5 Democrats voted for the house budget which made it veto proof. If 4 of those 5 continue to support the budget, then they can override the veto.
It is only veto proof if the dems dont talk them back.. One of my biggest problems with politics is party lines. You can cross them in a generalized vote, but in a veto buster doing so will cause problems.
So when Perdue vetoes this and 4 dems will more than likely not side with the Republicans, what next? The Republicans will not separate the bill no matter what. Then we have to wait until July. I am torn, because my money runs out after June's bills.
No, the pubs just need 4 Dems, the house Dems need all but 3 to prevent it.
That's why I said "continue" to support the budget
Obviously those dems are going to have to take the heat to stay there but they did cross so there's always a chance they'll stay... a chance.

There are five Democrats (Brisson, Crawford, Hill, Owens and Spear) that joined the Republican majority in supporting the $19.3 billion spending plan. That was a 13% cut. The (CR) is a 3% cut. Just saying.
Pay attention to what is being said here people. Laidoffafter50 has made a very important point, which should keep this situation positive. If they voted to accept a 13% cut, not voting to accept a 3% temporary cut for three months would be sheer conspiracy and worthy of an all out riot! ! ! PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY! ! ! CHILDREN ARE SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS! ! ! I HAVEN'T SEEN MY 2 AND 3 YEAR OLD IN THREE WEEKS! ! ! ENOUGH BULL S@#* ALREADY! ! ! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN AT THIS POINT ABOUT EITHER PARTY POLITICS, BECAUSE I NEED TO GET MY FAMILY BACK TOGETHER! ! ! OTHER PEOPLE JUST LIKE MYSELF ARE SUFFERING AND IN EVEN WORSE SHAPE THAN MYSELF! ! ! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! ! ! BUST THOSE PHONE LINES TO LEGISLATORS IN BOTH PARTIES AND THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TOMORROW AND MAKE SURE WE ARE HEARD! ! EVERYTHING HAS ITS LIMIT AND I THINK THE LIMIT HAS GONE OVERBOARD HERE! ! !
Last week I proposed such an idea where a few Democrats could have join the Republicans in overturning the veto the last time around but someone suggested that it would do more harm then good.
It would have settled this matter weeks ago, thats for sure but for obvious reasons that was not going to happen.
Well now I see that this will probably be the case and I hate to tell you so but I told you so.....
Amen I am sick of this all this mess. I am sick of watching my kids eat every other day and may now have to stretch it to one every three days now. We need to be treated as people and not stray dogs and I am tired of it. I want Phil Berger, Thom Tillis, Mr. Moore and all those folks who are out to starve my kids to death in the parking garage in Raleigh. I am sick of trying to be diplomatic as we are supposed to be. I want all of them for 10 minutes and the democrats can throw my bail as I am through with diplomacy and ready for action.
Who is with me the National Guard aint gonna stop me the legilative police the sheriff's dept. the highway patrol can try but it is time to take them all to the woodshed and get it over with. Give your soul to God cause their A$$ is mine.

You still have to think of your family though Greg Things in life could go from downright bad-to WORSE and UNFIXABLE if your acts include violence...I understand totally your frustration, just, think before acting. Nobody wants to see you or anyone else on the news for something that's really out of our hands.
We STRONGLY make our voices heard and known, but as much as it hurts....stay civil brother.
