You’re right and then a tissue.
———Killing obamacare should be a no brainer.-——
Killing Obamacare is not really the issue. How to kill Obamacare is the issue.
Given the current balance of power, there is no effective method for doing so. There is simply not the political power to do so. I understand and am somewhat sympathetic to the argument that the Congress has the purse string power and can take away the money. Theoretically yes. Realistically no. again, There is not the political power to kill Obacare.
Even if the Senate passes the CR minus Obama care money, the President will certainly veto the bill. There is not the votes in the Senate to pass it any way.
There is no difference in the funding bill and the 38 or 39 House bills repealing the act. The Senate ignored them.
The same will be true of the funding curtailment except that everything will cease. The Democrats will never give in, they have the power.
So long as Obama is President, Obamacare is the law of the land. There will never be a veto proof majority.
The only solution is massive bureaucratic failure that induces the population to burn Washington if it the law
not killed. That may happen. The IRS scandal and the Bengazi scandal are far from over.
All that is more likely than winning by the defunding process.
Once more...... Conservatives lack the raw political power required to force the issue
Don’t try to talk sense around here. They think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Then the feckless gaggle that allowed him to continue his limp-wristed reign are ALSO worthless.
If they too refuse to fight for their ideals/thoughts/morals/objections, what good are they to the fight?
Force the issue? Pass the pared down budget and say ‘there you go. That’s our BARE min.’ The DEMS want to close it down, lay it at their feet w/ DAILY reports (hell, HOURLY).
Who am I kidding. This is the same gaggle of feckless jackasses that can’t pass the bills REQUIRED of them before Sept. (you know, actually doing their JOB).
Boehner = Loser.
Republicans with Boehner as Speaker = Losers.
Boehner/Cantor think they are gaming their base by passing these meaningless free standing repeal bills, etc., knowing that Harry Reid will never take them up for a vote. Therefore, they can say “we tried to repeal it 97 times.”
What Boehner/Cantor are scared to death to do is to defund it through a continuing funding resolution, budget bill, or debt limit increase. They know that would REALLY force the issue and then it would come down to whether Boehner or the Kenyan Fraud would blink first.
Boehner/Cantor don’t have the courage to force the issue, so will continue to play the repeal games.
This man has no leadership qualities needed for the position he holds. It shows his mind/heart is NOT solo on America and for which she stands but tore between America and socialism, a curse to any nation.
Being torn between 'WeThePeople' and the enemies of 'WeThePeople' - is the result of too many years in corrupt DC who he made 'friends' with. Yet, he sees Obama exempted 'his friends' from being apart of it. No one can be this blind - so it is DELIBERATE on boehner's part. What IS a slam dunk, should be a slam dunk. He must have some file or lives in fear of them. He's a coward - he made it all about him and not America. Cowards bow to alleviate their burden.
It's amazing how those we are expected to do the right thing do not have the strength to face evil head on. And the reason why evilhas been allowed to implement it's evil ways in America for far too long and the reason we are in this mess. The GOP is weak - there is no Reagan among them. They did tell us the Reagan era was dead because the threat of the 'Reagan spirit' was 'resurfacing. They spoke their mindset earlier and all their actions since made it come to pass. It is ALL DELIBERATE!
Like the debates - they were for show to allow voters to think they had a chance because all they wanted was to dump Obama and NEVER the thought who was the BEST for America. We lost our chance once Romney was given cover while people were voting for 'their flavor' to win. They were too busy cheering and donating to someone 'whose position there' was never to win it. All according to plan.
Romney then went on a bloody lying rampage to take out PATRIOT NEWT AFTER the DEBATES and the one 'whose position it was to take it for the team' would not drop out and give it to NEWT - he cleared the way for Romney. Americans don't want what is best for America - no matter what they say, their actions proved it and talk is cheap. So obamacare is what America will get.
