Another one.
No matter who blinks first, those that blink WILL be smoked out.
The RINO’s...the same group that caved during the government shutdown in 1995 and gave Clinton a win.
Lemme see now:
A.) Shut down the non-essential, spendaholic Federal Government until the sorry spendaholic Federal politicians give up; or
B.) Shut down and destroy America by approving the funding of America’s death knell Obamacare; or
C.) Be very, very fearful of what the Democrat’s Liberal Agenda Media MIGHT say and write about old-style Republicans who have always before caved in to Democrats?

Even if Reid decides to strip “defunding” from the House Bill, he has to count on all Democrats (or 51 of them) to do so. Seems this is the real Pandora’s Box for the Democrats. If they vote to put funding back into ObamaCare, they are effectively saying “We want this to stay forever”. However, 23 of those Senate Democrats are facing voters next year and many of those 23 are in Red States that Romney won. The last thing they want is a recent record of their commitment to ObamaCare. These Democrats MIGHT have been able to feign ignorance about the consequences of ObamaCare when they first passed it and we didn’t know what was in it. With all of the law’s disastrous consequences now a matter of public record, no such ignorance is even plausible. They want NO part of debates with Republican rivals in campaigns where they have to defend the disasters they voted for - twice. The fact the House voted as it did was - in my opinion - the REAL reason the Senate Democrats and their Progressive Republican bedfellows - is the true source of the consternation all around. These elected officials are now going to be forced to deal with their constituents in real terms. They won’t be able to spin their vote for ObamaCare as an error, much less as something beneficial to hordes of voters who know otherwise. The Left & Progressive Right may concentrate on trying to trash Cruz, but it’s these 23 Senate Democrats who are in the box. They have to vote for this again to keep it alive - which could well destroy their reelect chances 14 months from now.
Ted Cruz never blinks. If they don’t know it it is probably just this that drives them crazy about him and what appeals to those who want them all to do their jobs
1) ALL 45 of them have already voted for it once, in March, 2013!!; and
2) It is almost certain the Supreme Court will take up this issue in the coming year and it is an entirely reasonable position for the feckless GOPe weasels to say that the 0bamacare funding should be put on hold pending the resolution of the case that will soon be before the SCOTUS.
Blink? The Republicans in the Senate have their eyes tightly closed, hoping this will go away.
will?
the GOP leaders have ALREADY blinked.
McCain HATES AND LOATHES the rank and file members. He despises Cruz because it disturbes his officer’s club/country club.
The rest of the GOP “leaders” are suckers for the effete media. (perhaps because so many are in physical relationships with reporters)
The people who are not working to defeat Obamacare are standing in the Middle of the tracks and staring at the train bearing down on them.
There will be no jumping aside once it gets there.
The American people overwhelmingly do not want Obamacare only democrats and other slackers do.
Obamacare has to go through so that Hillary will have something to run against in 2016.
