House delays Obamacare as shutdown nears
Politico via Drudge ^ | 28 Sep 2013 | JOHN BRESNAHAN and JAKE SHERMAN

House Republicans forced through a short-term government funding bill that delays Obamacare and permanently repeals a tax on medical devices, setting up their most dramatic face-off ever with President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats. The vote to delay Obamacare was 231-192, with two Republicans voting against the bill, while two Democrats supported it. The Republicans opposed to the bill were New York Reps. Chris Gibson and Richard Hanna, and the Democrats who supported the measure were North Carolina Rep. Mike McInytre and Utah Rep. Jim Matheson.

All the bribery surrounding the original Obamacare bill made it truly buy-partisan.

What was very bipartisan was eliminating the medical equipment tax.

I watched it all last night, and it blew my mind to hear the Democrats speak one after another accusing the Repubs of “hating the President” and that’s the only reason anyone could possibly be against Obamacare. Lie after lie was told by the Dems, but thankfully was rebutted by the Repubs. Despicable and Detestable are the Democrats. Not an honororable one left among them. The Repubs are finally growing a pair realizing that We the People are onto them all if they collaborate to destroy this country, which is the one and only goal of the Ruling Elite no matter what the party.

It’s a small group of conservatives that have tied the hands of Boehner, Cantor (R-Va.) and McCarthy (R-Calif.) — just enough Republicans to prevent the leadership from being able to exert its will.

No bias at Pollutico.

Forced through?

With the vote 231-192, doesn't sound like forcing to me.

It’s quite a political dog and pony show. Obamacare will continue, and so will the debt insanity.
