Lacking Sufficient Support, House GOP Leaders Delay ‘Cromnibus’ Vote (Video)

immigration presser007 120414 445x296 Lacking Sufficient Support, House GOP Leaders Delay Cromnibus Vote (Video)

(Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call)

Updated 3:09 p.m. | Unsure whether they have the votes to pass a trillion-dollar federal spending package, House GOP leaders on Thursday afternoon delayed a final vote on the “cromnibus.”

They did so with mere hours to go until the government is set to run out of funding, and just before the House was scheduled to vote.

GOP leaders called a recess to floor proceedings, with a GOP leadership aide confirming “no conference meeting [is] planned at this time.” The aide said “leadership teams are still talking to their respective members,” and noted, “We still plan to vote this afternoon.”

It’s not clear, however, what they will be voting on.

If Republicans can’t resolve the impasse, they could decide to proceed with trying to swiftly move a short-term continuing resolution through the chamber that the Senate could also pass before 11:59 p.m., when current funding expires.

In doing so, they would be throwing away months of hard-fought negotiations between appropriators and dashing dreams of a return to regular order when the GOP takes control of all of Capitol Hill in the new year.

But House GOP leadership may have few other options. After barely winning a procedural vote to bring the spending bill to the floor for full debate and consideration, they realized they were in peril of not having enough votes for passage. Too many Republicans were prepared to vote “no” because the Feb. 27 sunset date for Department of Homeland Security funding was not enough to pacify concerns the cromnibus contained no language to explicitly bar President Barack Obama from implementing his immigration executive orders.

Hopes that Democrats would be able to make up for the short-fall have also dimmed as the minority party fought back “poison-pill” policy riders rolling back the financial regulatory overhaul laws from the Dodd-Frank Act and loosening some campaign finance rules.

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., defied the White House’s call to pass the cromnibus during a scathing floor speech, in which she said she was “enormously disappointed” with the administration.

Republican aides told CQ Roll Call that part of the reason for the recess was to give Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer a chance to whip votes on the Democratic side. A Hoyer aide denied this was the cause, saying House Democratic leadership is not whipping votes one way or another.

Meanwhile, the White House is making the rounds to Democratic members to find some support, while Pelosi continued her campaign against the bill.

In a letter to colleagues sent Thursday afternoon, she continued to crow over Democrats’ leverage.

“It is clear from this recess on the floor that the Republicans don’t have enough votes to pass the CRomnibus. This increases our leverage to get two offensive provisions of the bill removed: the bank bailout and big money for campaigns provision,” Pelosi wrote. “However you decide to vote in the end, I thank those who continue to give us leverage to improve the bill.”

      I like how Nancy has turned on President Boyfriend.
      But Boehner is done, the new Congress should turn him, and McConnell, out of leadership.
      If the Republicans want a chance at the Whitehouse.

  • rainesson

    A bill so long hardly anybody knows what’s in it. The surrender to executive branch rule. Laws ignored and twisted into the opposite of their intent . . .

    Are we witnessing the birth of “national” socialism in America?

    STAND AGAINST BOEHNER, vote NO. Secure the Borders. Defund ObamaCare. GOP KEEP YOUR ELECTION PROMISES.

    • Davy Buck

      “We gotta pass it to find out what’s in it.” Where have we heard that before? With the Republican leadership, it’s always, “We’ll fight the next time.” The “next time” never comes. Lazy cowards.

      • Jack Carpenter

        Outstanding! Let’s all congratulate the GOP Establishment. They managed to throw away the most remarkable electoral victory in a generation in only one month, maneuvering themselves into a position where the losers who got crushed will be making demands to win their support for a bill that effectively ratifies their will through half of their sojourn in electoral exile.

        • Carmels4me

          Bunch of power grubbing Bastards!

          • Lady Liberty

            I guess the Republicans could care less about the midterms and what the voters results meant. Obama and his policies need to be STOPPED, not FUNDED godd@mit.

            just Google for the rest

          • cmdprompt

            1) Not really, lowering the unemployment rate by forcing people out of the workforce isn’t “progress”. The real un-fudged unemployment rate is about ~23%
            2) And how does that help the working & middle class? I thought you statists hated wall street?
            3) You do understand economics right? Force the cost to produce down (wages) and you will get higher exports… duh.
            4) You are out of your mind. O will have accumulated more debt in 8 years than every other president combined in the history of the country.
            5) Yes… too big to fail… and they are now… too big to fail… Its wonderful really, more red tape, 0 percent on savings, banks awash in liquidity doing NOTHING. Resounding success.
            6) Oh, yes. A great victory for the rule of law. Save a failed, bankrupt company by circumventing the law, steal the assets and give them to your cronies. GM was a failed company. They should have let nature take its course.

        • akramden

          They have the worst poker faces ever! Why not pass CR …And then take up the biz of the people who elected their sorry rear ends into office! Is that so friggin complicated?

          • Trail_Boss

            After a period of time things do get complicated for Charles Ponzi. He needs more clients and more revenue to keep the scheme running. If he stop the crimes committed and the cooked books will be found out. So its better for Ponzi to try and become a ruler. Then he has far less to worry about.

        • Paolo Moleman

          They are sellout cowards. This goes for the bright young things we voted for that are coming in nrext year. F**k them! F*** the GOP-e because they are as bad as the vile Dems.

        • Bill

          Dear Speaker Boehner,
          Republicans won the House elections by an historic margin in November.

          Please abide by the will of the voters and run the House as a Republican, not as a Democrat.

          Thank you.

          Signed,
          We The People

            OR IF YOU DONT WANT TO ABIDE JUST SHUT IT DOWN BRAH

          • Bill

            What is truly breathtaking is that every Republican, including Boehner, complained about Nancy Pelosi shoving 1,000+ page bills through Congress that no one had read when she was Speaker.

            Now that Boehner is Speaker, he is shoving 1,000+ page bills through Congress that no one has read.

          • sosmarttoo

          • Bill

            Uh, no.

            Was it your intention to force people to DEFEND Boehner?

            I didn’t think it was possible, but that is what you somehow managed to do. Congratulations on that. You actually managed to make Boehner and company look GOOD in comparison. Stupid commie.

            GTH, the green party is nothing more than enviro-nazi, community organizing/communist agitating pseudo-pacifists controlled by people with the real goal of installing totalitarianism and throwing the human race (or at least whites) back to the stone age. They are a RADICAL leftist wing of the already insane progressive democrats that have gone so far off the reservation no sane person wants to be identified with them.

            “Please abide by the will of the voters”
            So you think that the voters voted for allowing Wall Street banks to take more risks with taxpayers on the hook and to vastly increase the amount of money the wealthy can give to political parties?
            These provisions are about something, but they’re not about the will of the voters.

        • EWS

          2008 and 2012 were bigger and Obama won the popular vote twice. Your greatest election in a generation was won with 30% turnout. Hyperbole much?? Maybe if your Party of Stupid did not overreach and put poison wish list bills backing the big banks and bailouts they would have passed it. You get what you deserve and 2016 is coming for you. Have fun renting the senate

          • Sue Anne Dallas

            I think the Democrat strategy of claiming victory because of the multitude of people who did not vote Democrat is a BRILLIANT move. Please carry that concept forward into 2016.

          • Dave

            And beyond…

          • EWS

            You would think since you can turn your head all the way around you would grasp the concept of low turnout and only old white people showing up for an election to vote against their own interests and then spinning that into some great election victory. Guess not. Please choke on your green vomit anytime lol

          • realistic12

            Racist much? Bet you just wish you’d picked some cooton so you would actually have something to be bitter about.

          • realistic12

            What a racist, low info, knuckle dragger you are…I wouldn’t chalk voter turnout as a win in 2008 and 2012 where a candidate carried 110% of the vote in some places. Just because your people are too lazy to get out of the food stamp line to go vote for your communist agenda doesn’t mean everyone else should be so lazy. You should go back to school and learn some history. I’d bet you wouldn’t even know which “generation” it was the last time Republicans overwhelming won Congress when a socialist crook was in the white house. Apparently it wasn’t during THIS generation. Dumaz

        • Kateme

          Whatever you may think of the Rinos, let’s congratulate the Conservatives who refused to back down – who listened to their constitutuents and voted ‘NO’.

        • Bob Boogie

          The electoral victory has not yet come to frutation, current representatives are finishing out their terms before the new representatives take their seats.

        • libh8er

          For a group of people who make a living off of politics, they sure suck at it. Ronald Reagan’s two landslides mean nothing to Boehner and his establishment goons.

          • jgilman1

            That’s because the Goldwater defeat is what is so fresh on their minds, and their idiots.

        • John

          Look Jack, it’s a process. It’s going to take time for conservatives to regain control of the GOP. We are making progress, but there are going to be bumps along the way. Here was one.

            Time is not on our side.

      • allegra

        Those votes in November were not so that the GOP
        could delay until next spring what they should have
        done today.

        • Bob Boogie

          We voted in november, the republicans do not have a majority in the senate yet because the terms have not yet ended and the new representatives have not yet taken their seats. Unfortunately to pass a budget congress controled by republicans has to submit it to the senate which is still currently controled by democrats.

          • Kaight

            No bigee. Pass a CR now and wait a few weeks.

      • pattycanfly

        yeah we will fight amnesty next year for sure. OH for sure John who would trust you maybe nancy. We see through this dance you and Nancy have going on. Trying once again to hoodwink us. Hey we aren’t stupid like Gruber says.

        • Bob Boogie

          They can’t fight it now, they have to wait until they get control of both houses of congress which we voted on in November. As of today the democrats still contrrol the senate.

      • Doc3

        Pass it as in, “The cannibal passed his brother in the woods?”

        “‘We gotta pass it to find out what’s in it.’ Where have we heard that before? ”

        Oh please, not that again.

        First, you never heard it. You heard a misquote. Pelosi said about the ACA that ““we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” http://www.mediaite.com/tv/the-context-behind-nancy-pelosis-famous-we-have-to-pass-the-bill-quote/

        Second, you heard it taken out of context. At the time, the Senate was still considering the bill and people were speculating what would be in and what would be out. Pelosi was making the rather unremarkable observation that “you” the people (not “we” the legislators) wouldn’t be able to see all the benefits of the bill until it was passed in a final version. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/pelosi-defends-her-infamous-health-care-remark/2012/06/20/gJQAqch6qV_blog.html

          • Forger Trace

            Notice the counties of Texas that vote blue…. border counties with mexico, no surprise there. Same with Florida, Arizona, New Mexico and Cali. with few exceptions.

          • TxCRUZita

            I don’t think you’re a Texan because if you were, you’d know that the entire Texas border with Mexico was blue in the last election for Governor (2012). A lot of that border turned red this election 2014. Just FYI…

          • Forger Trace

            Wish I did live there, believe me… My state is a near joke.
            Good to read about those counties turning red.
            Was only pointing out why libjerks want illegals to flood the US. Map is some further proof.
            If I could pull up roots here, I’d have Texas as one of my top listed states of choice. Unfortunately, I would have to get re-licensed and family is all here.
            Also supported Gov. Perry big time in the primaries, but he dropped out before the primary in my state. :(
            Sure wish we had cloned President Ronald Reagan tho… He was something real great to come from California.

          • TxCRUZita

            I feel bad for California because the problems are so deep it’ll take a real Hail Mary to dig out. The next 2 yrs are going to be really tough for our country. Please know that you are not alone in the good fight. If 2014 proved nothing else, it gave me some solace that my countrymen/women feel as I do. I don’t think Boehner understands what he did tonight. I swear I don’t understand DC. I was young when Reagan was President but I supported (voted) him because my dad did :) Ted Cruz is the modern day Reagan and the most popular politician in Texas. Perry was a good Governor and Ambassador for Texas and well liked, for the most part. But, Texas is Cruz country and he is the best vote I have ever cast! Give Cruz a serious look—he’s absolutely brilliant and genuine like Reagan was. Take care, friend. We’re all on pins and needles together.

      • Bob Boogie

        He has to submit a budget to the senate which is still controled by the democrats. So there has to be compromising with the two parties. After the terms end, and the new senate which will be controled by a republican majority takes it’s seat… then the republicans will have more power to halt obama.

    o Whom It May Concern:

    I am a life-long Republican. I have
    always backed the Republican Congressional, Presidential…etc. candidate. And, I
    am leaving the Republican Party. Because, today I woke up. Yes. I woke up today
    and realized that I was suffering from “Beaten wife” syndrome.

    Like
    many men, I have always been shocked by women that are beaten by their
    husbands, but often take these same abusive men back into their lives. I have
    tried to understand the varied reasons for this decision, but, if I am being
    honest, it still just never made sense. Why would these poor abused women
    believe this man who always promises to change, yet never makes any signs of
    actually changing ?Then it somehow sank in. I AM the abused woman. Only, this
    time it is not some violent mate who hurts me. No, this time it is the party
    that I have believed is the best hope for our nation my entire adult life. I am
    talking about the Republican party.

    All of
    my life, I have believed that the Republican Party stood for smaller
    government. I was wrong.

    All of
    my life, I believed the Republican Party stood for law and order. I was wrong.

    All of
    my life, I believed the Republican Party stood for personal liberty. I was
    wrong.

    Now,
    you may be asking yourself exactly what I mean by writing this. Well, let’s get
    one thing out of the way right away. I will NEVER be a Democrat. How could I?
    The Democrat party calls itself the party of choice, but they are anything but.
    The only thing they support “choosing” is how you deal with an unwanted
    pregnancy. They demand you have NO choice in:

    Whether
    or not you have health insurance.

    What
    kind of health insurance you have.

    Whether
    or not you save for retirement.

    What
    kind of retirement you have.

    Whether
    or not you own a gun.

    What
    kind of gun you have.

    What
    kind of light bulb you use.

    What
    car you drive (MPG rules, remember?)

    Whether or not you want to follow
    your religious view of marriage or follow whatever is in vogue right now as pertains
    to marriage.

    The
    list goes on and on and on. The Democrat Party is the party of FORCE. The same
    Hippies who said “Damn the man” now gladly boss everyone about without even the
    decency to feel ashamed of their hypocrisy. So, no, I will never be a Democrat.

    But,
    back to my realization about the Republican Party….

    The same party who promised me to
    return my liberty by eliminating Obamacare just funded it.

    The same party who just begged me
    to vote for them and therefore stop President Obama’s illegal amnesty for
    illegal aliens just funded it.

    The same party who demanded that we
    authorize the Patriot Act (yup, I’m looking at you, Bush fans) to protect our
    safety, never closed the border, never sent home students on visas from known
    state funded terrorist countries or even acknowledged that Islam was obviously
    at the heart of these activities. No matter how many times the terrorists
    shouted “Allah Ackbar,” we were always assured by Bush about the peacefulness
    of Muslims. And we all looked at each other in confusion…

    The same party who promised to
    investigate the IRS and their illegal political targeting just funded them.

    And THIS list too, goes on and on
    and on…

    Yet, every election cycle I am told
    that I have to vote Republican or watch the Democrats ruin my country further.
    Kind of like “If you leave me, who else would want you?” Every election cycle I
    am told to vote Republican and they will turn back the tide and vote for
    liberty. Kind of like “I’ve changed, babe. I love you.” Every election cycle I
    am promised and promised and promised…… And then they vote and the meaty fist
    of cowardice and the mighty palm of compromise hammer me yet again. So, this
    letter is my Declaration of Liberty from this abuse. I am leaving the
    Republican Party. I promise you this. I
    will not give one penny to the Republican Party. For, even if they ARE better
    than the Democrat tyranny, they are not GOOD ENOUGH for me. Good bye, Republican
    Party.

    P.S. You can win me back. Go to
    counseling. Fall back in love with liberty. Read your Constitution of the
    United States and your Bible. Be who you said you would be. I’d come running
    back. But beware, there just might be somebody better out there who will treat
    us right. Your window of opportunity is shrinking.

    Not my post copy and paste from another writer but my feeling to the tee

    • stafford123

      So, I guess this means you are now a Democrat? Or will abdicate your vote?

      • BC

        no it means that GOP has abused my trust for the last time. And i will no longer be taken for a ride. I am not a democrat but no longer GOP soldier or donating money. I would vote for Cruz and Sessions (Alabama) anytime. NO longer support GOP. TEA TIME FOR ME OR HOME FOR ELECTION

        • MonarchPass

          Then you are exactly what the Democrats hoped you would become. Adult life offers few meaningful choices, most of which are hard. Fact is, no Republican voted for the ACA. Fact is, Boehner’s House engineered the first true spending reduction in recent American history. Perfect? Nope. Better than the alternative? That’s kind of obvious, it seems to me.

          • John Feet

            But adult life always offers us the opportunity for meaningful change. The Republican establishment has left us no room to maneuver within the party. And so, we must now bravely set about “going to the moon before this decade is out”. It is impossible today, but we will make it possible tomorrow. To continue this insanity will not affect change, so we will boldly move forward to a new tomorrow, knowing in the interim that it will hurt in the short term. People who do this today will be called traitors by some, but they are moving forward to a better tomorrow while those that argue the status quo sink in the mire of indecision and compromise.

          • matman13

            AMEN, John Feet!

          • BC

            Boehner promised on thing and did another. You know that they are giving funding until 2017 to resettle illegal immigrants? DO you know that?

            Boehner is that you?

        • matman13

          Welcome to your enlightened position. I reached the same conclusions during the Presidential campaign of 2008. John McCain did not represent me, so for the first time in my life, I voted for a third-party (not libertarian) candidate instead of the Republican. I did the same thing in 2012. If the party nominates Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, or Mitt Romney in 2016, I will do the same thing two years from now.

          If I can offer some guidance as one who’s thoughts have crystallized around this issue for 6 years now, don’t stay home on election day. Your vote, like mine, is the most precious thing we have in our system of government. It is our voice, and it should be used to express our will. If the Republican candidate at any level does not represent you, then vote for a candidate that does.

          To those that would claim this is tantamount to throwing our votes away and ensuring Democrat victories, I would respond by saying that we are in the boat we are in precisely because we have jettisoned principle in support of the lie that any Republican is better than a Democrat. Any big-government Republican is just as bad as a liberal Democrat. The fact that the Republican priorities more closely reflect mine doesn’t mean anything if government continues to grow. At some point, we have to be willing to stand on principle even if that means losing. Otherwise, it’s not really a principle, is it?

      c) help such candidates get elected locally to build a bench of Conservatives to move up into state and national elections;
      d) contribute to organizations such as Tea Party Patriots, Club for Growth, Independent Women’s Voice, NumbersUSA, and others who work toward a Constitutionally sound Federal Government; and
      e) work for a Convention Of States (ConventionOfStates.com) in furtherence of Mark Levin’s The Liberty Amendments.

  • tacairlifter

    This could be a genius ploy by Boehner and Co. Allow me to explain:

    By packing in a porked-up bill with stuff all sides hate, plus wording that begins to euthanize Democratic initiatives, like Dodd-Frank, if so many representatives are against it… then Boehner could say “well, since we don’t have the votes, and time is running out, here’s a continuing resolution”. And, even better, Obama has signed on to the bill.

    If it dies, and a CR is passed, two things would have happened: 1) The GOP gets to punt the budget into early next year when they can hack at it. 2) It de-fangs the president a bit as his party bucked him in a vote.

    If this becomes the outcome, it’s actually quite genius.

    • http://hk-usa.com/ HK21E

      • tacairlifter

        I know, I know… I expected that. But if that is the strategy, it’s not bad. The issue here is simply getting to the 115th Congress. The GOP can’t do anything of substantial impact until then, and a shutdown is off the table.

        • The Abominable Dr. Phibes

    Just imagine Charles Ponzi is in charge. Then you’ll understand what’s happening.

    • THEFUNKenSTEIN

      what is happening?

      • Trail_Boss

        About 140 trillion dollars of debt is happening. Debt that show NO SIGN of reversing course. America is nothing but a giant Ponzi scheme waiting to fall apart thanks to venal and licentious fools in Washington DC.

  • Kim Sanders

    Why did they stop?

    Because …

    According to ARTICLE
    II, Section 4 of the US CONSTITUTION:

    The President, Vice
    President, and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from
    office on Impeachment for and Conviction of Treason, Bribery, or other High
    Crimes and Misdemeanors.

  • teapartydem66

    My rep voted to allow this crap to go to the floor for a vote. I just called him to inform him, Garrett (NJ), he just lost my support in the future. His phone aide was trying to push the “don’t you believe all bills deserve a public debate” line. What kind of debate is there going to be when no one has read the bill? Then he was going to vote against it anyway, what a load… I’m disgusted that I have supported him so vocally for the past 6 years.

    • dnhook

      I told my Congressman that I would support public hanging for any Congressman who voted on a bill without reading it first.

    • bitmap

      I see, so he voted for it before he votes against it. Brilliant.

  • DDAAMM

    The worst part about this bill is the removal of the derivatives trading rules.

    • THEFUNKenSTEIN

      what do you not like about it?

      • Trail_Boss

        You wouldn’t understand and it would be a total waste of time trying to explain it to a goose stepper.

      • DDAAMM

        It puts the tax payer back on the hook because it allows commercial banks to gamble in the wall street casinos (aka markets) again. This is a change the banks so you no it’s bad.

    • An_Angry_American

      Banks shouldn’t be trading in derivatives.

      • DDAAMM

        Investment banks that have no government back stop, yes. Commercial banks, no. Bring back glass-steagall.

    Time for a political combat commander.

    Boehner must be relieved of command.

    Contact your Congressmember NOW and demand they vote NO against Cromnibus

  • Psalmon

    Simple test. Draft the bill so Dave Brat approves. Then we all approve. Has anyone reminded Boehner he’s in the majority?

  • colt triarii

    this is NOT a test of President Obama

    he is a tyrant who will abuse until stopped politically

    Indeed, President Obama admitted repeatedly and publically before he did this it was Unconstitutional–he had no authority

    effect on our economy and the wages of all Americans will take a big

    It ain’t rocket science. Pass a CR bill for only 2-3 months of funding. During that time, take the time (put in the work) to give thorough evaluations and separate funding bills for each major taxpayer expenditure. It’s what we deserve.

  • 2summer4

    It deserves to be voted down for a lot of reasons, but the one that really galls me is the one to remove the taxpayer protection from big banks’ deriviative exposure. If they want to invest in those, taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook if these investments blow up.

    • 2summer4

      Is that the one Pelosi was all unglued over? How is it she “feels” for the taxpayer for once.

      • Kochvilledi

        I believe it is. I don’t know why she “feels” for us, but for once, I have to agree with her and Elizabeth Warren on something. Maybe the fact that it is such a slap in the face to American taxpayers, it was an easy thing to pick out of the hundreds of pages.

    Establishment loses the people win. The so-called no funding, default on debt BS is nothing more than a canard. There have been 18 government shutdowns and never a default on the national debt. If there’s ever a default it will be due to the spend-a-holics who can’t balance a budget and live within their means. Record revenues this year and they refuse to balance a budget and the Senate refuses to pass a budget. How many years are they not performing their Constitutional duty?

  • 0321ReConUSMC

    John Bonehead Speaker of the House now Joins Nancy Pelosi in the most moronic and totally pathetic statement ever made by a speaker of the House since our founding .
    He has to now say …. You will have to pass the so called Budget bill to see what is in it ? It has 6,000 pages in it .
    The reason the facts were hidden the last year ?
    ITS CALLED THE 2014 ELECTION . Just Like with Obama care it is horrible for the entire middle class ,small business and tax payers .
    And great for reelecting politicians with more than tripling campaign donations ,obama care ,big business ,banks ,wall street Billionaires ,Powerful rich lobbyist ,Illegal Invaders and Amnesty.

    The house and senate leaders for 9 months said they would not support the top 9 issues they are trying to pass with Nancy Pelosi strong armed and Obama help .
    The only difference here ? Obama and Liberals in the House and Senate wanted
    1/2 Trillion more than the 1.1 Trillion so called Budget loaded with pork barrel spending to reelect both sides sadly .

  • Psalmon

    congrats to the Tea Party. Your stock just went up.

  • Jimmy Ray, Jr.

    If I get this right, the GOP House is trying to get a bill passed that is supported by the Muslim President and unacceptable to the Senate Dems. Is it because the Muslim President sees this as the only chance before the control of the Senate shifts to the GOP? He realizes he is in a box and it is about to be taped shut.

    If the Dems want something let’s hope the GOP does not give without getting even more in return.

        Yes, until it is done so we all understand what is in each bill,

  • James1754

    This bill is why the republicans got thrown out in 2006, acting like democrats when it comes to spending.
    Now it would be nice if the republican leadership would actually do what the voters elected them to do.

    • JOHNNY COCKROACH

      BOEHNER IS DRUNK. DRUG TESTS FOR CONGRESS NOW!

  • milburnschmidt

    Boehner is all talk and no action. Except for small differences in budget items he could be nancy Pelosi. He will keep up the bloated spending and encourage illegals. I was afraid this is what would happen if republicans swept both house nothing to reverse the train of big government and excessive spending.

  • Just_a_Guy_Named_Joe

    Yes! Good news out of Washington for a change! Yes!

    I called my House representative and both of my state’s senators and told them I was opposed to this traitorous spending bill. I also told them that I’d rather see the government shut down than have this amnesty loving, obamacare funding monstrosity passed.

    So – keep the calls coming folks! Its working. Call your senators. Email them. Keep the pressure on and keep it on high!

    Boehner and the Republican leadership is a disgrace. They were elected in a landslide to oppose Obama’s lawless administration and its assault on American workers and taxpayers and before the new Congress is even seated, they are working with Democrats, rather than their own conservative members, to pass a corrupt piece of legislation.

    The ‘main ” difference between Pelosi /Harry Reid vs
    Mitch McConnell and John Bone head ?
    Pelosi and Reid are is tougher than nails and takes no prisoners .

    While John Bonehead and Mitch McConnell are total Obama ankle holders ,
    liars , ball-less coward and sissies .
    Even though I deplore Pelosi’s and Reid’s politic’s and off the wall statements .
    I admire their fist to cuffs brass knuckles fighting to the last man standing attitude .
    Ted Cruz is the only one on the conservative side Rhino’s leader hate as does the media .

    That makes him my choice since he is the first possible President since Reagan chances to elect a real conservative President !
    Plus he would pull Millions of Legal tax paying Hispanic votes plus the most white votes ever after Obama ,the Media and the far lefts all our race war on white people and America .

    If the republicans want any more of my money they will vote this down. We put them into office to stop this. They won a land slide victory for 1 reason. To stop spending. No Obamacare, no Amnesty. If they stand by principle (and actually show they have some as compared to the Democrats who do not) the PEOPLE will be with them. It is our chance to do the right thing. Some of the congressional delegation understand this …Boehner does not seem to.
    They are afraid of the Media saying they closed it down. MANY OF US WERE HAPPY they did. Most people did not see any impact and it showed how petty Obama was when he blocked the monuments. So pass the bill WITHOUT Amnesty funding ..and let the Senate block it OR let Obama Veto it. THEN IT IS THEM that are blocking the government on the premise that they should get thier way. THAT will come back and bite them as well.

  • Yougetalife

    They don’t have the votes because they want to deregulate wall street again to get another collapse.

    • voltairebutnot

      Yeah, that’s what Dodd-Frank does…saves us from another collapse. Right. It helps the largest banks and hurts local and regionals, and parts of the big boys, but nets them total control of certain markets.

      …and yet Obama is now lobbying FOR the bill.

      You don’t get any of this, do you?

    John Boehner – Leader of the Surrender Caucus

    • Carolyn

      We certainly need a new majority. I pray that Boehner will NOT get the top spot in January.

  • teapartyimmigrationcoalition

    Karl Rove after the 2012 defeat of Romney said that the GOP should ditch the conservatives. This week Jeb Bush reiterated that notion saying that the GOP could win the presidency without conservatives. What we are witnessing is the attempt to rebuild the GOP without us. They hope to replace the conservatives with hispanics. We should accommodate them. We must immediately begin the quest to form a new party with a new leader that is powerful enough to win the Presidency in 2016. We cannot afford the luxury of finding a purist; no, we must find someone who embodies most of our goals, someone who is well known, and someone who is rich. It does take a lot of money to defeat the major parties and wall street.
    Currently, there is only one person capable and with the right agenda and with the money: Donald Trump. Warts and all, he could do it. There are enough dissatisfied voters of all persuasions to form a new majority.

  • Texgal1

    All the double negatives, bans of positives, etc. are enough to make your head spin! Who even understands the printed legislation anymore? (Not that those representatives voting on laws which we must abide by actually read them…!) We need to return to stand-alone issue votes. These mega grab-bag bills will finish off our republic.

    • voltairebutnot

      Proof alone that this country is in decline. It’s Roman Senate-esque really.

    Deregulate wall street again and more welfare for the wealthy.

    Shut down corrupt government, default, start a new government with new Constitution.

    This government is gone due to corruption.

    • voltairebutnot

      Maybe if all people on the right of all stripes somehow left the country, you’d have your utopia, no? Of course, you’d have to tax those left wing elitists “for real” sans loopholes, but other than that, you’d have quite a paradise wouldn’t you?

      Most in the GOP wouldn’t want that, because then they would own it. Now when certain things in the bill come to light, they can claim the DEM’s did it. This isn’t a slap on the GOP, it’s just the reality of our how our 2-party money control political systems operate.

        Well really there is a three party system. One the true conservatives, Tea Party, Constitutionalists and Libertarians. Two the establishment Democrats and RINOs, NWO/ Globalists. Three the leftists, marxists, socialists, communists.

    Nancy doesn’t like a bi-partisan bill. Here’s my question: Did she read it!

    • Rotorwash

      We have to pass it first.

  • OLLPOH

    A h e m…..
    It’s just like the BELOW…
    That they didn’t read and crammed through and voted for and Congressman Amash they ignored his call, his letter to read… Yet, HR 4681 passed Yesterday evening, and they thought they’d have enough distractions
    from DIFI and her E.I. cr4p with CIA.

    This legislation where they no long have to have a Court Order or a Supbeona to turn over the mass surveillance of all our communications…

    HR4681 Sec.309 HAS TO BE RESCINDED because Congress didn’t read it
    and they are using E.O. 3333 to SPY ON ALL OF US, and destroys the 4th Amendment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry Nancy we have no economy now! The banks are essentially nationalized. Record numbers of people not in the work force. Really we are in a depression and only not declared one because we are printing money like the Wiemar Republic of Germany. Bad things are coming people …..soon.

      • Dennis Widner

        Did you just climb out from under a rock.

      • 2summer4

        Boehner won his Ohio congressional election. Nothing the rest of us could do about it. He can be ousted in January by the House.

      • Dennis Widner

        I assume you didn’t vote from your comments… then you have no right to complain..STFU

      • ExNYer1995

        I don’t live in OHIO, so I couldn’t vote Boehner out.

        And a Democrat House is out of the question.

        So exactly what “chance” did I have, a$$hole?

  • bpuryea

    The republicans do not need a single dem vote to pass a bill. What they need is a bill that the base will support. In order to do that, the bill should:
    *Should allow members enough time to read and, I know, what a silly idea, understand what they are voting on
    *Not be for a ridiculous 1.1 trillion dollars.
    *Should use every means at their disposal to de-fund and block both Obama-Care and Executive Amnesty
    *Should secure the southern border by finishing/starting the fence they voted to build years ago and allocating the resources to the border necessary to put a halt to the influx of illegals.
    *Should not have billions of dollars of aid for Muslim refugees
    *Should not have half a billion in aid for Syrian rebels
    *Should not grant the EPA the right to regulate “greenhouse” gases
    *Should not remove provisions supporting gun rights
    *Should not violate spending caps
    AND TOO MANY OTHER REPUGNANT ITEMS TO LIST

    The children are in control, when will we, the voters, put the adults in control?

    • txborntxbred

      The first question to ask…is why did Boehner and McConnell have to be voted for so quickly for their positions before the new congress convened?

  • Yougetalife

    You stupid voters that reelected failures will get more failures stupid. I hope you lose everything. You deserve it.

    • Hopsaregood

      Yep. Obama voters ARE stupid.

    • Dennis Widner

      I assume you didn’t vote from your comments… then ..STFU

  • Yougetalife

    Shut it down for two years and let our President spend the money.

  • All this for a damn flag?

    No doubt the dog rapist illegal aliens will be given amnesty since dog raping is their culture and not considered a crime anymore. Just like Obama apparently thinks sex offenders aren’t serious offenders so they’re back on the streets everywhere. May Obama and the rest of these pigs go to prison and get raped by these piles of zhhht illegals they love so much daily.

    • Hopsaregood

  • cocoon

    So the Democratic Party may cause a government shutdown?
    Very, very interesting, no?

    • maodeedee

      And you think Obama didn’t cause the last one and then went on to shut down agencies that weren’t even effected just so that more people would “feel the pain”?
      You need to be paying closer attention.

  • Rotorwash

    Every Democrat in the House just voted to “shut-down the government”…

    the Republican John Bohener got just enough Republican votes to avoid said “shut-down”.

    Irony.

  • Vilipender

    If Obama supports it then it must be a bill that favors politicians in DC and their big money donors and is horrendous for the general public. How many of those voting have read the bill? Probably only 1% or less.

  • FishinBuddy

    I’m betting it was a liquid lunch.

  • vikings4123

    They think we are kidding. They think we are not paying attention. They think wrong. They were elected with a purpose…to reign in the usurper fraud and the dems. They had best get on with that.

  • DrJayBee

    This is why the federal government and its budget should be small….very, very small.

    • blucord124

  • Pat Mcnulty

    Why would Boehner go for a full Omnibus Bill through fiscal year 2015,that will be voted on by many members of Congress that either lost their election or are retiring, instead of waiting for the NEW members of congress that were just elected in a Republican landslide? I guess “We The People” are just suckers.

    • Fred

      None of the Republicans I voted for said they were planning to shut down the government again (it worked so well the last time). Was that in the platform of the Republicans you voted for?

      • Kaight

        I hope so. I voted for Republicans because I want to STOP Obama. If that takes a government shut down, so be it!! The last thing I want Republicans to do is to compromise with Obama.

      • Sully4us

        None of the Republicans I voted for supported amnesty for illegal aliens.By the way if Obama vetoes a spending bill he is shutting down the government.

  • Kaight

    There is no politician I detest more than Pelosi. And Liz the “Indian Princess” is a fruitcake. So why is the Republican leadership putting a Conservative like me in the position of having to agree with those two idiotic women!!!

    But no Conservative favors more support for the big banks. They’ve already fleeced all of us more than enough. Screw the drunken, crybaby Republican leaders. Get those provisions favoring the banks OUT!!!

    • Fred

      Could you give us a brief explanation of the change to proprietary trading rules respecting swaps. Please highlight how this favors the banks. The same provision passed the House on a bipartisan basis a while back – Reid never took it up (of course he never took much up). There is no slipping something in – it has been well discussed and explained.

      • Kaight

        Well discussed and explained? Perhaps. But that does not make it right. I want the large financial institutions which SHOULD have gone under in 2008, to die as soon as possible. They are freeloading on the backs of the American people! I believe in creative destruction and in elimination of moral hazard.

  • Sully4us

    Yesterday Boehner through the Rules Committee wouldn’t allow a vote on the Mulvaney amendment to defund Obama’s illegal amnesty. Vote NO on the Boehner amnesty bill.

Aren’t you doing everything the President wants? I do not want your so called “leadership”, I want a new Speaker, NOW. You sour the words Merry Christmas! How about “have a nice day”.

    Hey Boehner…. Strap on Nan’s balls and just do a continuing resolution thru January!

  • dude

    Pass the temporary homeland security funding. Revisit it in January and pass an immigration bill with GOP majorities. If you vote on it now, there’s no way it passes. Why are you all rushing headlong into an inferno. Don’t shut down the government. The government shuts down. GOP will be hurt. This is not rocket science.

    • Kaight

      Yeah. Like the last shut down “hurt” Republicans. In the wake of that shut down Republicans made the greatest electoral gains in the party’s history!!!!!!

      Government shut downs only hurt Republicans inside the vivid imaginations of northeastern liberal RINO Republicans . . . . who are actually Democrats unaware of their true political status.

      • dude

        My God. Wait 24 months and see how the GOP does next cycle. There is a hugely different electorate in the midterms vs the Presidential years. Plus most of the seats up next time around at in blue-leaning districts. I’m happy the Dems are out, but I’m not going to be unrealistic about the situation. What exactly do you expect is going to happen here… tons of blue states are going to flip red and they’ll be a bigger senate majority?

    Just imagine for a minute that the democrat party were trying to pass an omnibus bill and the Republicans were withholding support (like Hoaxahontas Warren wanted today). All the media stories today would be about Republican “hostage-taking,” obstructionism, brinksmanship, etc. It’s interesting to see how silent the media has been regarding a government shutdown that’s less than 8 hours away.

    If the democrat party forces a shutdown, will Lieawatha be called a “terrorist”? Will nerobama order all national parks closed, including the open air parks such as the various memorials in D.C.? Will they have fancy “keep off the grass” signs printed? Are tourists going to be thrown out of Yellowstone? Will we have lots of sob stories about how granny won’t get her Social Security check? I doubt it.

    The only way Boehner is going to get it through now is to give up his pet project, the banking issue. So he screws us on immigration, and he gets screwed on that which is most important to him.

    I’m glad to see he’s going to have some real skin in this matter. Watch his donors drop like flies now.

      You’ve got to wonder about a guy that grew up dirt poor(and most of his family still is) and become a millionaire being a pol. Where did all that money come from, Mr. Speaker?

      • J Wolfe

        K-Street, insider trading, US Chamber of “screw American citizens in favor of Mexicans”, etc.

        • Derigitable

          Well, at least the Democrats are useful for something.

    Mrs. Pelosi…You speak of 2008? Where were you before 2008. You have been in Congress since 1993. You served as the House Minority Whip from 2002 to 2003, and was House Minority Leader from 2003 to 2007. So where the F@#K were you all those years as Congress squandered 17 trillion dollars from the Social Security Trust Fund spending the money and leaving federal bonds in the Trust Fund? Where were you when Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were created? Where were you when NAFTA was implemented?

    Are you know admitting your were “Gruber Stupid” from 1993 until 2008?

    Please stop pretending “You are the solution when you were the problem.”

    It appears that the commentators forget that the results of the election do not have teeth until mid January. Between now and then the GOP strategy is to get something passed and then go to work dismantling it once they own all of congress. We are not there yet, so anything that needs to get done wont until after the newly elected congress is seated.

      Government has been running on CR for 6 years. So why the big push for a budget that lasts until September 2015? Because Bone head is for funding immigration. The Chamber of Commerce has paid him well to do so.

      Yes the gop is great at getting our credit rating lowered. Now about leadership not so much.

      • Magnus Phallus

        We have no credit. It’s all paper money.

  • kyrunner

    Typical operations in DC. They wait until the last minute. They then push a bill that is pork laden and then want everyone to vote for it when most have no idea what is actually buried in 1605+ pages of pure crap. So much for the guaranteed 72 hours allowing everyone to review the bill to actually know what is in it. Boehner MUST go!

      You fools wanted this drunk and your going to keep him.

  • JazzDude1000

    Enough with all the political lies and games–both parties!!

  • Yu So Wong

    Bevis: Pelosi said “taint.” Heh heh heh.

  • NotKennedy

    How long would it take to erect gallows, for ‘processing’ six of them at a time, for twelve hours a day? Just bring in a rental crane to suspend the platform and a few rolloffs to carry the waste away. Then, America could enjoy Christmas and look forward to a legitimately happy New Year. Get ‘em gone and keep ‘em gone.

  • hammerstamp

    Boehner wants amnesty for illegals so bad he’ll probably hang himself if the votes don’t manifest for this bill he and Obama are peddling.

  • jhsif
