Government Shutdown Averted as Congress Passes Spending Bill
NYTiimes ^ | SEPT. 30, 2015 | By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN

WASHINGTON — With only hours to spare on the last day of the fiscal year, Congress approved a temporary spending measure to avert a shutdown and keep the federal government operating through Dec. 11.

In the House, the measure was approved only because of strong support by Democrats — a sign of just how angry rank-and-file Republicans remain over their powerlessness to force policy changes on the Obama administration.

In one last display of their fury, House Republicans on Tuesday adopted another resolution to cut off government financing to Planned Parenthood. The resolution was to be sent to the Senate, where Democrats were certain to block it.

So, Planned Abortionhood gets Federal money to sell baby parts on eBay.

Iran was right, back in the 1970's. We really ARE the Great Satan.

Powerlessness?

More like unwillingness.

Well as I read the other day, if Planned P’hood was caught selling puppy parts, they would have been closed down in 48 hours....

So they chop up babies and sell the flesh, and the most we can do is argue about how many millions are we going to give them for doing it.

God watches to see at what point our consciences hit the limit switch, at what point do we finally say “no more”.

Chopping up babies isn’t it. I wonder what finally does it.

Dec 11 is the last day before Christmas recess. They have created another crisis date as was stated by Ted Cruz. At that time, to avert a ‘crisis shut down’ they will fund the government for up to 2 years is what I’ve heard.

Boehner used democrats again.

We do need to ensure that no republican voting for this will be included in discussions about becoming speaker.

We ARE the New Babylon.

Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and the rest were powerless - powerless, I tell you - to do anything about this.

America is unsustainable.

Both in terms of money, and in terms of total lack of morality.

I expect Planned Abortionhood to start selling fetus Protien Shakes soon.

Notice that while still here, the number of leftists telling us how wrong we are every day is decreasing? I wonder why?

And what is going to change by Dec. 11th?

The GOP sure as heck is not going to risk a Christmas shutdown, so what is the point?

Once again, the budget is passed, not by Republicans, but by Democrats with Republican support.

Everyone gets to go home and say “I fought against Planned Parenthood” when they all had counted the votes ahead of time, and think they can fool the bitter clingers back home again.

Things will not change until we have a new political party.

The GOP has to go the way of the Whigs.

They are completely compromised, useless and treacherous.

At least by Dec 11 John Bonehead will be gone as hopefully will Kevin McCranky and Mitch HicConnell.

And yet we were screamed at by Freepers to elect Bhoner and Mitch and their ilk because feet would be held to the fire.

The feet that SHOULD be held to the fire are those that did that.

After THIS by Planned Abortionhood.. they still get REWARDED.

God’s hand of protection will be removed from us, and it will not be pretty.
