The attempt to defund the Great Pretender's fraudulent health care plan

The Republicans are playing a dangerous game. Their animosity toward Obama is so great they are willing to shutdown the government, delay raising the debt ceiling, possibly further lower our credit rating, and accept turmoil in the stock market in order to prove their points. If they do this self-destructive action they will be blamed for it and the House will be under Democratic control for the last two years of Obama's term. Then watch as Obama further "fundamentally changes the country" unimpeded.

 

Yes because it could not be about sticking to reasonable principles it has to be about animosity.

I would research this more If I were you. This is not exactly correct.

Uh what?

Not a given. A recent poll shows a majority of Americans are willing to see the government shut down over Obamacare.

 

As expected, the House Republicans just passed a vote to defund Obamacare with 230 Yeas and 189 Nays.

And now the vote deadends as it will go no further in the Senate, and Obama will obviously veto it. Luckily, since the person in charge of the US economy is not on the Hill but in the Marriner Eccles building, this entire theater is irrelevant.

Really? You were making so much sense until you said this. From what I can gather from your posts you've been a political observer for quite some time so surely you are aware that the same thing has been said about Clinton, George W, and Obama. They would come up with some crisis to suspend elections. It was mentioned on BB just last year. I'm kind of disappointed you posted this.

 

Here's a poll that shows 43% think it is a good idea to NOT raise the debt limit and that over 70% say it would cause serious harm to the economy.

Yeah, I saw that. We're actually talking about two different things. Your poll is about a government shutdown, mine is about the debt ceiling. What's interesting about the poll I posted is that over 70% agree that not raising the debt ceiling would "seriously" harm the economy, yet 43% are for going ahead with that plan.

 

They are actually connected so much so that they are twos sides of the same coin. Not different enough.

 

That was a good post. What will happen in reality, as you know being an intelligent man, the conference committee between the two houses will compromise on a bill, and in the nick of time, the debt ceiling will be raised.

This is just my opinion, but I do believe what irritates me more than the out of control spending is these buffoons from both sides and both houses as using phrases like "we are rolling up our sleeves to work for you." So what do you want, a gold star for doing your job that you have a 20% approval rate for?

Everyone of them ought to be in prison for treason, bribery, theft of tax dollars, and economic terrorism.

 

Sen. Rand Paul conceded Saturday that congressional Republicans have little chance of stopping Obamacare.


“We probably can’t defeat or get rid of Obamacare,” the Kentucky senator told reporters at a gathering of Michigan Republicans, according to the Associated Press.
