Congressional leaders unveiled a massive $1.01 trillion spending bill Tuesday night that will keep most of the federal government funded through September.

The legislation is expected to pass in the coming days and will allow the new Republican- controlled Congress to clear the decks of lingering spending issues, while setting the stage for a prolonged fight with President Obama over immigration policy.

Most will oppose. That’s why Bonehead worked his deal with RATs.

Does any FReeper now require any more evidence after this rank betrayal to finally abandon the Republican party and turn to the article 5 movement?

“Attack, repeat attack”... or run away.

Boehner could easily be made to pay with his Speakership for this final betrayal if people weren’t so eager to just whine and cry at the moment of our greatest opportunity.

That’s how I see it anyway.

Our choices for speaker are Boehner, Pelosi, and a third or fourth candidate. Go ahead, split the vote and put Pelosi in. That’ll be fun. See how this “need another speaker in there” works?

$1.01 isn’t that much if you overlook that “T” word. Most people still don’t see it.

Sorry to say that the Republican’s action during this period is exactly why they will never win the Presidential election! They will never understand that as long as they cave to Democrat ideas, they will lose at least 4-8 million voters in the election, probably more. They continue to listen to the MSM and disregard the people.

Most of us are so tired of the same old political excuses for spending, balanced budgets, smaller government, etc., it is all just a scam to get votes. It matters little who we vote for these days as they continue to vote for the same things. Yes, that does mean that the Constitution is going down eventually in the next few years, if nothing else because of debt. Either way, we will be collapsing due to the debt within a shorter and shorter time frame. Our politicians keep putting off the required changes because it will cost them their election. We should have placed limitations on government service but in our ignorance, we failed. It has led to our destruction!

We have no party to protect the people but we do have two parties that really want power and the ability to control. The choice is yours! Unfortunately, it matters little!

Bull Halsey, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and any competent field general knows to avoid the enemy where he is strong and attack him with overwhelming force where he is weak. The Republican establishment is strong where it is established, which is in the leadership of Congress and in fundraising. It is not so strong in the state legislatures.

There is the enemy and there he should be attacked.

I’m confused. If we’re spending one trillion a yr with some income to offset it how did we go from 7 trillion in debt to 18 trillion in debt in 6 yrs?

Must be the new math.

You got it; and, Boehner funded 0commiecare through then.

I’d like to hear Gowdy and Cruz and Sessions say something about this.

How can one, out-going, Congress nail down the next, in-coming, like this?

Who has the cojones, come Jan, to start up a NEW, no EPA, no DOE, no OCare, no...budget and shove it up the Cry Baby’s (IF she’s still speaker) A$$?! You’d see the next Prez. right there...

Can you recall one time since Obama begin occupying the White House that the Republicans did not give him what they wanted? You can now start the countdown to where Obama will be able to say, "Mission accomplished."

We have and have had two wings of the same political party .

Roses are red, violets are blue;
Obamacare’s funded, and now Amnesty too!

The preceding is a lament about the Repubs rolling over, even funding the transport of HUNDREDS of dying Ebola patients to the US to infect the rest of us.
