Fifty-seven House Democrats have broken ranks with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer to vote with Republicans to fund parts of the government like veterans programs, national parks and the National Institutes of Health.

Sixteen of those Democrats voted for all six targeted appropriations bills, introduced at the behest of House Speaker John Boehner, including measures to fund the National Guard and Reserve, NIH, national parks, the District of Columbia and two separate votes for veterans programs. (The House of Representatives voted twice to restore funding for veterans programs, once Oct. 1 and a second time Oct. 3.)

“NOW Boehner and (Co) need to get on every news program to spout this: and tell the truth!”

They need to use the term “bipartisan budget” over and over again.

Cruz has been bringing these bills to the floor. Reid and his toadies have been amending them to include full funding. Cruz has objected to the amendments, killing his motions.

The REPUBLICANS are standing strong. I continue to be cautiously optimistic. AND, regardless of how they vote, the democrats continue to look like the fools there are.

Our vets are honoring the guys who didn’t come back from the Indianapolis, Normandy, Bataan and the Ardennes so that their deaths were not in vain.

Yes, they were the Greatest Generation.

When will everyone learn that truth no longer matters. Americans are stupid. It is over.

Helpful.

BTW, I’m American, I’m not stupid, and I’m not giving up on this country that our vets, including my grandfather, have fought and died for.
