Future battles onThesource.com loom after budget deal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 11, 2011 -- Potential Republican presidential contenders this weekend took a wide range of positions on the deal that prevented the near-shutdown of the federal government Friday, but nearly all warned of bigger budget battles in the near future.
The agreement between leaders allowed for a six-day stopgap bill that prevented the government from shutting down in exchange for $38.5 billion in cuts to the budget this year.

For some conservative Republicans, particularly those involved in the Tea Party movement, the deal did not cut nearly enough.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin came out strongly against the deal struck late Friday night between President Obama, Senate Democrats and House Republicans.

Bachmann called the deal a disappointment. "Sadly, we're missing the mandate given us by voters last November, and for that reason, I voted against the continuing resolution," she said in a statement Saturday.

Throughout the budget negotiations, Palin urged Republicans, "don't retreat!" via Twitter and to shut down the government if cuts to Planned Parenthood and other Republican demands were not met.

Palin told Fox Newson Saturday that the Tea Party was not satisfied by the deal but was ready to engage on fights over the debt ceiling down the road.
