The House on Friday approved a $1.1 trillion spending package that includes the first major change approved by Congress to ObamaCare, and keeps the government open through September 2016.

Lawmakers backed the package following a furious effort by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and their leadership teams to corral votes in both parties.

Why the furious effort to corral Democrat votes? Screw 'em. Act like you're in the majority for once.

[Crazieman]

How many are willingly paying for it?

Because if you are, but continue to post here spouting rhetoric, you mean nothing, if you get my drift.

[greene66]

With the corrupt Uniparty in control of this nation, we might just as well be conquered slaves toiling under a foreign entity.

Ok, Ryan.

Now that you’ve got this out of the way, do a bill that takes away the Planned Parenthood funding.

No excuses now.

Make Obama veto it.

[TexasCajun]

Love to see the record on just which Republicans voted for this crap.

How pitiful that Ryan has to partner with Dems to pass his bill.

[CatOwner]

So, the American have been expressing their displeasure with the way Congress has been operating in the past several years, and Congress decide to up the ante and piss the people off more. I think they truly believe no one can stop them.

Even if Trump gets in, they can block nearly everything he would want vs giving Obama nearly everything he has wanted. And while it's a great thought to want to believe these people should be voted out, the reality is most will be returning if they so choose.

Where’s the list of villains who voted for this atrocity?
We don’t have the money.
What the he11 happened to the “Republican revolt”? is EVERYONE on the Hill getting paid off (or at least got hard-to-resist offers)?

Cue the picture of Romney and Kennedy at the Romneycare bill signing.

They are laughing at us rubes right now before they jet off for their taxpayer funded inspection tours to warm locales for Christmas.

[Theophilus]

Why would he do anything to undo what he just did? The GOP is gone.

[exit82]

Let me guess—all of the Dems voted yes, and half the GOP did not, so they could tell their constitutents next year that they fought for us.

Am I right?

[Mathews]

Nuts...

[TTFlyer]

Welcome to the U.S.S.A. comrades. Now get back to work for the State as our Glorious Leader commands!

And if you think this is a joke, the joke’s on you.....

[Libertynotfree]

By their definition, we are their slaves.

[Old Sarge]

Further evidence of how far gone we as a nation are.

The Founding Fathers were already shooting, given these same conditions.

But these day, Monday Night Football and Kim Kardashian’s ass are far more interesting.
