Hey, must be civics instructor. Did the House pass a clean CR (one with no other topics to discuss and vote on) Did they or didn't they? Easy question.
And what part of "no negotiating" does the Tea party not understand?
Why does the house need to? They passed a bill that would fund government. The Senate and Obama are the one stopping thing. How about just going along with the House and then negotiating?
The House fully understand what "No negotiating" means. It means Obama thinkks he is a dictator.
No they didn't, they passed a CR with demands to defund and delay the new health care laws. Democrats in the Senate have been more than willing to negotiate through the normal budget process. The GOP has blocked all efforts to form a conference committee to hash out the differences.
The normal process to Democrats is my way or the highway.
