The continuing resolution that the House Appropriations Committee introduced yesterday and that the House Republican leadership is preparing to bring up for a vote on the House floor puts no limits on funding Planned Parenthood—the nation’s largest abortion provider—or any provision of Obamacare, including the regulations that force Christian individuals and organizations to buy or provide health insurance that covers abortion-inducing drugs.
“The bill is ‘clean’ and does not contain highly controversial provisions,” says a press release put out by the Appropriations Committee.
“We have reached the point where a Continuing Resolution is necessary to keep the government functioning and avoid another shutdown,” said Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R.-Ky.). “It is a critical piece of legislation, and my Committee has crafted the bill in a responsible, restrained way that should draw wide support in the House and Senate. This bill is free of controversial riders, maintains current levels, and does not seek to change existing federal policies.”
The bill would take effect on Oct. 1, the first day of fiscal 2015, and run only through Dec. 11.
That means it is designed to get the members of Congress who vote for it past the November mid-term elections, when all members of the House and a third of the Senate must stand for reelection.

Second, because virtually all members of the Tea Party would have otherwise voted Republican if not for this new third party, they will be castigated for essentially giving elections away to Democrats."
Sounds just like some FReepers around here...

They may call the bill “clean”, but in reality it is anything but clean with the blood of innocent aborted babies on their hands.
That's BS; no lame duck session on the budget so that Obama can shut down the government over not funding his amnesty program.
more kabuki and al-taqiyaa from our own guys.
