
I want what you want, but with all due respect (seriously) I want Cruz. Depending on the nominee, if not Cruz, I will definitely vote Trump. It WILL be Cruz or Trump.
This guy came across as breathtakingly dumb recently when he alluded to the Benghazi hearings' sole purpose being to bring down Hillary's poll numbers.
We're headed to 19 TRILLION and beyond.
And that's really only the tip of the iceberg. Unfunded liabilities are COLOSSAL.
Oh it assuredly is established. The Problem is we still have sycophants in full throated support of this POS party called the GOP.
They are a danger to America because they demand that very evil and insist it is ‘lesser. See any random thread for details. And wouldn’t you know it? It’s the same crew every election.
Imagine my surprise.
They are somewhat clueless but they are no less dangerous.
To coin a movie line from Die Hard: (Establishment Rinos)- “Looks like we're gonna need some more GOP guys”.
:-)
Not only will criminal and heinous acts go unpunished they will be subsidized by the taxpayer. The Republicans insist upon it.
And Republicans expect me to vote for them. It will be a cold day in hell.
