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.

Norm, I am spitting nails right now.
Obama just had a little victory lap press conference about getting the budget passed just in the nick of time. He could scarcely believe Boehner and McConnell rescued him yet AGAIN—his expression was one of incredulity.
Pelosi and Reid are doing handstands.
Boehner is awash in Johnny Walker Red.
And Mitch Mcconnell is playing with his turtle.
All despicable people, so unworthy to be in Congress.
Sloth: the sin of otherwise good men doing nothing while evil is on the march.
How lazy is the president’s opposition?
We tried and tries and tried to warn people and were mocked and called traitors, Obama supporters and worse.
Now we are told we are arrogant and rubbing it in for the crime of not being silent about it.
We were right. Lots of people need to check their belief systems and either grow a conservative spine or be open moderates.
Good. These POS idiots deserve the full wrath.
Continuing Resolutions != Budget
Spineless weasels no better than Democrats!
“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 conservatives got the hotfoot.
At least we have less of the “lesser evils” around here, like you stated.
Human garbage. Every one of them.
To me, they are inherently more evil than the Dems, because they know good from evil, and sold out anyway.
Exactly. I have far more respect for the craziest DU liberal because they don’t pretend to be one thing and sell their cause out like a big chunk of FR does every election.
I don’t see DU crazies threatening to shoot their fellows like our lake loving friend does with conservatives that refused Romney either.
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.
Boehner will be gone well before then.
1 Samuel 16:14: But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
Bad analogy, maybe, but certainly food for thought.
Oh, dear, how ever could we sheep get along without our Government Overlords for even a single day!
It all played out exactly as Cruz said it would, the democrats and rino’s are on the same team and as he also said Reid and Pelosi are still in charge in both chambers of congress, probably more powerful now then ever before.
Boehner is wrecking as much as he can until he departs.
Wish it was already end of October.
And when they get elected that is what they do (after they take what they want).
Republican politicians say "Vote for us and we will restore the Republic."
But when they get elected they say "It's too much to do right now - wait 'til next election."
Then they dig in with the democrats to get a share of the loot.
Oh but we simply MUST elect them or liberal freepers will call us bad names!
We must be pragmatic and destroy America on the proper terms or leftist frauds across the net and the media will be cross!
We must get evil elected no matter what!
How did McCarthy vote?
We were hoping for fierce fighting bulldogs.
But last fall we got cowardly sex poodles.
Where can we get a list of the votes?
