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.

EBH posts - “The Health Care Law has been ruled by the court to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Therefore it “has no standing” in any government budget bill!”

I think you have a VERY good foundation to build an email on there FRiend.

Lord, give us strength.

I fully expect to see Boehner at some point break down crying about the “women and children” who might “suffer” if any of their precious government healthcare is cut off.

SO disappointed in the pile of junk we got from this election.

You are wasting your time. They won't listen. Just like they are ignoring the recent Appellate Court judicial ruling.

This outcome was absolutely predictable.

Its becoming clear where the establishment republicans come down in all this.

Don't hold much value judgments from the Republicans. Most of them are equally corrupt and do not value the Constitution.

This man is not a true Republican. He is a RINO and will screw us, every opportunity he gets. Further, he is unstable.

Rep Virginia Foxx is apparently more concerned about avoiding the attacks from Dims and the media if they were to change the rules or override the rules than she is about the destruction of the USA by Obamacare.

My Letter to the chairman:

“Dear Congressman Dreier,

Why is your committee agreeing to fund Obamacare, when a Federal Judge has already ruled it unconstitutional?

Regards,”

"...he has "lots of other opportunities" to offer a similar amendment to other bills this year."

Are all those other bills "must pass" as this one is? Don't think so and they will be promptly veto. Meanwhile the spending on OC continues and it’s provisions metastasize big-time and wrap it's socialist tentacles in every facet of our economy. If they don't do it now, it will never be done. It's kick the can time again for the RINOs.

I try to be optimistic but it's getting harder and harder and today, especially, it's pretty tough.
