The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted 267-151 on Wednesday to approve a $982-billion continuing resolution (CR) to fund the federal government through the rest of fiscal 2013 that fully funds the implementation of Obamacare during that period.
The House Republican leaders turned aside requests from groups of conservative members to include language in the bill that would have withheld funding for implementation of all of Obamacare, or, alternatively, that would have withheld funding for the Obamacare regulation that requires health-plans to provide cost-free coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs. …
The Roman Catholic bishops of the United States have unanimously declared that the sterilization-contraception-abortifacient regulation—whose enforcement will now be carried out with funds approved by the Republican-controlled House—is an “unjust and illegal mandate” that violates the “personal civil rights” of individual Americans. …

Thanks for the list. 14 patriots. The rest can go pound sand.
Muslims can claim ‘exempt’ from Obamacare but not Christians
Thanks.
It is truly pathetic that only two Texans voted for shutting the damned US Federal Government down until they pass a Federal Budget, as required by the US Constitution.
These are the only 14 worthy to be called Republicans in the US House of Representatives, as quoted from the above article as follows:
” - - - Of the 151 members of the House who voted against this CR, only 14 were Republicans. They included:
Justin Amash (Mich.),
Jim Bridenstine (Okla.),
Broun (Ga.),
Ron DeSantis (Fla.),
Scott DesJarlais (Tenn.),
John J. Duncan Jr. (Tenn.),
Phil Gingrey (Ga.),
Louie Gohmert (Tex.),
Jack Kingston (Ga.),
Tom McClintock (Calif.).
Thomas Massie (Ky.),
Bill Posey (Fla.),
Matt Salmon (Ariz.),
and Steve Stockman (Tex.). - - - “
Sadly, the other Texans are henceforth proven to be Left Wing RINOs, a shame for all Texans to endure until the National Election of 2014.
First it was John Roberts, now it is Boehner and the R’s in the U.S. House. All is lost.
I can let a lot of stuff slide, but not this. These assholes had the perfect opportunity to slow down obamacare and fix the egregious anti-religion rulings. But no.
Okay REPUBLICANS. No more cash or kind words from me. I’ve had it with you. I’m done!! Henceforth, I will speak strongly against you every chance I get. Including to your faces should I get the chance. Bastards!!
And NO! I do not care one little bit about “why” you did this. You did it. And you’re in trouble.
. . . we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom— and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.Well, here's your problem. This government is "of the people". Americans voted for Obama, the second time with no way of misunderstanding what he represents.
- Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln's lofty hope seems to be in immediate danger. I had hoped that the Republicans would stand up for freedom, but no luck there. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people is flickering like a match in the wind.
