Twenty-four Republicans voted late Saturday night to pass a $1.1 trillion spending bill that will fund most of the government through the end of fiscal year 2015, ending a full week of drama over whether the government might shut down.
The Senate approved the spending bill in a 56-40 vote that split both parties. While many Republicans supported the bill, many others were angry at the idea of approving a spending bill that doesnt defund President Barack Obamas executive action on immigration.
Still, most Republicans voted for the measure GOP members supported it 24-18 in the final vote. Republicans voting for the bill were Sens. Alexander, Ayotte, Barrasso, Blunt, Boozman, Burr, Coats, Cochran, Collins, Cornyn, Enzi, Fischer, Graham, Hatch, Hoeven, Isakson, Johanns, Kirk, McConnell, Murkowski, Roberts, Thune, Toomey and Wicke
Pat Toomey caved into Michael Bloomberg and Chuck Schumer to support anti-Second Amendment legislation after the school shooting in Connecticut.
But in 2016 the GOPe political machine including the NRA will gear up and tell us Pat Toomey is great or that the Democrat is worse or some other cooked up pitch so we will re-elect him here in PA.....
