House conservatives call for stripping aid to Libya, Egypt from spending bill

A group of House conservatives is calling for foreign aid to Libya and Egypt to be stripped from a six-month federal funding bill set for a vote on Thursday.

A handful of lawmakers voiced outrage Wednesday at the Obama administration’s response to the attacks on the U.S. embassies in those countries and suggested the inclusion of foreign aid could influence their votes.

“It makes it easier to vote ‘no’” on the spending bill, freshman Rep. Jeff Landry (R-La.) said at a press event with conservative House Republicans at the Capitol.

The House on Thursday plans to vote on a continuing resolution that would extend federal funding through March, preventing a government shutdown before the election or during a lame duck session of Congress this fall. While conservatives pushed to avoid a shutdown fight, they have also raised alarms about the inclusion of additional welfare funding in the bill.

Kill the aid unless the countries apologize and arrest the mobs who took part in the attacks.

hard to believe we give out candy to ANYONE when we're broke as a joke.

(if your "friends" still ask you for $ when you're unemployed and they have a job are they really your friend?)

“A handful of lawmakers”... bleh. Lots of bluster and then boo-hoo, nothing can be done about the aid, it’s a closed deal. Same old, same old in DC. Now shut up and send more tax money to aid in your own destruction.

“Won’t change until Obama is booted out and we have a real AMERICAN president in the Oval Office.”

But for now I guess Romney will have to do.

Freeze their assets too.

It should be clear now WHO AND WHAT Obama is. He is an internal enemy of America and that long-known fact is now being proven DAILY. Anyone but Obama -— and like him or not, Romney MUST DO. There is no choice for America.

Right on -—they talk the talk but my dead grandmother could walk the walk better than they can. Boehner is an idiot useful as tits on a bull.

Let me see if I got this correctly:

This guy

Egyptian President Mursi

Who leads the Muslim Brotherhood that murdered this guy

and who just yesterday directed these guys

to attack our embassy in Cairo

is going to the White house to collect a billion dollar check from this guy

So that he can buy the latest German submarines

so that he can better attack this guy

Bibi Netanyahu, our friend and allie, who is trying desperately to save his people from another round of this

while trying to talk to our President, all he gets is this

Does that about nail it?

What are we gonna do Ed? Gee I dunno Trigger. I heard rewarding bad behavior gets you more bad behavior, like with our border. But we'll still get our hay and oats regardless, right? That's right, Trigger. Let's ask Boehner. Hey John, how will this vote affect us? Not at all? OK, that's great. Ed, did you see Carol the other day, in that no-midriff blouse? Hubba! Yeah, and Wilbur wasn't too happy about it. What are we going to do tomorrow Trigger? Oh you know, oats and more oats. Same old same-old. Let's take a nap. OK Ed. Man, what a life. I could do this forever. What's stopping you! Yeah, heh. (whinnies, then snoring, farting)

Without knowledge of this, I emailed the best Congresscritter from my County to suggest the same thing.

[kempster]

I can’t see how there should even be a question about this. If you are an American you should want this today!!!

DO IT!!!! Matter of fact, lets kick the ambassadors of Egypt and Libya out of the USA, and use the Egyptian embassy for a pork packing place and the Libyan for a Jewish MUSEUM.

[bcsco]

Sounds like an idea to me...

[Fiji Hill]

DO IT!!!

[Cheerio]

Conservatives? They don’t have a testicle between all of them. They have supported Obama through Boehner over and over.

The GOP must be made extinct and replaced by the Tea Party. Boner is our obstacle today.

Sheriff Arpaio's Commander Mike Zullo Blames John Boehner For Congressional Inaction On Obama!

[AFreeBird]

Yup, that nails it. And pictures even a stupid libtard LSMer can understand.

Good job!

Romney did well.

I have a better idea give the city of Benghazi Libya the Carthage treatment .
Just for grins & giggles & then ask the leaders of the various Arab countries if the would like some of the same. No pussy footing around simple ROE if it ain’t a friendly kill it , when finished not be able to find 2 complete intact bricks let alone 2 bricks still stuck together.
