The Senate on Saturday night approved a sweeping $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund most of the federal government through the next fiscal year, turning back a conservative rebellion against President Obama's immigration policy.

That’s on the point of order that they didn’t vote.

Almost every vote was 4 short of 100 today and tonite. Those Senators must have bugged out.
It is the Washington Compost.
OK if they are not there. I consider present/ not voting an extreme act of cowardice.
I don’t know, maybe I am wrong, but it looks like nominees we didn’t want were approved and 1.1 Trillion in spending was approved. Maybe I don’t get it.
But of course when we have to choose between Hillary or Warren or Mitt or Jeb the RINOS, especially the party loyalists, will lambaste us if we go third party.
“Hold your nose!” they’ll cry. “If you don’t we’ll get Hillary or Warren and the Republic will be finished!”
The federal government is a huge zit that needs popped. Putting cream on it won’t work. It’s ripe so start squeezing.
You dare and you’d be right.
This is what happens when a jackass (obama) and an elephant (boehner) sleep together on and off the golf course.
Disgusting. If we don’t see some major action next month I’d say we should start thinking about recalling as many RINO’s as possible. Is it possible to recall Reps and Senators?
What makes you think the Grand Old Plantation will reverse course and nominate a conservative this time?
Time to stop talking about a third party and start DOING.
So the tone deaf Senate RINOs pulled the obama agenda and amnesty funding bill over the line? Days after the Dems double crossed the House GOP on the deal they agreed to.
Pelosi, Reid and the kenyan are going to run rights around the beltway GOP in the next Congress. Boehner is drunk if he thinks the Dems will help him pass another DHS funding bill in Feb. All these greedy RINOS that just voted to fund amnesty will have to do that again and again. Or the kenyan will shut down the government and blame them for it.
Huckabee really? He has so much baggage and dirt he would never get elected.
No, it isn’t.
the WaPo story quotes Schumer and other Dem senators as thanking Cruz and Lee for allowing them to get more nominations through the Senate than otherwise would have been the case.
Schumer is a liar. But what’s new. They planned to ram the nomination through later in the week but did it now to razz Cruz. Whatever. Yawn.
The GOPe won’t have to take him down.
Conservatives will run Cruz, Santorum, dr. Carson, Huckabee, etc., and split the conservative vote. The GOPe will back someone like Jeb and win. Happens most every time.
Conservatives need to determine which horse to ride early. Otherwise, we get JEBed.
I prefer Cruz right now.
This makes it look like we have 22 Sens who need to be kept.This means there are 78 who need to be voted out. Time to start working is now.
Yup. I said so, too. It was pretty obvious.
We just got done voting in Nov.
I’d like to see the TEA Party people hold their own convention BEFORE the primary season begins, and settle on just one candidate to run in the GOP primaries.
A conservative vote split in four or more directions, like you said, would throw the primaries to Jeb or some other RINO.
Conservative lion Pat Roberts is a yea on the omnibus? I’m Shocked. Let me guess, we won’t be hearing from his fan club again now that he is safely reelected.
