[Wash Examiner] House and Senate lawmakers have reached an agreement on a $1.1 trillion spending and tax cut deal that will fund the government through 2016 and lift the decades-old ban on exporting crude oil.
House Speaker Paul Ryan announced the deal to Republican lawmakers in a closed-door meeting late Tuesday. A vote on the legislation could come as early as Friday in the House, followed by consideration in the Senate.
The spending bill does not include many of the policy riders Republicans were seeking. It excludes a provision that would essentially halt the resettlement of Syrian and Iraqi refugees in the United States, and excludes language stripping federal money from Planned Parenthood. So Islamic Syrian and Iraqi refugees are good to go, infants attempting to be born here.... not so much.
"A lot of us feel like we didn't get what we wanted, but we got some stuff that we did want," Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., said as he left the meeting.
And how, pray tell, are the DemoncRats going to be any better, charger.
VOTE TEA PARTY!

The Dems aren't any better--their only virtue is that they only stab us in the front.
Of course, voting in the 'Pub primaries is useful, but the counterargument to that is "Thad Cochran".
Over the long haul, I think the GOP will have to be replaced by a true party of liberty. And since it will take time, the sooner that slow, painful process starts, the better.

in politics to get anything you want you must be prepared to give up other things. you blame the republicans for what they gave up, and ignore what they got. if the democrats continue to control the presidency or gain in congress you will get nothing of what you want.
A glass half full is half empty. Your preference for a completely empty glass which you constantly support, puzzles me. Does it mean you are a socialist faker?
