The Republican Party establishment never fails to disappoint. Speaker Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor tried to push through a continuing resolution that would keep funding suspect programs that are antithetical to conservative principles:
An analysis of the CR published by the conservative House Republican Study Committee, said that it “continues funding for the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA), the UN agency known for its involvement in China’s brutal one-child policy. It also continues $300 million in annual funding to the Title X family planning program, which is a prime funding source for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.”
The study-committee analysis pointed out that in addition to permitting funding of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading abortion provider, the Republican-leadership-backed CR also permitted more than $2 billion in additional funding for domestic birth control and international population control through Medicaid and foreign aid programs.
“Note that Medicaid also provides $1.4 billion in family planning assistance to low income individuals,” said the analysis. “The CR also continues to provide international population control funds at a rate of $575 million per year.”
48 House conservatives joined democrats to defeat this bill in a 195 – 230 vote. Democrats voted against the continuing resolution because of FEMA concerns and lack of funding for government motors and environmental boondoggles.
All I have to say is thank God for the tea party. They’re the only ones holding the D.C. establishment into account.
