By: Daniel Horowitz | September 29, 2016

“What a way for the GOP-controlled Congress to end the legislative mandate given to them in 2014. It can truly be said that whereas Democrats are the Navy SEALs of political combat, Republicans are the NAVY SEALs of political capitulation [As I have been referring to them now for some time: the Capitulation Party!]. They managed to give Democrats everything they wanted in both houses, got it all passed by violating their own rules [Suppose to have three days to examine the bill! Probably didnt have three hours!], and left town to campaign for re-election so they can ... er … well … ahh ... beat Democrats and ... er ... well ... enact some more Democrat policies.

The Senate voted first Wednesday afternoon and passed the budget continuing resolution (CR) 72-26. Only 14 of the 54 Republicans voted no, and presumably, not all for conservative reasons. The 14 GOP noes were as follows:

Corker, R-Tennessee (F, 45%)

Cruz, R-Texas (A, 97% [conservative score from Conservative Review])

Flake, R-Arizona (F, 49%)

Graham, R-South Carolina (F, 30%)

Heller, R-Nevada (F, 57%)

Inhofe, R-Oklahoma (C, 72%)

Lankford, R-Oklahoma (D, 69%)

Lee, R-Utah (A, 100%)

Paul, R-Kentucky (A, 92%)

Perdue, R,-Georgia (C, 73%)

Risch, R-Idaho (C, 76%)

Sasse, R-Nebraska (A, 94%)

Scott, R-South Carolina (B, 89%)

Sessions, R-Alabama (C, 78%)

This bill funded every major Democratic policy priority with no meaningful limitations on a single illegal, abusive, or harmful executive action taken by the president. It contained no limitations or reforms to Obamacare, Planned Parenthood funding, Obamas transgender [transsexual] bathroom mandate on the states, sanctuary cities, or DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or amnesty for children brought into the nation illegally!] amnesty. What was particularly disturbing about this blank check is that the timing of the budget deadline coincided with two new harmful unilateral policies of the Obama administration: the giveaway of oversight over internet IP addresses to a foreign entity and a net increase in refugee admission for the new fiscal yearall on top of the existing increase in refugees from the Middle East during a time of grave homeland security concerns [Why did we even bother giving the Capitulation Party a majority in both Houses of Congress in 2014? 2014 = Capitulation! 2015 = Capitulation! 2016 = Capitulation!].

The budget bill also reflected Obamas spending priorities instead of the spending figures reflected in the Republican budget [Even though the Republicans CONTROL both Houses of Congress!]. It wasted $1.1 billion on Zika funding that was unnecessary and funded Planned Parenthood with those extra funds [I thought a vast majority of Republicans are pro-life? From: http://www.lifenews.com/2016/09/09/speaker-paul-ryan-refuses-to-fund-planned-parenthood-in-zika-bill-thats-something-we-wont-do/ September 9, 2016 “Speaker Paul Ryan Refuses to Fund Planned Parenthood in Zika BillThats Something We Wont Do’” However, YOU DID! You LIED again!]. While one expects compromise with divided government, this blank check was truly breathtaking in completely reflecting Democrat valuesas if Republicans had no control over Congress.

And in fact, things have gotten worse since Republicans won control of the Senate in 2014. Whereas before 2015 Harry Reid only controlled the Senate, now he controls both the Senate and the House [How is that possible when the Republicans control both Houses of Congress?]. At least when Democrats controlled the Senate, the House had to pretend to put up a fight. Now they just follow McConnell’s, R-Ky. (F, 42%) lead, which is Reids command.

Thus, the House rolled over and slammed the bill on the floor without three days to consult with the members. Rather than working with conservatives to craft a Republican bill, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. (F, 53%) and Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. (F, 38%) sandbagged their members with Reid’s, D-Nev. (F, 2%) steaming pile. The CR passed the House by a 342-85 margin. Only 75 Republicans voted no, a mere 30 percent of the House GOP Conference [More Democrats voted for the bill than Republicans. You know it is a bad bill when more Democrats vote for it than Republicans when the Republicans have a majority in the HOUSE! The Capitulation Party capitulated for the third year in a row AS THE MAJORITY PARTY!].

Adding insult to injury, House Republicans also gave in to the final demand of Democrats by passing a massive federalized water bill, which added new programs without cutting existing ineffective programs or devolving programs that are not national in scope to the states. Over 100 Republicans joined with Democrats to add a bailout for Flint, Michigan to the water bill, even though there is already ample state and federal funding to fix Flints water problems.

Then, the Congresscritters summarily got out of town before the night ended. As if to say, ‘our work is done.’

In some sense it would be a saving grace if this was the end of the 114th Congress. If they will not use their power to check and balance the other two branches, at least do no harm. Unfortunately, by having this bill expire in December, Republicans gave Harry Reid one more election-year present—a lame-duck session with massive spending bills and jailbreak legislation. And with December being his last month before retirement, one could only imagine Reids demands of Republicans in order to afford them the privilege of his acceptance of their capitulation [The Capitulation Party!].

Republicans will now campaign in their respective states and districts by inveighing against the broken system in Washington and a Democrat Party that is dangerous for our national security, spends too much money, and grows government. Time will tell if their constituents fall for it.”

The vote in the House of Representatives:

TOTALS ~ yes: 342 No: 85 not voting: 5

The Capitulation Party capitulates once again! That is why I am voting for Darrell Castle for President, Chad Koppie for the US Senate, and me for the House of Representatives in Illinois District 18! All of us are write-in candidates in Illinois as members of the Constitution Party. The only conservative candidates in Illinois for these three offices!

You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.

Vote Darrell Castle for President. The Constitutional Conservative!

I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative.
