It’s time for Republicans to USE IT or LOSE ITConservative Review, Jan 18, 2018, Daniel Horowitz
If Republicans don’t score touchdowns when they have the ball, what’s the point of recovering possession? And no, merely avoiding an interception is not good enough.
The Left would like you to believe there are only two choices here either pass a “clean CR†— a continuing resolution to fund the government as it is at present — or give the Democrats amnesty. What about option three — conservatives getting what they want, since Republicans control all three government branches?
It appears that House Republicans are set to pass another stopgap budget bill that will last until February 16 as they work out a long-term budget for the remainder of the fiscal year. But once again, this third CR for FY 2018 contains no conservative priorities on immigration, defunding of wayward court decisions, or cutting off funding for Planned Parenthood. However, it does contain a $31.3 billion, six-year extension of the CHIP program with no conservative reforms. This is another superfluous handout to the big hospital and insurance cartel.
A “clean†CR only means clean of conservative policy.
“Well, at least they are not attaching amnesty,†some might suggest.
Is that really a mark of victory — that we didn’t attach a self-immolating Democrat-majority-making provision to a budget bill while the GOP controls all of government?
