You really think so? or just a cheerleader?

Conservatives to my mind mean what they say.

Voting for any spending now that they would not support in the future is not my definition of principled leadership..

No, it's all stuff they already approved in the omnibus. So they already supported it once in the past and when they break it out its the same thing.

Yes, it still seems somewhat stinky. Frankly the monolithic CR was a compromise to begin with. Now they should test all the elements of compromise to see if the Democrats have any integrity at all. If the Senate refuses a bill then next time it comes up for debate the Democrat party will have to explain why it's not really that important to them. Meanwhile some of the Democrat House have already broken ranks and voted with Republicans. So on those items the House Republicans can say "lo, it's bipartisan - you Senate DEMOCRAT extremists don't even support your own team, let alone your constituents!"
