Like Cruz, McConnell wants to kill Obamacare.

BS! What has McConnell done to kill Obamacare?

Blame 0care on the dims every chance they get. Whenever they want to improve the situation by efforts such as delaying it ask why did you vote for the damn law. Why did you vote against our funding bill that wanted to delay implementation? Call them damn politicians trying to save their own @$$e$ over the good of the country. Give em h@ll and never quit. Every chance provided condemn the propaganda media. Call them the democrat propaganda media and shame them every time you go on their shows. FIGHT! I know, but I can dream can’t I?

The time to fight obamacare is over.

The damage is already done.

Best thing to do now is just let it implode... the faster the better.

The longer Obamacare drags on, the better chance it has of dragging the economy down with it.

The GOP’s Next Strategy to Fight Obamacare

The GOP’s Patriots' Next Strategy to Fight Obamacare

Given that the GOP Constitution-ignoring RINOs don't have a carefully planned strategy to reach its goals any more than Obama does, I think that patrots need to consider that relying on GOP for anything is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

Alternatively, if patriots and former Obama supporters can get their acts together in time for the 2014 elections, the following may be possible. If patriots can get low-information voters up to speed on the federal government's constitutionally limited powers and elect 2/3 conservative majority control in each House of Congress, then the following scenario is possible.

A super majority-controlled Congress will have the constitutional authority, under Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to overide presidential vetoes. In other words, Congress will be able to repeal Obamacare without Congress's signature.

Lots of Republicans who didn’t stand by Cruz need to be gone.
We also should be involved in Democrat primaries offering fiscally conservative choices when you can’t get a Republican conservative in. Example, California.

Be ready for the McCainonnell “tactics”:
Watch it implode...

But when healthcare.gov breaks, pay for fixes, THEN watch it implode.

But when not enough people sign up, subsidize it, THEN watch it implode.

But when... spend... repeat...

Repealing ObamaCare doesn’t make sense, McConnell/Alexander say, because there are 55 democrats and 45 republicans.

But their plan of repealing and replacing does. Even though there are 55 democrats and 45 republicans.

They are blowing smoke up our _$$. I despise this kind of rino politician who thinks we are stupid.

Got a letter from Senator John Cornyn today (one of those send one to every Texan letters). I had written him one to stand up with Cruz during Cruz's filibuster, and told him if he didn't, I couldn't support him anymore after all the years. I always mean what I say or write, so I wrote him another one today in answer to his. His listed a bunch of bills against Obamacare that he also sponsored but they were just show stuff, not going anywhere and he knew it.

I told him he wasn't there supporting Cruz, so I would vote for one of his opponents. I listed what I had done with the party to refresh to him who I was, and which county which is important. Cornyn was here not long ago.

In fact, almost every candidate for Texas state office was in my county last night and this night for a state wide debate. Right here in Montgomery County. The Tea Party of this county and the Republican Party of this county went together to have this. It took two nights, three hours a night, to get them all in.

If you can believe, it, it wasn't on TV or radio. I inquired about that to be sure and was told yesterday that it would be taped and shown on the internet at some time. When I know it's going to be shown, I'll let Jim R., and Onyx know and the info. will be put on here.

Had our benefits conference call today for 2014.
Keep in mind I work for a very large national bank that employs a good amount of part-time workers, mostly bank tellers.
1st: they admitted that part timers would be thrown onto the exchanges.
2nd: not only do our monthly contributions increase but because of the Obummercare mandates & extended coverage, our deductabiles are sky rocketing..this year, deductabile for hubby/I is $500. Next year, $2500.
3rd: to offset higher deductabiles, our company is depositing $ into an HSA for each employee - starting at $500 per individual, $700 for emp-spouse, $900 for family.
I’ve never used a HSA before. Any tips/advice?
Hope & change!!!

If there are 55 democrats and 45 republicans and that means you can’t do anything, then why don’t you just go home and save the taxpayers all that money. You know, your salary, the salary of your staff, why are we spending that if the math means you can’t win anything.

Right because we can always recreate a healthcare system that has been destroyed and we all know those nice insurance companies will bring down the premiums once Obamacare is gone, right?

> “Appearing on Face the Nation on Sunday, McConnell said, “There will not be another government shutdown — you can count on that.”

You say that because you have Boehner in your camp. But I wouldn’t bet that Boehner is secure in your camp nor in his person because he will be made aware of how damaging his and your actions and views are to the party and to the country.

> “A number of us were saying back in July that this strategy could not and would not work,” McConnell said. “And of course it didn’t.”

Sure, and your strategy was what? Your strategy was to lay down and die wearing a republican lapel pin.

Your strategy was to allow the democrats to walk all over you by causing you to move to cloture where they could have their way with a mere 51 votes while providing you cover to vote against them thereby making you look like a conservative when in fact you are nothing but a Beltway grifter.

Good on you, dearest Marcella!
Your letter must have shocked him silly and now you’ve written another!
He knows you hold sway with a lot of voters.
God bless and keep you.
