On Tuesday, CNN media reporter Dylan Byers said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s choice to skip not one, but two critical Senate votes funding Planned Parenthood is a “sticking point” with conservatives fed up with pretty talk but no action, crediting Breitbart News for highlighting his poor attendance record.

Friday at a press conference at the White House, President Barack Obama defended Majority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Speaker John A. Boehner (R-OH) for not being able to pass a conservative agenda. Obama said, “They want to defund

In what was ultimately a show-vote, the House once again passed a measure that supports the defunding of Planned Parenthood, as the abortion business is under congressional investigation for selling the body parts of aborted babies.

The Senate passed a temporary spending measure Wednesday, sending the bill over to the House for final passage before government funding expires at midnight. The continuing resolution funds government through December 11 and will allow congressional negotiators more time to agree on a budget deal. It does not defund Planned Parenthood as many Republicans desired, and averts a shutdown for now.

GOP primary contenders Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) skipped a critical cloture vote that allowed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan to fund the government, including Planned Parenthood, to move forward without risking a shutdown.

Last week, Democrats led a filibuster of a Senate stopgap measure that would have defunded Planned Parenthood. Eight Republicans did not support that measure, leaving it short of a simple majority, much less the 60 votes required to overcome the filibuster.

On Friday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told GOP legislators he will resign in October. Boehner’s decision was likely prompted by at least 30 House Republicans who had threatened a no-confidence vote, which would leave Boehner in the uncomfortable position of needing Democratic votes to remain in his position.

Republican politicians have spent so long living in an environment controlled by the leftist media that they believe every narrative will be turned to their disadvantage. This is why Republican leadership buys into the idiotic notion that if Republicans fund the entire federal government except Planned Parenthood, and Obama then refuses to sign the budget, they will be blamed for the shutdown. That is not fully true.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says he has devised a strategy to force Democrats to vote on the Iran nuclear deal as is, or face a procedural vote that would make Democrats vote on whether the Iran accord should be tied to the release of four American hostages and the recognition of Israel as a sovereign state.

In a radio interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz slammed GOP leadership, saying that on the Republican side, “We’ve got a bunch of weenies.”

Sen. Ted Cruz continued his commitment to defund Planned Parenthood during Wednesday night’s CNN GOP debate, even if it means a federal spending bill does not pass because taxpayer dollars for the abortion business are included in it.

If elected president in 2016, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul told reporters here he won’t tear up President Barack Obama’s nuclear arms deal with Iran if the Iranian regime is complying with the deal.
by Matthew Boyle16 Sep 2015, 1:39 PM PST0

Senate Majority Leader appears to be taking last-ditch steps to stop the Iran deal, including an amendment that would prohibit President Barack Obama from lifting any sanctions until Ian lets four American captives go, and recognizes the State of Israel. However, McConnell’s ploy is just “kabuki” theater that will punish Democrats for supporting the Iran deal without stopping the deal itself.

GOP leaders in the Senate are feebly complaining and whining about the Democrats’ solid support for President Barack Obama’s nuke-and-cash deal give-away to Iran. GOP leaders will fight hard for goals sought by business groups–such as free-trade deals–but will only pretend to fight for conservatives’ ideological and social priorities, such as pro-American immigration reform, say these critics.
