House Republicans’ CR (Continuing Resolution) Funds Planned Parenthood and All Obamacare
CNS News ^ | September 10, 2014 | Terence P. Jeffrey

Posted on 09/10/2014 1:18:00 PM PDT by Zakeet

The continuing resolution that the House Appropriations Committee introduced yesterday and that the House Republican leadership is preparing to bring up for a vote on the House floor puts no limits on funding Planned Parenthood—the nation’s largest abortion provider—or any provision of Obamacare, including the regulations that force Christian individuals and organizations to buy or provide health insurance that covers abortion-inducing drugs.

“The bill is ‘clean’ and does not contain highly controversial provisions,” says a press release put out by the Appropriations Committee.

“We have reached the point where a Continuing Resolution is necessary to keep the government functioning and avoid another shutdown,” said Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R.-Ky.). “It is a critical piece of legislation, and my Committee has crafted the bill in a responsible, restrained way that should draw wide support in the House and Senate. This bill is free of controversial riders, maintains current levels, and does not seek to change existing federal policies.”

The bill would take effect on Oct. 1, the first day of fiscal 2015, and run only through Dec. 11.

That means it is designed to get the members of Congress who vote for it past the November mid-term elections, when all members of the House and a third of the Senate must stand for reelection.

It is important for GOP house leadership to cave in before the election so that people who might vote for the Pubs are not misled into thinking that they might actually stand for cutting spending and against baby-killing!

While the nation slides into oblivion, the GOP has decided to sit on its ass and do nothing (again).

Good work boys. :)

I made this point before, and I’ll make it again.

If Ted Cruz - or ANY presidential candidate - does not run on the promise that he’ll overturn FUBOCare; I’ll not support him.

What a DISAPPOINTMENT!
Compromisers ALWAYS LOSE !

"Establishment Republicans" lose everytime they're listened to.
They wouldn't care if they DO lose.
If they can't be in power, they don't want US in power.
It's just that simple.
It's WAR!

We will never unify under "Establishment Republicans" .
"Establishment Republicans" have more in common with the Democrats, than they do with Conservatives.
The weak candidates are "Establishment Republicans", weak on national security, amnesty for illegals, abortion, and government spending.
"Establishment Republicans" scream "COMPROMISE".
And people who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.
Someone once said [We're] 'Not victims of "the Establishment." '
I disagree.
I ask you again: It WAS Mitt Romney, leader of the "Establishment Republicans"
and it WAS the "Establishment Republicans" who funded all those negative ads against Conservatives.

So conservatives, the BASE of the Republican Party, WERE ' victims of "the Establishment." '

These "Establishment Republicans" are being weeded out, one by one, and slowly but surely, the TEA Party is taking over.

"Establishment Republicans" Want to Redefine the Term "Conservative"
DO CONSERVATIVES "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" WANT TO WIN IN 2014 OR NOT?

Jack Kerwick wrote an article on May 24, 2011 titled The Tea Partier versus The Republican and he expressed some important issues that I agree with.


I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.
Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.
Take a good long look at where "Establishment Republicans" ALWAYS take us.



The "Establishment Republicans" can GO TO HELL !

probably

The establishment are not 2 different parties, they are one and the same, the Uniparty. We conservatives are a minority even in the GOP.

Whether conservatives continue to vote for the designated loser or establishment squish or start fielding their own conservative candidates is the real question.

When a conservative runs in the GOP primary in many states they now face an uphill battle against their own party. You should remember how a conservative can find themselves abandoned or defunded by their own party. It is not an uncommon occurrence.

In Mass a candidate for State Senate was ignored at the state convention, even though he had paid for a huge sign next to the stage they ‘forgot’ to enter his name into nomination and thus got no primary ballot spot. The conservative candidate for Governor was almost ignored but fought hard. The people running the place tried to keep him off the ballot by deeming him not getting enough delegates to make the ballot but not releasing the totals. They had lied! He did get enough and it came to light after a months long battle, but the damage to his campaign was done.

In MA the GOPe is as lefty as the Democrats. No two ways about it.

I think so too. I KNOW so. Maybe conservatives need to show the GOPe what happens when they move left. Some of these candidates are as lefty as the Democrats, a few of them even more than the Dems.

Conservatives should not vote for that. In those kinds of places, we need to be forming our own parties and running our own candidates.

I hope any conservative in a place like MA will support people like the independent Scott Lively.

From an earlier thread...

....Cruz Hosts Late-Night Strategy Session With House Republicans on CR (NO LAME DUCK!!)

Earlier in the evening, the House GOP leadership unveiled a bill to keep the government funded through Dec. 11. And the early review from conservatives attending Cruz’s meeting in the Texas Republican’s office was that Dec. 11 is too soon.

Instead, members came out of the meeting saying they wanted the CR to fund the government through March 1.

Pushing the next big spending showdown into March, members of the ‘Cruz Caucus’ said, would give the new 114th Congress, which could include a Republican-controlled Senate, an opportunity to tackle government funding.

A Dec. 11 expiration means Congress will still have to address an omnibus spending package in the lame duck, when, regardless of the election results, Harry Reid of Nevada will still be Senate majority leader.

Another issue members discussed at length was the Export-Import Bank. While many of the members voiced opposition to the credit agency, some said they understood the strategy of eventually decoupling Ex-Im from a spending bill, which the proposed CR does by extending the bank to June 30.

Even Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert said the June 30 date “may be a good thing.”...

With few exceptions the whole government stinks like a 10 day day old rotting body and it seems that we as a Nation will never learn.

It's more important for me to TAKE OUT Thad Cochran by voting AGAINST him, than it is for me to keep the Republican seat in the Senate.
I sincerely hope Chris McDaniel wins his court case, so I can vote FOR him in the General Election.
But if he doesn't, I'm voting for whoever has the BEST PERCENTAGES to TAKE OUT "Thad COCKROACH".

That's a promise that I CAN"T WAIT TO KEEP !

I have had enough from this bunch of RINOs. I’m voting for the best Tea Party candidate available in the primaries. At least I will be true to myself as a conservative. We may lose but I will not give my vote away to a candidate to whom I don’t respect or trust...

Just remember: pull that Republican lever! We certainly wouldn’t want to give victory to a party that supports abortion providers and Obamacare!

Oh, wait...
