The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a long-awaited budget funding the government for the rest of the fiscal year, though dozens of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle voted against the compromise proposal.
The final vote was 260-167, with 59 Republicans opposing the package -- one House Speaker John Boehner had touted as the best deal he could get out of spending cut-averse Democrats. The bill now heads to the Senate side where it is expected to pass. Final passage would end, for the time being, the recurring concerns about a government shutdown which have loomed over Washington as it limped from one stopgap budget to another for the better part of the year.

My guy Denny Rehberg voted against it. Didn’t think he would, but I’ll still celebrate.
MY representative listened, anyway.
BRAVO ZULU
As did mine.
Will we get all of them with a Dem Senate? Likely not, but we're moving in the correct direction.
Why did Gohmert abstain? Anyone know?
Prayers for Japan

Oops. “To THROW the rest of the bums out”
Sigh.
Billy Long voted NAY
House votes to kill 0 care. Chucky Schmure P.O.ed. Demands Tea Party be ignore. Claims Dems have high ground (standing on a pile of excrement I imagine.)
Can the Tea Party/Michele/West...someone start a House Conservatives PAC and primary the fire outta these spending RINO's?
I know Rep. Bachmann has MichelePAC, but I'm thinking of something that STATES House TeaParty PAC...like DeMint's Senate PAC.
The GOP is finished. Our bank accounts are finished. And America is finished. A very sad day, indeed.
did Shuster in PA vote yay or nay?

The media just loves to hear us knock our own!!!!
Boehner you POS !
House votes down funding of national abortion mill. 241-185. 1 Present (Obama is in the house?)
Time for a third party guys.
It's expected of the dims.
The GOP claims to stand for something.
They don't.
They are lying to you and you are believing them.
They are just another element of the Ruling Class in DC...wearing different colors. They work with their dim counterparts to create a lot of dust and smoke. But when it clears you find $100b is $62bil is $38bil is $352mil.
To top it off, when appropriations are done you won't even see the measly $352mil.
And you support them? Why?
A 3rd party is needed. One which has NO career politicians. Once composed of honest people who are trying to serve the nation rather than themselves.
Nope, just kick the posers out of the one we’ve already got.
