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.

We voted for principled conservatism in November, and all we got was another bunch of lousy RINO’s.

There truly is only one political party in America, with the democrats leaning a little more left than the other guys.

You are right and I don’t think anyone is exploding but this is an indication that the heat needs to be increased. I will be ‘exploding’ (sounding like it) on the phone with the various committee members.

I haven’t been able to follow this, but I’d bet the establishment RINO’s are behind this.

Either the Tea Party has to completely take over the GOP or the GOP has to be forced to become a 3rd party and the Tea Party become the party of conservatism. This is just unconscionable - NEVER BOTHERED PELOSI/REID/OBAMA TO JAM THIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL PIECE OF CRAP DOWN OUR THROATS, and now the GOP is afraid of a GOV SHUT DOWN? GROW A PAIR or get out of our way.

They aren’t thinking. The only hide they want to save is their own. They’re go along to get along, and that’s how we’ve come to this point.

Being a public servant sometimes means having to tell the public something they don’t want to hear. We’re all ready for the next shoe to drop. Get yourself out of debt, stock up on ammo and non-perishable food items, get some 5 gal. drums for water and plenty of purification tablets and get ready to hunker down.

Everyone (in Congress) has been saying its not possible to defund it all at once. It has to be done a piece at a time. I love Steve King, he’s never in the middle of the road.

Our Republican “saviors” have, so far today, proposed defunding the border fence AND funding Obamacare ...

It’s time we wake up ...

BOTH parties are the enemy. The will of the people has been subverted to the will of the political class. There are no saviors in DC.

Our choices are, 1.) Go “egyptian” on them, or 2.) suck it up and join the new world order.

I knew this was going to be the play. It's not their bill or law to own in their minds. "Well, we gave it the good fight" rationale.

Their healthcare and the rest of Washington does not have to be the same as ours.

Let's all go Egyptian.

Sometimes you just gotta flush twice.

We will all pull the lever again in under 2 years

Mark now which turds are still circling the bowl.
