Looks like Boehner is having a little trouble leading. Some GOP reps aren't too keen on paying for disaster relief funds through cuts to a fuel-efficiency loan program.
Government Shutdown Looms: House Rejects Short-Term Budget Bill
WASHINGTON -- The House on Wednesday failed to pass a continuing resolution to keep the federal government funded past next week, a major defeat for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who was banking on having the votes to pass a package that tied emergency disaster aid to spending cuts.
The bill went down in a vote of 195 to 230. Forty-eight Republicans sided with nearly all Democrats in opposing the resolution aimed at keeping the government funded past Sept. 30, when current funding runs out, and through Nov. 18.
Two factions of Republicans had major problems with the bill as they headed into the vote: Conservative lawmakers wanted more spending cuts, and GOP lawmakers affected by recent disasters were uneasy with the bill's provision that tied $1.5 billion in emergency disaster aid to cuts to a fuel-efficiency loan program.
With any luck, those schmucks might actually follow through one day.Welcome to Tea Bagger America.......threaten a new Govt shutdown or default every month

You really are a joke. This has NOTHING to do with the Tea Party.

It has everything to do with the Tea Baggers......they have created a situation where they prefer to see America in the toilet than do anything to protect our economy. Their simplistic economics are destroying the country

So the Democrats don't give a SHIT ABOUT YOU folks, got it.with nearly all Democrats in opposing
This is fun.
Everything is going to lead to a shutdown now?
But how will Shallow eat? Millions of people will starve if the government shuts down. Shallow will be lost.
I hope so too. It worked out so well for Newt, I'm sure Americans, having become more engaged in politics, will simply love the multiple threats of gov't shutdowns that the GOTea have offered in lieu of any feasible plan to fix the economy and put people back to work. I mean, it's not like they ran on jobs in 2010....right? Good luck in 2012.
Don't look now, Jose but the Republicans are the only ones in Washington putting forth a good faith effort to pass legislation that would improve the unemployment situation. They've got bills sitting on Harry Reid's desk right now collecting dust while people like you complain that they haven't offered any plans.
Offering far-right dream legislation is not the answer. Perhaps you and the GOP forgot; but you only control one house of congress. The Dems have the Senate and the WH. That means the GOP, in order to be a successful partner in governing, will have to compromise, not say "take it or leave it".

Sure...bring the country to it's knees....just because you can

Sorry bub, that isn't how it works. THE People are telling the Republicans, NO MORE COMPROMISING with this bunch of idiots. IF the Obama and his comrades in arms wish to retain their jobs, they might want to think about compromising with the REPUBLICANS. But I hope they don't, so we can see them ALL GONE in 2012...say bye bye

Is this all the left has left? Childish name calling and avoiding any responsibility, despite having control over Congress for four years--majorities in both the house and senate--two of those years with Obama in the Oval Office.
How many pieces of legislation did the Democrat-controlled Congress pass and Obama sign?
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Credit CARD Act of 2009
Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act
Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010
Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010
Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act
Countless pieces of legislation that we are now seeing the results of.
Is that all you have left?

Uhh no. That's not what the people are saying. Try getting your "news" from someplace other than The Blaze and you just might have a clue. I'd say Dems have been doing all of the compromising. After all, according to Boehner, he got "98% of what he wanted" in the debt ceiling deal.

This also showed (again) how they can be a big embarassment to the GOP leadership. This bill embodied the Eric Cantor no-disaster-funds-without-spending-offsets concept and it got shot right the fuck down.

I hope they threaten a shut down every single time the government attempts to spend even 1 more penny.
