Boehner caves as expected, Government shutdown averted – Planned Parenthood NOT defunded

crybaby-boehnerCan’t say i’m surprised in the least. Weeper of the House John Boehner is the most spineless Speaker the GOP has ever put out there. Boehner caved on the budget bill, avoiding the government shutdown. He gets a “whopping” $39 billion in cuts, barely 60% of what the GOP promised in their “Pledge to America.” The riders for defunding Planned Parenthood are gone. There will first be a 5 day “temporary” or “stop gap” bill cutting two billion, followed by the bill to fund the government for the rest of the year sometime next week.


The only thing good I can say is that at least Obama and the Democrats can’t hold military pay hostage anymore. Otherwise, this deal sucks.

    It is time for a third Party or get rid of both Speaker “Cry Baby” and Get Along McConnel. Harry Reid and the commie-crats ridicule Republicans on a daily basis and both of these so called leaders say nothing to fight back. I am tired of being called an extremest, raciest etc. McConnell and Boehner can shove it. We need a fighters not cowards.

    What a lost opportunity! Obama and Harry Reed called his bluff; is this what we are in for now? Such a disappointing so called Republican controlled House. Just what will it take before we get our democratic Republic back? I’m afraid to think about it…

    Nothing new here. Bush 41 was a “caver”. Bush 43 was a “caver”. The gonads in the Republican Party belong to women like Bachman and Palin. So far, Boehner, McConnel, McCain, and the rest are “girlie men”.

    I agree as a new member of the Tea Party, I feel he needs to go, we don’t need a guy that knows how to cry, we need a guy who knows how to negotiate. The country is at stake !!!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA
