Conservatives Stop New Boehner CR That Permitted Funding for Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, Palestinian Authority
By Terence P. Jeffrey
September 22, 2011
(CNSNews.com) - The Republican leadership tried to pass a continuing resolution through the House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon that would have permitted funding for Obamacare implementation, Planned Parenthood, the United Nations Population Fund, and the Palestinian Authority to continue in the new federal fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1.
The bill was defeated 195 to 230 when 48 House conservatives joined with 182 House Democrats in voting against it.
Among the leading conservatives opposing it were Rep. Steve King (R.-Iowa), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R.-Texas), Rep. Joe Walsh (R.-Ill.), Rep. Jeff Flake (R.-Ariz.), Rep. Trent Franks (R.-Ariz.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R.-0hio), the chairman of the House Republican Study Committee, which is the organization of House conservatives.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R.-Minn.) and Rep. Ron Paul (R.-Texas), who are campaigning for president, did not vote.

Nice to see the Tea party representatives standing up to the ineffectual "lets make a deal" House Speaker Boehner.
Whoever is running against Boehner for his seat this next election will get my support.
The "establishment" republican leadership has got to go.
Seriously.

The measure, which narrowly passed early Friday by a vote of 219 to 203, is needed to temporarily fund the government once the new fiscal year begins next week. It also includes $3.65 billion to replenish the coffers of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is expected to run out of money by Monday after a succession of tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and wildfires
Freshman Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) gave an emotional plea for aid for his storm-battered district. "It's heartbreaking and heart-wrenching," he said. "I beg you, pass this relief now."

Yeah let's go through the shut-the-government-down dog and pony show again, cause that's effective leadership.
Screw the folks who got dealt a fierce blow by mother nature. Screw them all.
:whatever:
ETA: Of course it goes without saying that Marino is a FREAKIN RINO who has to go. Screw.Them.All.
:yawn:

I said that months ago. I live in his district and called him out on this site and got blasted as being a mole. Good to see that some of you can now see what others have been saying for a long time. He actually does have someone running against him in his primary, too. He's a 26yr old tea partier who will get my vote but probably lose by 85-15% of the vote. People are just so okay with the status quo that they don't pay attention. Boehner sucks and is killing our party!
