Dems eliminated the normal budget process when they went to CRs.

They didn't "eliminate" anything.
CRs came about because the Senate, under that POS Harry Reid won't submit a budget and forced the House to pass CRs, which the House then should have told Harry to pound sand.

CRs have effectively removed the power of the purse from the House.

No, the House is too chicken to pass a REAL budget. Spending still originates in the House but the House is too afraid to wield their power. Like last time, they tried to revert to individual bills but it didn't work. Have you been hibernating? It didn't work.

Look, they don't need to do anything but pass an honest budget that tackles spending, reduces the size of gov't, and addresses entitlement programs. I don't want them passing individual bills, I want them to stand their ground

If all you have is personal attacks based on a screenname, you really are lost. Maybe it's just your anger over 0bama trying to take over all 3 branches coming out? I forgive you.

Oh please. My comment wasn't even a personal attack. If you really got offended by me simply stating that you should live up to your screenname, then I have no hope for you.

The normal budget process of passing individual bills was indeed eliminated. That’s why it isn’t happening now. I hope we can get it back.

The House DID tell Harry to pound sand. The tactic was not successful in getting the normal process back. It’s still a CR. What it WAS successful at was getting some focus on 0bamacare as that was publicly claimed as a reason for not approving the CR.

See, by passing individual spending bills instead of CRs, they WOULD be standing their ground. That’s why it was a deal breaker for Reid and 0bama. If they allowed individual bills to fund government, that would end 0bamacare. That’s why they’ll not ever wittingly allow that.

There was no offense taken from either your previous personal attack or this one attempting ridicule. Again, attempting to belittle others in an argument is a loser. Appealing to emotion makes it less likely that others will take you seriously. Like typing in all caps... It doesn’t help you.
