“I am disappointed Republicans chose to play politics with a bill that enjoys strong bipartisan support...”
But you pulled the amended bill because it was GOING TO PASS!! That’s not playing politics, Hoyer?
Liberalism is a mental disease!

"democrats did NOT want criminal background checks for child care workers"In most inner-city schools, criminal background checks on the "children" who would get the free food would probably result in them being found to be in school, with outstanding Warrants and/or multiple prior convictions/plea deals.
Same can be said for the voters there, too.

Common Sense 1 - Nanny State 0
To: Sub-Driver
Another communists plot foiled. Many Americans are naive nitwits and cannot see that these do good free handouts are destroying our freedom. I always said that at least 1/2 of Americans are fools and 1/3 are hard committed socialists looking for nanny state to provide for them. The cost is the beginning of a dictatorship.

I read elsewhere that there was a proceedural problem with a Senate bill passed earlier. I think it may have been this one. As I understand it,.they added a tax provision to a bill from the House.
The Constitution requires revenue bills originate in the House. Whatever the House passed would have had to go back to the Senate to be approved before it went to 0bammy for signature

“Didnt any of the senators up for election in two years learn anything?”
We have to get that f***ing RINO Lugar out in 12. That sob has voted with Obama dems on almost every bill and/or nominee presented to the Senate. He should be strung up by his neck until dead! Can you tell I hate that pos!

Guess the children will still have a choice of what they want to eat, and not be forced by the Feds to eat just Purina Wookie Chow.

Stupid Democrats couldn’t pass their bill under a privileged rule that excluded amendments.
Kiss this turkey good-bye! Hopefully, its not coming up next year.
