As part of the accord, the Senate will hold standalone votes on the Planned Parenthood provision as well as a measure that would defund President Obama's healthcare initiative. Neither vote is likely to pass.

Defund Obamacare my arse

Crybaby got bitchslapped by Reid. Tea partiers nauseated. Unborn babies cringing in fear. Republicans declare victory. Democrats can't stop grinning.

So we go through this again next week. LoL. It will be hard for the media to generate CRISIS week after week.

So, from what I have read so far, the only hit Planned Parenthood took was to not fund abortions in Washington DC. Big deal. Very disappointing. Unless I am not understanding all of it. Someone please educate me if I am wrong. I want to be angry for the right reasons.
I also did not see any mention of NPR. Does anyone know what was done about defunding them, which is what most of us were hoping for.

none of the Republican House's proposed policy provisions, including one to defund Planned Parenthood that consumed much of the attention of the final day of negotiations, along with riders that would have limited the power of the Environmental Protection Agency, were included in the final package.

We will see...I think that they might...lot's of Democrat Senators up for election in 2012.

Last-minute deal sellout averts government shutdown

[ctdonath2]

2% reduction in $1500B isn’t a cut, it isn’t a win, it’s what amounts to agreement with ruinous overspending. This wasn’t a battle in a war; this was surrender with a paltry figment of dignity.

At work today, I commented that the Government wasn't going to pay the Military. The Bill guaranteeing Military pay was just a ‘distraction’. A younger woman said’ that's because it will defund abortions’. I am bereft at the lack of conscience in our younger generation. Funding abortion is more important than paying our Military??? Or even AS important??? It may be time for a peaceful parting of the ways with the Socialists. I don't care which half of the country they want. But I am convinced our side will have the protection of the best Military ever!

[Tempest]

Yh only time the GOP doesn’t cave in is when they’re protecting the interest of their corporate masters. The rest of it is just cheap drama to get your votes.

[Enough is ENOUGH]

Just another round of good cop bad cop, nothing that we haven’t seen before or expected. In the end they all exchange grins with each other and with their lobbyist pimps as the TV cameras close up for the day.

Shutting down the government would only lead to positives like seeing that most of the current crop of dependents/government employees are non-essential. The world existed before the government bureaucracy and will exist when it collapses under its own weight.

I’m not paying close attention here, but I’m not expecting much. Democrat President, Democrat Senate, Republican House. We realistically can’t expect much. If the Tea Party is angry, it’s a good thing. Because if they’re happy, they’re less likely to vote. Any outcome right now that has the tea party enthusiastic to vote in 2012 is a good outcome - provided its a step in the right direction.
