   Reid obviously won’t allow anything to pass the Senate. That is his problem. The House should continue to send over these bills until he folds. Democrats have no testicular fortitude. If the Senate Democrats shut down the federal government, it will not harm anyone but the bloated federal bureaucrat employees making $100,000+ year. Keep sending the same Planned Parenthood Defunding and Repeal of ObamaCare bills to the Senate.

    I’m going to consider this wonderful news for now. With the evil Reid and Pelosi still sitting in the Congress, I’ll have to wait to see what happens. In the meantime, I thank Mr. Pence and all those who voted in favor of this. A pox on those who didn’t.

    Where exactly is that chorus of “No difference between Reps and Dems”

    If we can gain control of the senate in 2012, there is a lot of work to be done

    This is just the start

    To all the Democrats that voted to fund abortion through Planned Parenthood: Never, ever state that abortion is not public funded through tax-payer dollars. Your party has always known is was federally funded and have always been the reason why it was federally funded.

    Final outcome not-withstanding, this Congressional body did the right and decent thing, according to the power granted it by the citizens of the US. These are the votes we must insist on. These votes divide the sheep from the goats as it were. We can not target our enemies properly until they are properly identified as enemies. Elections should become clearer with more of these votes.

    An unfortunate side effect of this legislation is that the abortion mill (“Women’s Clinic”) down the street from me will have to move to a bigger strip mall, and higher more workers.

    I do agree that the Republicans in Congress need to play hardball even if it means a government shutdown. What I do not agree with is that the only people hurt are government employees making over $100,000 +. I am a government employee who makes $38,000 a year (net). A shutdown will mean that I do not get paid. This is a sacrifice that I feel must be made in order to ensure that our nation gets back onto fiscal footing. I have put money aside for just such an event, but to make such a broad claim is not being very realistic at all.

    Like I said, if using up all my savings to get through a government shutdown so that our nation survives is necessary then I am all for it. All I ask is that you do some research before you make such a blanket statement in the future.

    I love seeing that. It shows that someone is actually listening to US!! Too bad, however, that it won’t get passed. We will need to wait until 2012 when we have control of both House and Senate AND a Republican POTUS in order to undo the harm that has been done. We just have to hang on and survive until then. Probably gridlock for the next two years.

    And with many states considering doing away with Presidential Primaries, to save money, that may just be that much harder.

    Don’t get sucked in by the “defunding” stuff. For one thing, it still has to pass the “Gangs of McCain” Senate and then there is this vote today where most of the House RINOs, including the House leadership including Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy, voted with the Dems to kill the amendment adding the missing $22 billion cuts that would have accomplished the $100 billion promised.

    And once again, Tea Party sweetheart and ethanol welfare queen Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) voted with the big government RINOs.

    We have a lot of work to do. It’s all kabuki theater again. Our side really sucks.

    Find work in the private sector like the rest of us. You will not find any sympathy with me or any other Conservative. $100K or $38K… you have been given a privilege and guarantee of employment and benefits on the taxpayers dime. Try earning money off the trough. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, lost their pensions, lost their homes, lost their savings, lost everything. But they moved on with their lives. I have family members; brothers, sister, mother, cousin who all have been affected. They lost their jobs, but eventually found work they felt they could not perform either physically or psychologically. They work in the private sector just like me. They cannot find a job with any government agency. If you cannot go on with your life, you need a wakeup call. I lost everything after 9/11. I was self employed. None of my outstanding invoices were paid. Those companies folded, failed, went bankrupt. I found three part time jobs then got back on my feet. Back to normal, self employed once again. I don’t participate in recessions or government shutdowns. It’s called self sufficiency.

    There are certain functions of government that are not only legitimate, but absolutely essential – the military, law enforcement and intelligence collection being the primary examples. A government shutdown means that their families aren’t being fed, either. That doesn’t mean that I’m against it, if that’s what it takes. But let’s understand the stakes for everybody, not just the overpaid bureaucrats at the top that we love to criticize.

    Planned parenthood does much more than provide abortions.

    I do not agree with late term abortions, nor that it should be used as a form of birth control.
    Using taxpayer money for abortions is illegal.

    However, which is cheaper:

    1. Raising a child that the parent doesn’t want and has no business raising on the taxpayer’s dime, or

    2. paying for birth control so the pregnancy doesn’t happen in the first place.

    This seems like a no brainer to me.
