"Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt"
How's that worked out so far, Chuckie?
Maybe we should use that tactic on gun rights as well.
Is that how the Democrats get almost everything they want?
Krauthammer is wrong on occasion. This is one of those occasions.
Voters respect courage and courageous acts. The bipartisan vote in the House is supported by common sense and reflects the will of the people.
Obamacare is immensely unpopular among Democrats and Republicans. Forcing a destructive and counterproductive law that cannot be implemented as written, a complex and unfair law that was passed without even reading it, needs to be dispatched.
The corrupt and unpopular Senate will do all it can to blame the Republicans. I do not think that old, used tactic will work this time.
The Senate Democrats would be punishing via a government shutdown, and then punishing again its constituents by force feeding them against their will another failed, economically destructive program.
Kraut should stick to practice of medicine. Politics isn’t his “A” game..
Judge Napolitano & the Constitution
Right-eo. And make the little tyrant scream "Extortion!"
As Clinton said when he left office, "They have the microphone now."
Krauthammer, the Stopped Clock, is right on this one. Obamacare’s implementation will kill the Democrats for at least a generation. Suspend it, send the bill to Obama and the Democrat-run Senate. Let them choose, on a clean bill, to keep it running.
It’s a mess (for progressives and the Democratic Party), and we should be enjoying it.
Chuckie talks a big game but always advocates doing nothing. He’s a talking head, nothing more.
Krauthammer is being elitist here.
I can agree with him on a lot of issues but I do think he’s a Neo-Con.
"Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt"
"Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt"
Sometimes Krauthammer’s INTELLECT seems to reflect his physical condition, that of being paralyzed.
He may be right, but only because the liberal elitist media will lie for O and create a narrative where the GOP are the bad guys starving the poor, women and children. Nevertheless, I support their actions. I’d rather go down fighting than sit by idly letting Obamacare destroy what’s left of our economy.
The republicans lost last time because 1) they were bragging about shutting down the government and 2) they blinked when they were in the position of power.
In this case, first of all Obama is the one shutting down the government. Second, since this won't make it through the senate anyway, it is little more than a protest vote. Finally, the stupid law is hated anyway. This isn't some nebulous stand on principle no one understands by a bunch of hypocrites who don't have the principle in the first place.
Mr. Krauthammer is an educated journalist and a respectable man in his profession, and yet he does not seem to understand the gravity of this situation as so many well paid and all overpaid politicians and staffers and DC talking heads can not understand. Obama nation care is an attack on the US Constitution and the Bill of rights and this is the reason it must be overturned as it will and already is destroying both the liberties and rights and economy of our beloved America and is making a whore out of a once great nation. The talking heads just can not see how important it is that the GOP make a stand on the defeat of Obamacare and all the evil done by it; it is indeed a hill worth fighting and dying for.
It’s always sort of mystifying to hear the likes of O’Reilly, as he did tonight, bemoan the fact that “the press will play this as the Republicans have shut down the government and they’ll be slaughtered” - O’Reilly is part of the press, and a major part - why does he so doubt that what he has to say won’t register with the public as much as, say, what Piers Morgan or Wolf Blitzer peddles? - Rush Limbaugh reaches twice as many listeners every day as do NBC, CBS, and ABC newscasts - won’t this help? - to simply give up every time with the fatalistic plaint that the other side will have their say and ours is helpless is the way to permanent impotence......
Kraut hammer, the guy who in 2008 thought Obama was a really terrific candidate and likely voters for him.
Pfffft....
At some point you need to just stand up and do what’s right for the Republic rather than be constantly tossed about by anchorless babble.
It is quite simple and EVERY republican needs to stated this again and again in EVERY news form.
“Our people are willing to fund the government just not Obamacare, where is their compromise?”
How does sour Krauthammer taste on sushi?
He should’ve stayed with psychiatry.
Ex democrat ...
I am old enough to know most of the GOP establishment would have been traditional democrats during Reagan
which is exactly what Krauthammer was btw...
yes Virginia there was a time when there were reasonable democrats who were social conservatives and strong on national defense and not progressives
but that train left the station with Sam Nunn more or less
He almost got it right with the "Kabuki" remark - the real kabuki is the "lipstick-on-a-pig" disaster of ObamaCares-not-a-whit-about-the-unwashed. The defunding would be like Mimi using a gallon of Noxzema.
