WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is sending President Barack Obama a massive bill funding domestic programs and awarding lawmakers their cherished pet projects after more than a week of partisan debate.
Senators passed the measure by voice vote after voting 62-35 to shut down debate. The White House says Obama will sign the bill. It finishes up last year's budget business, which stalled as Democrats feuded with former President George W. Bush.
The huge bill encountered unexpected difficulty in the wake of Obama's economic stimulus bill and a budget plan forecasting a $1.8 trillion deficit for the current budget year.

The GOP should be shouting from the mountaintops. Yet they slouch away with their tails between their legs, hoping that the pork crumbs they deliver will mean reelection.

62 votes. Must mean the RINOs were on board with their butt buddies in the marxist party.

Those aren’t Republicans.

Quite a few GOP crossovers in this one, none of them surprises. The surprise was existence of DEM NAY votes.
Another bipartisan victory for government.

I'm guessing this link is going to be to the correct roll call vote:
Roll Call Vote 0096 - not live as of posting, will become live in due course.

Promises mean nothing to the Obammie-Commie. I'm glad people are getting sick of his lame excuse " It's Bush's' fault!". The push polls may say one thing, but the real people are saying another.
