From the Article:

Instead, in a tactic that will go mostly unnoticed, this government funding deal was once again negotiated behind closed doors, and then, like several recent "must-pass" bills, will be rammed through the Senate in no time with limited debate and no floor amendments via a parliamentary mechanism called a "privileged message." A privileged message is a tool that has been abused by Congressional leadership to circumvent committees of jurisdiction and bypass regular order of business to expedite legislation for immediate final passage.

GOP no more “surrendered” to Obama than did Syed Farook to Tashfeen Malik, this was conspiracy not surrender! This is a complete hijacking of the federal government by HUGE money somewhere! (Saudi Arabia?). They seem not concerned by election results... maybe like the old Dailey era Chicago saying: “Everybody casts a ballot but the ‘votes’ are already counted”. One wonders???

Was Paul Ryan the guy years ago that insisted on balancing the budget?

What flipped him? He’s done a Justice Roberts type flip. Something flipped Roberts. Something flipped Ryan.

Above all, I see this as a MORAL failure - different from adultery only in nature, not different in degree.

For ALL GOPe members, their failure to support conservative finanicial issues is above all a moral one.

Fire them all.

Rush - time for a new party?

I am 100% in agreement with Cruz’s assessment.
Listening to Breitbart radio on the way to work this morning, so was every caller.
We’ve lost the country if this passes.
We will be just another European nation.
What was the point of the American Revolution, if we just become another European nation 200+ years later?
We might as well anoint Obama as King and be done with this charade.
This may be the election of our lives, literally, as a Sovereign American nation.
H2B increases and resettling Illegal aliens here?
We have enough illegal lawn mowers and roofers now.
Not to mention, LEGAL immigrant abuses by American companies driving out our own workforce from the marketplace?
This congress has done NOTHING to stop this takeover.
WTF?

Billions of dollars were given to illegals, Muslim ‘refugees we can't vet, and Sanctuary cities, but the same congress will tell us we've got to cut social security and raise the retirement age.

These folks don't give a damn about American citizens.

We need conservatives... Maybe Jeff Sessions can help find some honorable Americans to start the process of becoming tomorrow's leaders.
