The democrats made fools out of themselves because they controlled the House, Senate, and Executive branch and still could not pass a budget last October.

So,what PR battle did the republicans loose on?...Killing women, anyone who fell for that ridiculous line needs to get their head examined. So, what other PR battle did you think the republicans lost on? Think you’v been watching too much MSNBC.

The Senate has passed the CR and gone home. The House is about to vote on it. Technically the government will shut down, because Obama will not be signing it before midnight.

To be honest I don't think ObamaCare will be defunded as long as he's in the WH and Dingy Harry controls the Senate. But we certainly weren't going to get it defunded in some emergency CR to prevent a shutdown.

Well, time to hit the hay...

Now I can sleep easier knowing the Huge Deficit got a itty bitty flea bite munched out of it by this histerical feat of the 545 Supermen that rule Planet Bizarro. /s

The House didn't lose. Just this past week Dingy Harry Chuck U and the other clowns in the senate were calling these cuts extreme and a whole host of other nonsense. Now the Senate has voted for them. Reid and Obama look like fools supporting something just days ago they were squarely against.

Conservative Democrat Doug Schoen on Greta (continuing) says the GOP has ‘Eaten the Democrats Lunch’. The winners were the Tea Parties and the Freshman GOP congressmen, he went on.

A budget deal that trades babies in the womb for Planned Parenthood funding?

This deal sucks but there are more sellouts to look forward to ahead, and to be honest after TARP this is small potatoes (letdown) to me and too many here fell in line behind that (TARP) which to me indicated a truly insane world.

I would have demanded another $20B for the riders getting back to $60B.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NOW BEEN SHUTDOWN!!
(Technically, since the CR hasn’t passed the House or been signed by Obama.)

Yeah, seen THIS movie before, too. This is the part where the guy who beat the crap out of the dog then pats it on the head and says “Good boy, you rolled over! Now, let’s do it again.”

Gee we've been funding Planned Parenthood since the 70s. Where was all this outrage in the past? How many congressman ran on defunding PP last year?

If any real conservatives were not aware of Boehner’s unacceptable flaws, they should be aware of them now.

Boehner and Mitch McConnell are not up to the job. Mitch McConnell likes to talk down into his shirt and make nice with everyone..a go along to get along type. These men have had enough opportunities to prove themselves.

We The People have no more time to devote to the fostering of the careers of these two men.

We have our lives and a republic to save.

It's funny that even Doug Schoen admits Reid and Obama got their lunch eaten by the GOP and that the dims were the losers in this....yet so many here don't.

Amazing......this wasn't the hill to die on...and we still won the battle.
