Some TPers didn't like excessive spending and Dems didn't like the job killing addons the Repubs continue to want in their attack on letting Americans go to work.

Boehner is still trying to ride the Tea Party tiger. He's going to wind up inside the beast.

A message for the Dems: No more being taken hostage! No more appeasement in the face of the GOP bully tactics.

Stand firm, Dems! Make sure the GOP's victims this time around (everyone waiting for help from FEMA) know EXACTLY who to blame for this fiasco- the crazed RW money cult that is today's so-called "GOP"

Looks like the obstructionist Democrats are insisting on shutting down the government and manufacturing an election issue....again.

What else is new?

Do a damn budget and stop with these continuing spending bills.
This would have continued funding 30 days PAST the end of the budget year.
Why ? Do a damn budget instead or we will see lots more "emergency continued spending" bills for all the other agencies that will need money.

You would think eventually the dimwit dems would pull their nannystate heads out of their rears. Guess I should know they don't want to see the truth.

Where in the Constitution does the federal government get the power to have a FEMA?

Why did the House GOP vote down a stop-gap spending bill because it had 3.7 billion dollars for disaster relief funding?

Because they support the democrat promise of paygo?

Because they don't want to unknowingly give money to people in prison again?

Maybe just trying to ensure the money spent goes to where it is intended to?

Maybe being responsible with the income earners money?

Why on earth would i ever need FEMA for any reason whatsoever?
