DEVELOPING: Congressional leaders, with barely an hour to go before a federal government, announced late Friday night they had reached a deal to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year.
House Speaker John Boehner, speaking briefly to reporters after talks had concluded, said the plan was to pass one last short-term spending resolution Friday night to buy lawmakers the time needed to prepare and pass the final budget bill.

Think of the murdered humanity. That sorry Boehner SUCKS!!! This was a set up until everyone went to bed!!! Republicans blink!! republicans blink!! Get these people out of our party. I am Tea Party. I am outraged!!! NO BABY BLOOD FOR THESE BASTARDS!!!
Would you hit it Laz?
The ground to stand on is the debt ceiling, the republicans can just refuse to bring it up, then the democrats will need to start making the deals. A win, win, if they know how to work it. Don’t raise the debt ceiling and you get automatic cuts.
They still have to vote on it.
Laz, Ryan’s bill doesn’t have a chance since Boner caved.
The Dems not passing the budget last year made it impossible to get the time we needed to do a better job. Now we have the time, and a damned good bill by Ryan, and the time to educate the masses on why we need Ryan's bill.
CCCCCAAAAAVEEEEE IIIINNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they’ll cave on the small stuff, what makes you think they won’t cave on the debt ceiling and 2012 budget???
All the demmies will do is crank out the MSM list of “sob stories” and the GOP leadership will cave.
WHY IN THE HELL DIDN’T THEY DE-LINK THE MILITARY FUNDING FROM THE REST OF THE STUFF??????
Speaker Boehner should be called “General Mcclellan”.
If Bachmann will cave to harry Reid, how can anyone expect her to stand up to Al Qaeda?

Barry has been at work for two weeks...if that’s what they call it, and now a vacation...AGAIN.
Is there a rule that CRs have to pass clean? Or can our congresscritters now load this one up with $250 billion in earmarks?
John Boohoo is done. He’s public enemy number 2 next to any democrat. Well, maybe he’s just “number 2”. Either way...done.
Well, if this is how it plays, it won't really matter who wins elections -- Democrat OR Republican OR Tea Party.
There won't be enough America left to worry about.
I'm praying our guys are smarter and thought with more strategy than that!
I know you guys are sick of having to do this, but i just called this A-Holes DC Office and left a message.

If we as a country overspend by $3B per day, and they agree to cut $38B, how does this deal amount to anything other than reducing our future indebtedness by amount one month’s worth?
Forgive my ignorance...would really like an informed answer.
Sounds good - about like "just send up the funding you approve"...
I think the Rs will give in... again. The marxists will do ANYTHING and we've all just learned that the Rs won't. So while this was a minor battle, it sets up the rest of the war.
I hope i'm wrong.
