This bill can be voted down - but it won’t be the end of the world.
After defeat of this cromnibus bill, and in less than an hour, a new bill can be voted on after parts have been stripped out. It isn’t rocket science...
“OMNIBUS” bills should be outlawed. They are deliberately contrived to prevent public scrutiny of their contents.
No matter, if either vote for this CR and or vote for Boehner/McConnell for leadership positions, I'm done with them both.
Enough already. I'm a staunch constitutional conservative and damn proud of it.
I understand compromise, but I will never again lay aside my principals to appease the moderates or liberals. Ain't gonna happen.
I heard Boehner again refer to the Tea Party with disdain in his tone.
Tea party = TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY. We stand for limited government, lower taxes, lower regulation, pro-business, pro-constitution, pro-God/Christian, pro-family values, pro-American worker, patriotism, dominate military and technological advantage on the battle field.
If the GOP has a problem with the Tea Party, they have a problem with the above. If they have a problem with the above, then they are my adversary.
To hell with the notion, “vote for the lesser of two evils”.
They want my vote? Fix your damn candidates. YOU lay aside YOUR principals for a change. We've been sold a bill of goods and have laid aside our principals for two and a half decades to help along the party. No more.
Done! Moderates...you follow us conservatives. If we fall, we fall because the moderate/liberal republicans made it so.
We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.” — President Ronald Reagan
Republicans must be patient: they have put just enough
in the bill so that Barry will sign it. They will really
go to work in January.
It won’t be defeated. No point in wasting time on such efforts.
Surely, all of us should know by now that Boner & his cronies are gonna do whatever they want to do. We the people be dammed.
That jackass needs to lose the Speakership when the new Congress organizes. McConnell shouldn’t get Senate Majority Leader either. They BOTH need to be replaced by real conservatives.
It’s entirely permissible and possible for the House to elect someone to be speaker that isn’t even in the Congress. I think it would be a terrific idea to bring in a total outsider to fill that role.
Thanks for your post and activism, but let me know when there’s something that will actually solve our government problem. If the bill is defeated or radically changed, our problem remains. The problem is the people who control the government. They’ll just pass no bill, and still do what they want by fiat.

“... he noted that it does not undo Obamacare, does not stop the president’s executive action on immigration, or curtail his sweeping climate change agenda, among other items.”
Sing it Obama!
KEEP CALLING
why are all these bills so massive in pages. This is absolutely ridiculous for a bill to be more than 25 pages. The government knows nothing of brevity, but sure knows stupidity and being long winded.
