TUESDAY MIDDAY--- BREAKING NEWS ON OBAMACARE REPEAL:

TUESDAY MIDDAY--- BREAKING NEWS ON OBAMACARE REPEAL:

The House Rules Committee has rejected Rep. Steve King's proposal to FULLY DEFUND ObamaCare, failing to agree to "protect" King's amendment when it comes to the House floor.

Bottom line -- Republicans on the Rules Committee refused to play hardball to fully defund ObamaCare. By doing so, they are allowing Pelosi's "mandatory" self-funding provisions -- which many say are unconscionable if not unconstitutional -- to stand! This will force this Congress to approve most of the funding for ObamaCare.

FoxNews says King's provision would "cripple all government operations devoted to executing the health law."

DEBATE BEGINS THIS AFTERNOON.

How can a “Rules” committee trump the RULE OF LAW? ANSWER: They can’t. The Health Care Law has been ruled by the court to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Also please explain to any of us how the 111th Piglosi Congress can "bind" future Congresses to spend X amount of money? THIS IS A FARCE - GOP GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND LEARN HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOE LACES.

I wish I had a good 18 day to go protest in DC...

We need more than a flippin' peaceful protest. Let's take a page out of the 'rat's rule book and next time we go to Washington, let's start breaking things. And people if they get in our way. It's time to raise things up a notch. I'm sick of this sh#t!

He is an alcoholic, who cries.

What evidence do you have for these personal attacks? I know I've never seen any credible evidence that this is the case.

Free Republic is not a place to pass false hyper-partisan, personal gossip or disgusting liberal talking points.

Put up some evidence or STFU.

As I see it, we’re between a rock and a hard place. If we jettison the GOP and vote for a third party candidate in 2012, Obama wins a second term. Simple as that.

If Sarah wins the nomination, of course, we can all vote Republican with a clear conscience.

Its call the RinoCrat Oligarchy for a reason...be very wary...

As Gerald Celente of Trends Research Institute often says, and I agree, "We don't have a two party system. What we have is a two-headed one party system that is corrupt."

...And whenever the RNC sends me letters begging for $$$, I send them a letter explaining exactly why I am not going to give them one single penny....

I took a different route. I said send me the bill, yes - I waited for the supervisor and confirmed...blah blah blah...will pay quickly....blah blah blah...when it came I tore it up and trashed it before I even got back to the house from the mailbox...they lie to me - I lied to them.

We don't need no stinkin' evidence. All we need is emotion and we gots lots of emotion to bash everyone that doesn't say and think exactly like us for they are all RINOs and must be kicked out of office and strung up on a pole and spend eternity in that hot place at the center of the earth.

Nothing has changed with the old back room Republican set.

November 2010 meant nothing at all to those bastards.

He is just playing the blame game. Every time he misses another forcast, he says the government did something that he didn't forcast throwing his forcast off.

What we really need is a Conservative leader out front on a daily basis countering Obama and explaining to the American moderates that exactly what caused this debt mess is the Liberal Marxist model of entitlements, Obamacare being the most recent, this coupled with an unfair tax code that allows lower income earners to be bought off with what amount to political bribes offered by Democrats and that these bribes which take the forms of taxes and over regulation are always passed down from the rich onto the backs of the great Middle Class in this country in the form of consumer cost increases and excise taxes.

But where is the next great Conservative communicator?

We can flush all we want but unless the Republican Party establishment is destroyed, don't expect any conservative movement or agenda to survive intact

I don't know about your state, but here in Utah - we flushed the Republican establishment out. We replaced RINOs with Conservatives - next flush will be Hatch and his cronies.

the repubs have asserted that they ‘will not break the rules’.

Even though the entire thing has been tossed out by a judge as unconstitutional. This ruling is their risk free way out of the entire mess.

I'm afraid there's more at play here than repubs simply standing by the rules.

Wow such harsh ad hominem attacks on RINO’s..... So if you feel this passionatley about RINO’s.... How do you feel about the Marxists that actually caused all this mess in the first place? If you remember correctly, this group of RINO’s at least stood firm with the true Conservatives against the Obama agenda prior to the NOV 2nd thumping. Sure we should hold them accountable but save your name calling for the idiot Progressives that are intentionally destroying this great nation.
