the GOP yesterday killed a House bill that would increase funding for scientific research and math and science education...

If it killed funding for anything, especially education, I'm in favor of it.

Once we get a majority in the House, let's remember the pornography trick to defeat funding for healthcare...

The GOP cannot force the Dems to do anything

Okay, I guess I'm stupid. Why couldn't the Rats have simply allowed the provision to ban payment to Federal employees disciplined for viewing porn to stay in the bill?

On the whatever web site where this was published and they are all wailing and gnashing their teeth because the Feds aren't spending enough money, they never explain why the Rats would have been forced to vote the pornography clause out of the bill.

Good. Stupid effing liberals. Even as we watch Greece burn over the consequences of too much debt, our "saviours" in Congress want to lard more debt on top of us.

Greece, Democrats' Utopia

There is no limit to the need for funding as long as the money is coming out of someone else’s pocket. Democrats have engineered the system so that all of the money comes out of the pockets of Republican voters. Republican politicians have gone along because they don’t want to be called meanies by their Democrat collegues.

But they didn't have the stomach for it, and 121 Democrats jumped ship and voted with Republicans to kill the bill.

Yeah, blame the Reps when almost half of the Dems vote with them.

Republicans seem to be more conservative and canny about it when they are in the minority. As a majority they seem to join themselves to other varieties of the Left or just concentrate on lining their pockets while ignoring anything like the Constitution and conservative policies and ideas.

At this point as far in debt as the USA is now IMHO all funding needs to be cut except for defending the country because we are out of money. IMHO the kids won’t care about this once they find out how in debt we’ve made them for all eternity. Lets stop most spending now before we are 100% of GDP!

Death by Parlimentary tactics which are perfectly fine and used by the Democrats skillfuly and often. The Dems are just miffed that the republicans out foxed them this time. Too bad something like this couldn’t have been used on the numerous ghastly bils that have been passed by the current Demorat controlled congress.

..........Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN) said. "It was a cynical effort to undermine an important bill for my 9-year-old daughter, for your kids and your grandkids."

Ya suppose the 12 trillion deficit could have the same effect you idiot?

increase funding for scientific research

Anything that supports the propaganda effort called climate Research ...aka ...the Global Warming Hoax...needs to be stripped out of the bill.

Why can’t the private sector fund scientific research and math? If they find something then can patent or copyright it and make some cash.

As for “science education,” well, we’ve seen how well Federally funded eduction works, right?
