In an effort to keep the federal government open and ensure full funding for America’s military men and women, the U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to pass a one-week continuing resolution today that will also preserve full funding for our troops through September 2011. But unfortunately, liberal U.S. Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took to the Senate floor today to blast the troop funding bill, calling it a “non-starter,” and once again threatened a government shutdown. Notably, while Senate Democrat leaders play politics with the troop funding plan, U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) expressed his full support for the measure on the Senate floor today, saying: This bill does everything Democrats have previously said they want. It cuts Washington spending by an amount that Democrat leaders believe is reasonable. The policy prescriptions it contains have been previously agreed to by Democrat leaders and signed by the…

NRSC Statement On Multi-Millionaire Joe Manchin’s Latest Act Of Political Posturing
Instead of calling on his liberal party leaders – who he himself chose to run the Senate – to do their jobs and pass a fiscally responsible federal budget, liberal U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is engaging in yet another blatant act of political posturing. As The Hill reports this morning, Manchin – who is a millionaire several times over – is promising to return his salary to the Treasury if his party bosses follow through on their threats of a government shutdown. Despite his very public pronouncements today, Manchin had no problem pocketing his taxpayer-funded Senate paycheck in December, when he skipped crucial votes on immigration reform and “don’t-ask-don’t tell” in order to attend a Christmas party. Notably, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) participated in these key votes despite an impending prostate cancer surgery. Meanwhile, there are thousands of federal workers in West Virginia who will pay the price…
