House passes spending bill to avoid government shutdown
Yahoo News ^ | 14 September 2012 | Chris Moody

Returning to Washington for a brief session between their summer recess and fall campaign season, the House of Representatives on Thursday passed a spending bill funding the government into the next year. The funding extension, known as a Continuing Resolution (CR), keeps to the $1.047 trillion spending agreement reached between the parties and avoids a government shutdown until March 27, 2013, nearly five months after the November election. The federal government has continually relied on short-term funding extensions since 2009, the last time the Democrat-controlled Senate passed a traditional budget plan that set spending levels.

This is to avoid a bad deal in lame duck session

Okay, fine. Given that it's been 3+ years since the President has signed an actual budget into law, I'm guessing these Continuing Resolutions have been happening like clockwork all along in the Republican-controlled House. True?

If so, WHY?! (I'd ask my Congressman but, he's a liberal Pelosi puppet.) Are there just so many career politicians on the Hill, so completely devoid of any spine, so unwilling to take a stand for the future of the nation, that they refuse to even consider shutting down (only the non-essential services of) the federal government--because of what, the fear of how they'll be portrayed in the media? And how that might cost them some votes??!!!!!

Is your Obama behaving like Chavez and giving a million illegals Amnesty by decree your solution. Obama needs to be replaced.

Obama is an enemy of America. Is Romney? no . look at their responses to this Islamic attack against America you democrat.

No one can make the world perfect at this point but Obama has to be stopped. you think your Obama borrowing 6 trilion $ won't collapse the U.S.A? then you are wrong.

Your damn pos Obama even just is intimidating Youtube to censor that video. Your Obama apologized to the Islamic terrorists. In contrast Romney gave a great response and criticized Obama for it's response. So tell me again how your Obama is the same as Romney. Romney chose Ryan and Obama chose biden.

I have a solution . it's in my page and on my tagline. too much government ( laws ) are the problem so put an expiration date on them of 4 years. Problem is no one will listen to me because on one can't understand this simple concept.

Your Obama is even intimidating youtube so they censor that video that criticizes Islam:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2930997/posts?page=4

Your Obama passed the dream Act Amnesty for illegals. Presidents can't do this but it did it anyway. You say Romney and Obama are the same but Romney won't violate the law like that .Obama is the same as Chavez or Stalin not Romney.

Romney gave a great response to this Islamic attack on 9/11., the 2nd 9/11 , but Obama instead apologizes to Muslims and had no security ( no bullets etc) . Blood is on your Obama’s hands. the media hides this but instead bashes Romney. you and the media agree that it's Romney which is the problem. wtf?

Your Obama piled on 6 trillion $ more in debt on the U.S.A ensuring its collapse.

Obama is an enemy of America Romney isn't . no one will be perfect but we have to vote out obama . your solution is bash Republicans which will keep Obama in power and so Obama can keep issuing its executive orders, censoring youtube, giving amnesty to illegals, blowing up the debt, and a million other crimes. and your response to Obama’s crime Is bash Republicans, bash Romney. give me a break you are democrats.

All I said that there was a strategy other than the constant whinning and complaing from people like you who do nothing.

Is there now? And what might that strategy be?

This CR funded Obamacare.

Pelosi, Reid, and Obama built this socialist vehicle, and now Romney Republicans are paying the payments and putting gas in the tank.

Wake up, people.
