Dammit. Some House Dems now going along with the GOP's piecemeal funding bills.

1. They'll be DOA in the Senate.

2. i am confused

why and when did it become better to fund the gov't through continuing resolutions rather than proper appropriations bills?

4. I don't know other than they can be seen to be "turning government back on"...

without funding ACA.


The CRs will not be applied to the ACA.

5. in the past the budget was always passed (well, most of the time)

and then the individual parts of gov't were funded through the appropriations process. this continuing resolution mess is a relatively recent phenomena. it is also partly to blame for how we got here...

12. Congress has not passed one single budget

since President Obama came into office. It is part of the puke plan to destroy the president.

3. Take names and...

...kick ass.

6. Oh, just great. People don't make their bills, children go hungry and...........

all 26 Dems are worried about is parks and recreation.

Hope you guys get you're paycheck. And I don't mean the one you get above the table.

10. And the World War II Memorial

GOP offers to help keep WWII Memorial open

8. It's about minimizing the attack ads next year

So cut ''em some slack. The bills are going no where.

[legcramp]

11. And do you think that if the Senate rejects these bills

That will minimize the attack ads next year?

Somewhere the GOP/Repub war room is in full attack mode now.

The Democrats need to get out in front of the parade.

Let me show you something




Add in FauxSnooze's huge lead over MSNBC and who is getting the message out to the largest audience?

Nothing to worry about?

[Gman]

13. Well, I see where you're coming from but

that really doesn't matter regarding the Dems voting yes on the piecemeal budget items. Bottom line is these Dems have to run for reelection next year. If voting to fund national parks will keep an attack ad from being run that says they hate national parks or gives him/her a way to defend themselves, they get a pass. They get a pass because their vote does no harm. The bills considered have no chance of being passed in the Senate much less the president signing them. No harm, no foul and they can play electoral defense.

9. "So... ya see Louie.. we'll just cut off the pinky finger.. you okay with that?"

Maybe next time, we'll go after the thumb ...
