On the floor of the U.S. Senate on Sunday evening, something remarkable—a little bit insider-y in Washington, but remarkable nonetheless—happened: The Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), his entire leadership team, and most of the Republicans in the U.S. Senate voice voted through measures to fund Planned Parenthood in its entirety and to help protect President Barack Obama’s nuclear arms deal with Iran.
The reason the voice vote is significant is because McConnell, especially, and his Whip Sen. John Cornyn, purposefully launched what appears to be an unprecedented effort to duck accountability for their votes—and the votes of every other GOP member who joined with them in supporting Obama’s Iran deal and funding for Planned Parenthood.
The way it went down is a little bit confusing, and procedurally awkward, but it’s truly odd—and highly unusual—for members in the United States Senate to purposefully avoid roll call votes when they are asked for one by a member of the Senate.

Searched for this important article, and couldn't find it anywhere, so I wanted to make sure it was up.
Paging Senator Cruz. Senator Cruz please pick up the white courtesy megaphone.
Any Conservative who still thinks that the Republicans are on our side, at this point, is willfully blind.
The irony of the scaffolding on the capitol building is perfect.
Yep!!!!!!
Or have a stake in the Uniparty/globalist team themselves.
The Republilib party is just the Democrat party’s echo chamber. If this travesty doesn’t open conservative eyes, I don’t know what will.
Next time these guys tell you they are pro-life, just laugh in their faces.
Sen Cruz has been on the steps of the Capitol building screaming about this, since Monday. He’s the ONLY one in DC who’s standing up, being a voice, for our innocent unborn.
May God continue to bless and protect Sen Ted Cruz.
Yeah.
I put out a request to thousands of my friends the other day for any proof of someone, anyone, who actually supports Jeb Bush. His poll numbers make no sense. Out of all my friends, knowledge of only three Bush supporters were discovered here in the first in the nation caucus state of Iowa. All three were, unsurprisingly, hardcore establishment hacks.
Midge and McCornyn....blood of our innocent unborn on their hands.
I’ve been doing that for quite some time.
Not saying absolutely that no 3rd party could win, but if history is any viable indicator, a 3rd party can not.
The RINOs are not any majority in Congress, they are just dem enough to fight dirtier to gain and maintain top authority. What conservatives must do is reclaim the GOP name and relegate the RINOs to “probation status” or send them to their kissin cousins the dems.

MCCONNELL: SENATE WILL VOTE TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD
The Senate will vote next week on a bill that would eliminate all $540 million in taxpayer funding the abortion industry giant receives.
Breitbart, or someone should contact every Republican senator and ask how he voted, then when they all claim they voted conservatively send the results to McConnell and ask him to change the results.
RINOs will brag about how they supported next weeks bill that will not pass when they could have attached the bill to something that would have been harder for Obama to veto.
Absolutely disgusting; backstabbing those to whom you have promised to do what is right, for obviously disguised purpose.
