Senator Thune: “We’ve got to fund the government every year.”
This is true, but Senator Thune doesn’t apparently realize that funding the government doesn’t mean endless continuing resolutions that give Democrats exactly what they want.
Senator Thune, if you want to fund the government so badly, why not pass individual budget bills for the various government functions? Send a DoD budget that has absolutely nothing to do with Planned Parenthood to Obama and see if he’s willing to veto it.
I don’t know what agency or agencies provide the PP funds. Perhaps it falls under HHS. OK. Save that budget for last and then send the president a separate HHS budget minus the funds. Leave some funding (with a lot of strings!) in the bill if that’s the only way to get it through the Senate. If he vetoes it, so be it. HHS can keep essential service only going, but the main point is the rest of the government will be funded.
If, on the other hand, President Obama vetoes everything, even things unrelated to PP, let him pay the political price for that.

oh yes he does. and he doesn’t give a rats a$$ about this country.
