House Conservatives Tire of Stop-Gap Spending
Newsmax ^ | 3/14/2011 | Dan Weil

As House Republican leaders work to put together the second stop-gap spending bill of the year, House conservatives are getting fed up with the whole process. They don’t like the idea of spending the remainder of the fiscal year – until Sept. 30 – fighting with Democrats over miniscule spending cuts that make little headway in cutting into the government’s huge debt burden, Politico reports.

“I don’t think a lot of people have the stomach to do this ad infinitum,” said freshman Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho. He doesn’t see the debate on short-term funding going on much longer.

It was just a matter of time. Did Boner and that dope Cantor thing their lame strategy was a winner? People are angry and we are feed up with BS. That is why we elected these Conservatives.

These two weak Sally's need to go in '12.

Suggestion for Conservatives..........Do it without them. They want you to get frustrated and quit.

The inside the beltway bubble people are stuck in a continuous loop. This is not business as usual, we are on the edge of an economic cliff.

No more time for tinkering with a budget that is double what we can afford. All non essential expenditures need to be stopped immediately.

If we slam on the brakes to this runaway government now it will be bad, but not as bad as it will be if we wait for the laws of economics to destroy us.

The problem with the triangulation strategy is that they need articulate leaders who can communicate what exactly it is that they are doing. Boehner and Cantor simply can’t. They just throw this thing out there and expect everybody to understand it and go along with it (knowing of course that the media won’t help them any).

Yeah, have to go big with Plan B now- there’s no other choice, IMO.

Right on brother!
Cantor is a political hack. Connected at the hip with a political machine. He was the chaffeur for the previous politico! Got the safest seat in VA. But A RINO all the way.
Cut entire departments not 6 Bil at a time.

The single one great precept of law is to make business.

Get rid of the lawyers and you get rid of the problems.

Why would emergency “stop-gap” spending fund Planned Parenthood? Which did it become a necessity?

Thank the REPUBLICANS in your district who voted No! Here’s how they voted, compliments of Mark Levin:

It can be confusing for some, because for instance, both Mike Pence, and Nancy Pelosi, voted No, but for different reasons.
