After some heavy lobbying of Republicans by House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic phone banking by the president and vice president, the House passed the $1.1 trillion federal spending bill for fiscal year 2015 Thursday night by a vote of 219-206. Legislators will hit the cable news shows tonight and tomorrow to explain their votes, but radio host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham is practically daring any Republican who voted for the bill to appear on her show tomorrow.
I think tonight the GOP took a huge step toward losing the White House in 2016. #LossOfCredibility

Where is @RepPaulRyan telling us why this is such a good deal for Republicans? Did any Republican tell us why it was smart?

Open invitation for any House Republican to come on my show tmrw to explain why this $1.1T 1,774pp mess is what WE voted for in Nov.

Conservs must come to terms w/fact that today's GOP is more interested in cutting deals w/Obama than advancing the cause of limited govt.

Wake Up, People. This is not a conservative party. GOP's actions not WORDS are what count. #BigBusiness #ObamaGift #Abdication

GOP Members are more afraid of Boehner than the voters. Bad calculation. Except for conserv stalwarts. Thank you @DaveBratVA7th.

.@SpeakerBoehner was planning to do this all along. Gave Obama almost everything he wanted; shafted conservatives. #disgrace

How much ACTUAL debate on the SUBSTANCE of the $1.1T bill was there? No one wanted to defend this.

The Dems split w/Obama HELPS Dems in 2016. The GOP's war on conservative principles HARMS GOP in 2016. #middleclassrevolt

@IngrahamAngle We'll also be told in 2016 to "hold our nose" again. I've been holding my nose for 6 yrs. I'm going to faint!
