In a pair of losses for conservatives, the Senate voted overwhelmingly Sunday to revive the Export-Import Bank while failing to overcome a filibuster of an attempt to repeal Obamacare — with more fireworks to come.
The rare Sunday votes set the stage for the Senate to send a long-term highway bill tied to the Ex-Im Bank to the House later this week, but not before facing other gambits by conservatives, including a procedural vote forced by Sen. Ted Cruz regarding the Iran deal and an effort to deploy a maneuver akin to the “nuclear option.”

The GOP is a vile and disgusting beast.
Never again.
We have a Congress ?
Where ?
And the RNC wonders why Trump is surging in the polls.
We tried warning people here. They knew better.
Believe us now?
I would rather face my enemy than allow them stab me in the back. The shifty and devious GOP works in the shadows to defeat us, all the while claiming to support conservative interests. They lie with ease. At least the Democrats are more open about who they are what they want. In some respects its easier to deal with an enemy that is out in the open than it is one who hides behind a smokescreen.
People are furious with the republicrats. Millions are activating that would never have voted. Hillary is under a criminal referral ( There is no such thing as a “security referral”). Trump can whip her for the presidency.
Congress ?
We have a Congress ?
Where ?
Not one for The People anymore
We need to have McConnel’s finances inspected. Follow the money.
Mabye this will inspire certain Freepers to ramp up their hate of evil purists.
Lesser of two evils party strikes again.
Senator: (n) sen-a-turr.(vulgar)
Bottom dwelling pond scum worthy only of tar, feathers, and death by hanging. Found in areas of high concentrations of low education, law degrees, and complete absence of morality.
Not considered human. Can be treated as one wishes.
Well, idiots demanded we elect them no matter what. They all need to shut up and enjoy what their depraved indifference just cost America.
NOW is a good time to be putting pressure on Congress and spending less effort on the distant 2016 POTUS race. Doing both at once is pure gravy though.
Liberals should be caged. Period.
Anytime these jerks are meeting after hours or on the weekend, you can almost guarantee we’re getting screwed!
Yep. See what voting 'lesser evil' gets us?
As you and I pointed out here (until we were blue in the face), you get what you vote FOR. Vote for liberals disguised as severe conservatives, and you'll get liberal governance every stinking time.
Better to let that party crash and burn, then regroup for the sort of fight our ancestors would understand. That's what real men once did, instead of compromising their principles and selling their souls for the hope of security.
Thanks to Cruz’ speech on Friday, I believe many people are paying attention. There will be a price paid. I do not think the old political hacks can see it. They don’t comprehend how angry voters are.
Real men DON’T compromise with evil. Compromise is the burden of those too weak to bear principle.
You've got to give it to Trump. He saw this coming from a mile away, and is capitalizing on every misstep the establishment GOP makes.
I truly believe that he's as pissed about this state of affairs as the next patriot, and is ready to take names and break some things to get this country back in order.
