House “Deems and Passed” 1.1 Trillion Budget
Did anyone notice this little magic trick that was pulled on the American people? I found this while checking out conservative blogs this morning:
From Nice Deb
This Congress is lawless….H Res 1500 passed 215-210, Thursday night, another insane, irresponsible spending measure, with no Republican votes.
Jane Jamisen at Uncoverage.net says they snuck it through while our attention was elsewhere….and nobody in the media but Human Events is talking about it:
In what has become the typical late Friday ”data-dump”, Obama/Democrat shellgame, Congress pulled yet another fast one on us late last week. This was also a week before a major holiday, with most of the nation fixated on summer “va-kay,” so the deception was even more likely to be ignored. We have learned the hard way with this Obama administration that when you LEAST want something important to happen, is when it is most LIKELY to happen.
We were “told” by the president of the United States to “look over here” while he gave an “important” speech on his immigration policy. Hearings on the most radical Marxist ever nominated to the U.S. Supreme court were wrapping up. The oil was still spewing helter-skelter in the Gulf, and we discovered even less is being done than we thought. Gen. Petraeus was getting ready to take over the (faulty) Afghanistan war, sanctions were locking into place on Iran.
In the midst of all that, has anyone noticed that there is NO federal budget for the United States but the House of Representatives is spending lots of money anyway?
Human Events reported on the 2nd, when most people were preparing their big holiday weekend:

Then there’s this explanation from Rep Paul Ryan:
The most transparent and ethical congress ever? 1.1 TRILLION dollars that the house can continue to spend by slipping it into another bill and considering it “Deemed and Passed”
Another wonderful part of this “Transparent” action was the vote totals.
The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed.
Surprising Olympia Snowe and a few other RINO’s voted against it…38 Democrats are also starting to catch a clue.
Something else worth noting: There were eight “Congress Critters” that didn’t vote? IF they are dead or in the hospital forgive my comment…IDIOTS. Elected to do a job, and don’t stand and be counted? That’s a very OBAMA-Way to do business…
Here are the 8 slugs that didn’t think this was too important:
AL-5 Griffith, Parker [R]
AK-0 Young, Donald [R]
CA-6 Woolsey, Lynn [D]
MI-2 Hoekstra, Peter [R]
TN-3 Wamp, Zach [R]
TX-3 Johnson, Samuel [R]
TX-23 Rodriguez, Ciro [D]
WV-2 Capito, Shelley [R]
Come on November!
