For those who think Fox News is conservative, please read this whole article. It basically spins the story to show that the GOP was hindering the process and Reid gave in to help the disaster victims. There's little to no mention of the Solyndra Scandal and the GOP’s attempt to balance the latest spending measure with a decrease in the wasteful loan program that fostered that scandal.

A good exercise is to read Fox contributor Chad Pegram’s bio. If he isn't a liberal, I don't know who would qualify!

Our leadership needs to be replaced. They have presided over the looting of this country. I want them out. I want them ridiculed and if possible arrested.

Boehner did NOT win this round. This round should not have been fought. By continuing the practice of passing continuing resolutions instead of insisting the Mary Reid pass a budget as the House did, Boehner has surrendered to the half-assed unaccountable spending practices of the democrats.

It’s not a win at all. He should have said “we did our job and passed a budget; we invite Mr. Reid to do his job and do likewise.”

He didn’t win the headline. It’s a Democrat headline to say the Senate did anything. They started the troubles and continued it.

I’d say the GOP and Boehner lost... along with the country.

The House wanted money cut from “green” programs to pay for the spending. Did the Senate vote for that? If not, it is another complete cave by Boehner and another win for the progressives.

In addition, the agency has been able to reclaim unused money from past disasters, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing lack of authority to discuss the matter publicly.

Hey, look what we just found in our pants pocket!
