“54 Republicans vote against House bill to fund government for three more weeks
By Chris Moody - The Daily Caller

The conservative wing of the Republican House caucus took a swipe at GOP leadership Tuesday, with 54 GOP members voting against the House bill to fund the government for three more weeks.
The funding extension is needed to keep the government running while the House and Senate negotiate a long-term spending plan. Eighty-five Democrats joined Republicans to pass the measure.
The bill, which passed 271-158, cuts about $6 billion from the federal budget and will move onto the Senate, where it is also likely to pass, despite conservative opposition in that chamber as well.
Encouraged by conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation and the Club for Growth to oppose the bill, the GOP defectors complained that the three week extension did not withhold funding for the health care law, Planned Parenthood and other programs.
‘I am convinced that a vote for the CR (Continuing Resolution—my addition) is a vote to not fight against ObamaCare,’
Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann said in a statement encouraging other members to join her in opposition. ‘The time has come to take a stand.’
After the vote, Florida Rep. Allen West—a Tea Party-backed freshman member who voted against the measure—said he couldn’t support the bill in good faith.
‘People have to be able to sleep with themselves. I know that I can look myself in the mirror and explain my vote very well to my constituents back in South Florida,’ West said. ‘We have got to start making some of the hard choices and decisions. That’s adult leadership.’
That line—‘adult leadership’—was reminiscent of a comment made by House Speaker John Boehner, who said at the beginning of the term that he would be having an ‘adult moment’ with new members of Congress about spending and the debt.
On the other side of the aisle, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland said the vote was a discouraging sign for the negotiation process between the parties on a long-term spending agreement.
‘You can’t come to an agreement on any kind of compromise with 54 people who won’t compromise with their own leadership,’ Hoyer said. (Who wants compromise on this issue? We NEED to drastically CUT the budget including, but certainly not limited to, ending ALL funding to Planned MURDERHOOD! Does anyone really believe that the Democrats are willing to do ANY meaningful compromises? The Democrats had almost a full year to pass a budget with huge majorities in both Houses and DID NOTHING!!!—my addition)
The Senate will take up the measure this week and must pass it onto President Obama before funding runs out at midnight on Friday.

“Schumer to Boehner: Ditch the Tea Party, join us! (The WORST mistake he could possibly make in this area!—my addition)
By Jonathan Strong The Daily Caller

Top-ranking Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer is urging Republican House Speaker John Boehner to ditch the Tea Party and join a coalition that includes Democrats to work around conservative lawmakers on spending cuts.
‘It is becoming clear that the path to a bipartisan budget deal (The Democrats DON’T want a bipartisan budget deal! They had a year to reach a bipartisan budget deal and DID NOTHING!!!—my addition) may not go through the Tea Party at all. In order to avert a shutdown, Speaker Boehner should consider leaving the Tea Party behind and instead seek a consensus in the House among moderate Republicans and a group of Democrats,’ the New Yorker said in a written statement.
Schumer’s mischievous overture to Boehner comes as a still small, but burgeoning rebellion among House conservatives, including many in the freshman class, is endangering a three-week spending bill designed to avert government shutdown while Boehner negotiates a deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Obama.
Conservatives want Boehner to take a harder line in negotiations with Democrats over spending cuts. (A MUCH harder line!!!—my addition)
Schumer said conservative unease over another three-week spending bill shows a long-term deal between Republicans and Democrats may not be possible. (GOOD! The time for “deals” is long past!—my addition)
‘Republicans’ decisions to abandon the three-week proposal negotiated by their own party’s leadership suggests that Tea Party lawmakers are unwilling to accept anything short of the extreme cuts (They are NOT extreme! Labeling them so does NOT make it so!—my addition) in the House budget, even if it risks a shutdown. (Why is a shutdown a bad idea?—my addition) This is a bad omen that shows how difficult it will be for Speaker Boehner to bring the Tea Party along for any long-term compromise,’ Schumer said. (Again, who wants a compromise with Democrats who could not or would NOT write a budget for almost a year when they had significant majorities in both Houses?—my addition)
Asked about Schumer’s remarks, a spokesman for Boehner sought to put the spotlight back on Democrats. ‘If he’s looking to criticize someone, Senator Schumer should buy a mirror. It is the Democrats who run Washington that have refused to provide any spending plan other than the status quo, and the status quo just isn’t acceptable to the American people,’ said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel.

“Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.” James 4: 17 (NIV)
“So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line ….’” Isaiah 28: 16-17a (NIV)
“This is what the Lord says: ‘Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.’” Isaiah 56: 1 (NIV)
“‘For I, the Lord, love justice ….’” Isaiah 61: 8a (NIV)
“For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to Tartarus putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.” (Whose authority do they despise? GOD’S authority!—my addition) II Peter 2: 4-10a (NIV)
“WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL” Isaiah 5: 20a (NIV)
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5: 20 (NIV)
“EVIL MEN DO NOT UNDERSTAND JUSTICE” Proverbs 28: 5a (NIV)
“Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.” Proverbs 28: 5 (NIV)
“TO FEAR THE LORD IS TO HATE EVIL” Proverbs 8: 13a (NIV)
“To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.” Proverbs 8: 13 (NIV)
“Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.’” Mark 8: 34-38 (NIV)
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)

“Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.” James 4: 17 (NIV)
“So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line ….’” Isaiah 28: 16-17a (NIV)
“This is what the Lord says: ‘Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.’” Isaiah 56: 1 (NIV)
“‘For I, the Lord, love justice ….’” Isaiah 61: 8a (NIV)
“For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to Tartarus putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.” (Whose authority do they despise? GOD’S authority!—my addition) II Peter 2: 4-10a (NIV)
“WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL” Isaiah 5: 20a (NIV)
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5: 20 (NIV)
“EVIL MEN DO NOT UNDERSTAND JUSTICE” Proverbs 28: 5a (NIV)
“Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.” Proverbs 28: 5 (NIV)
“TO FEAR THE LORD IS TO HATE EVIL” Proverbs 8: 13a (NIV)
“To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.” Proverbs 8: 13 (NIV)
“Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.’” Mark 8: 34-38 (NIV)
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)
