Despite a large defection of Republicans, the House of Representatives has just passed a three-week spending bill aimed at averting a government shut down, by a margin of 271 to 158. In the end 54 Republicans voted against it, but 85 Democrats voted for it, enabling it to pass.

Cowardice and turpitude, thy name is Boehner.

This means $105B for Obamacare.

The Establishment wins again. "Nous ne sommes qu'esclaves d'etat."

When the House voted on the current stopgap funding bill two weeks ago, only six Republicans cast a "no" vote to mark their disapproval of short-term funding measures that did not address the entirety of the spending cuts passed by the House.

(Reps. Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul, Steve King, Walter Jones, Louie Gohmert and Justin Amash were those six "no" votes.)
