[ez]

83 republicans stand with the democrats and Obama. Name their names.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Gov. workers would like to thank you for the paid vacation.

That is all.

[JRandomFreeper]

Revern!

The RINO is arguably worse for the deceit that results in inaction.

[Toespi]

The RNC will never get another red cent of mine. What I am willing to give will go to proven conservative candidates, individually. If there isn’t one on my ballot, I don’t vote.

[Girlene]

lol....okay, Peter King - I’ll go along with that one.

[Tennessee Nana]

Its for the conference with the Senate

Ryan is one of the conferees..

6 names were called out..

was that Blackburn ??? Marsha Blackburn from TN

van halen ???

Mrs Chloe ??

[Lazamataz]

Please give us information on what amendment Ryan is trying to offer up, especially if it grants amnesty to illegal immigrants. This would confirm that Obama threatened to destroy America unless he got everything he wanted PLUS amnesty IN THIS APPROPRIATION BILL.

That would make Obama a pure and full-on dictator and would mean it would become imperative for me to leave this country within the next 12 months.

[Menehune56]

So much for the Hastert rule huh?

My first thought too!

[lodi90]

Ryan probably wants to add an amnesty amendment.

---

Ryan apparently still mistakenly believes he’s relevent. Somebody needs to buy him a aclue and tell him his career in politics outside the HOR house is over.

[Girlene]

I’d bet you’re right.

[dfwgator]

Yeah Hastert, another real piece of work he was.

[Seaplaner]

A memorable line.

Thanks for the (highly appropriate) chuckle.

[ealgeone]

THIS!!!!!

[italianquaker]

I saw it

[sickoflibs]

Wow, they missed D-day

D-day ‘Default-day’

We all are saved, for a while.

Now if only that Obama care site would come up I would be OK.

[lodi90]

Disgusting as it may seem, it appears Boehner is getting a Hastert rule mulligan on this vote.

[Girlene]

Thanks!

[fiftymegaton]

I agree, but what’s this inaction you speak of? The RINOs actively help the Dems.

Both in voting, and by rhetorically placating their conservative constituents.

[Gator113]

“We don’t want to trade in a RINO for a dem.”

How does one tell the difference?
