They are quite worthy of your hate. They’ve earned it.

They have to pass it to find out what’s in it.

The GOP has ceased to put up even token resistance and is now happily trailing in the wake of the DemoncRATS.

“We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we are providing Americans the kind of help that they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” Obama said.

Somebody call a doctor, this Boehner has lasted more than four years.

And, conservatives are tired of getting screwed.

Congress should forced to read these huge bills word for word into the official congressional record. Should take a couple of weeks.

-— Boehner, you are a complete tool. There is no excuse for these omnibus bills, other than to obfuscate and prevent debate. -—

it’s as simple and awful as that.

“House Republicans plan to move a rule through the Rules Committee on Tuesday that will prevent members from offering amendments to the bill on the floor.”

Rats/RINOs—”What difference at this point does it make?”

RE :”I am confused, did the Ryan bill do this already?”

That's what I thought at the time but two weeks ago New Year week a fellow freeper told me this was coming and provided a link, yet no-one was talking about it.

Notice there was no signing of that in December.

Yet the house and Senate passed the same spending bill we were were told. What was all that fuss about? Levin went ballistic, and many here too,

Has it been posted on the internet, so we ALL can see what’s in it? Has anyone in the house seen or studied what it is? Why is he trying to rush it through?

Boehner: “But we’re in a situation where the government is in fact going to run out of money.”

And that's a bad idea?!
With "conservatives" like this, who needs enemies?

“...Boehner said at a press conference following a House GOP conference meeting. “But we’re in a situation where the government is in fact going to run out of money.”

BS. There’s no lack of money coming into FedGov, there’s also no lack of spending it foolishly. The unwillingness to take as much time as needed to ensure we are not spending any more than needed is (always) insulting.
