Absolutely True! No way the Republicans can be as bad as the Democrats.

All one has to do is look at the voting record of Republicans and Democrats in Congress to see which party cares for the poor and downtrodden in this country, but there will always be those that try to influence the public by misrepresentation and those that believe such misrepresentation.

There is a big difference between voting for things we can not afford and calling it charity and voting only for what we can afford and still knowing it to be charity. Conservative vs irresponsible lefty stuff.

[h=1]Democrats Victorious As Senate Passes CR That Keeps Planned Parenthood Funded[/h] The Senate bill was supported by all Democratic Senators while the Republicans split 32-20 in favor of the resolution. Two Republican Senators (Rubio and Graham) did not show up for the vote. The House is expected to pass the bill later today, which means that the government will be funded and stay open through December 11. According to The Hill, House conservatives may try to pull one last move to defund Planned Parenthood, “A group of House conservatives plan to follow Cruz and offer an amendment defunding Planned Parenthood to the stopgap when it reaches the Rules Committee later Wednesday.” The effort is expected to fail as there is bipartisan support for clean funding bill in the House. In reality, the Republican-run Congress has remained true to their previous form. They haven’t averted the crisis. They merely postponed to the holiday season. (snip) The extremist wing of the Republican Congressional caucus has once again promised something to their supporters that they could never deliver. Planned Parenthood is not going to be defunded. It was never going to be defunded in September, and it won’t be defunded in December. http://www.politicususa.com/2015/09...passes-cr-funds-planned-parenthood-78-20.html

And I think that is why the Speaker announced his resignation when he did. He has be trying over and over to get the bills signed to avoid a shut down. But our far right Republicans just insist on their votes and to heck with the rest of the Republican controlled House. What they are trying to do is get some Democrats to also get more real about costs and activities. It is not working at all. I say we should just play along till Obama is gone and then try to put some 'money sense' into the Congress once again. It really is the responsibility of Congress to keep the US costs in order but Obama and the Democrats don't agree and would rather see the government shut down that agree to any compromise. Then they will blame the Republicans for causing that to happen.

Soon Obama will be gone and we will have a chance to get the government back into honest work and controlled expenses.

Yeah... and Ya know what is REALLY going to set Republican hair on fire..?? Rumor has it that Boehner is going to pass a ONE YEAR funding of the government... with NO defunding of Planned Parenthood.... before he leaves.... yep... that's right... hahahahahahahahahaha.... all with the help of Democrats.... Omg... too funny... just heard that it's in the works..

If true, that is likely the only way Boehner sees to keep the Republicans from being scandalized for trying to keep the budgets lower against the non thinking spend crazy far left other side.

Just need to out ride this ugly Obama government and then move forward with either side in controlling charge. The way it is going now we will be at $20 trillion debt, or more, before Obama is gone.

What you are not understanding Bob... is Boehner is passing these bills with the help of the Democrats... so how is this "keeping the budgets lower against the non thinking spend crazy far left?" The only way to get sane bills passed for the good of the country is for Democrats to help pass them... the loony right is incapable of reason.

Absolutely True! No way the Republicans can be as bad as the Democrats.

They both are worthless. Both parties scheme to keep the two party system in effect by passing laws making it difficult for 3rd parties, and our media systems go right along with it. Republicans are smitten with their "God given rights" and want us to live by that, Democrats are socialists by design. The last great conservative Barry Goldwater warned us about the religious right taking over the Republican Party, and we didn't listen. We also didn't seem to listen to Eisenhower when he warned us of the military industrial systems taking us over. Good conservatives are a thing of the past I fear. These bozos today, like the idiot from Texas Ted Cruz, are not conservative by definition. They are social engineers, bringing their religion inside your home, and that most certainly is NOT conservatism.

You missed my point. Which was to keep the Democrats happy spending in their usual and uncontrolled way till Obama is gone. The far far right Republicans appear to rather have a fight and a government shut down by Obama, which Boehner has been trying to avoid. As I see it.
