Sen. Graham is pathetic. If the Republican controlled House does not fund obamaCare, it doesn't get funded. It's as simple as that. And there's not a thing the pathetic Obama or Reid or the pathetic Graham, McCain, McConnell, et al can do about it.

This is per James Madison's Federalist 58 - the constitution gives the power of the purse to the people's representatives in the House for the specific purpose of reining in a runaway chief executive and senate. It' our constitutional check and balance on unconstitutional expansionist government.

Dear House Reps: Ignore the pathetic RINO surrender monkeys. We the people have your backs! Do your constitutional duty! Defund ObamaCare!! And hold the line on the debt!! Obama would spend us into oblivion if given the chance.

It can be delayed. And if it can be delayed it can be stopped with a Republican sweep of Congress. I think there’s actual anger brewing against Democrats. The morons are waking up because they are in pain and blaming Republicans is just so worn out.

Jim,

Another correct label for the Surrender Monkies, is Collaborator.

They are nothing better than Collaborator with the Enemy.

I dunno, Jim. Graham might be right. It might be that it cannot be stopped.

But he's wrong about THIS: It *will* stop /itself/. The computer side has been such an abysmal failure, and the medical side looks just as bad, and further, nobody can afford it.

It will collapse the system outright. Therefore, it stops itself -- because the country stops.

And, frankly, that was the plan all along.

The irony: the republicans give up the only bargaining chip they have, and a powerful one, the constitutional authority to decide what to fund and what not to fund, for ‘talks.’ The reason? Because their polling numbers fell overnight. So, in order to salvage reelection they give in. But the people who put them in office are the ones they are infuriating by their lack of cajones. As they found out in the Bush era, playing it safe to preserve your reelection chances ensures your premature retirement from public office.

Some said the Nazis couldn’t be stopped. Others, in the ‘60s, had the slogan, Better Red than Dead”. Graham is on the wrong side of history and politics.

To: Jim Robinson; All

Two things...

I guess it would be too much to expect a serious primary challenge to some of the capitulatiing, feckless wonders from the people in those states...

Second, I find their malaise to be very effective in giving some of those Representatives in other states pause enough to consider saving their own hides, instead of the countries future...

Therefore, I recommend to those FReepers to take note of their Representatives final stand on this issue...This is it, no more...A cave is a cave...

If you do not have the politiccal courage to stand up to these feckless, capitulating wastes of time and space, then I. and hopefully many others do not have any use for you, anymore...I do not care how popular you are...Popularity has no place in this debate, and therefore is not a priority...

Get over yourselves, you can be replaced, one way, or another...That is not a threat, it is a promise...

Those peole that marched on you this weekend didn’t blled for your cush accooupraments in political office!!! They are making a reasonable plea to tell you to keep focused, and not lose your courage and stand up for what is right...

Because if we have to come back...All your park police and other forces will be hard pressed to protect you from that promise...

/passionate rant!!!

“...Sen. Graham to Republicans: ‘Face Reality That ObamaCare Cannot Be Stopped...”

Prohibition was stopped. Took a few years, but it WAS stopped. This can be too.

And while we can’t STOP it right now, we can stall, delay, stonewall, impede, derail, slow, hinder, drag, and any other adjective you can think of.... until such time as our people regain the Senate and the WH.

And ANY GOP RINO critter that gets in the way of that can KMA and should be thrown out of office at the earliest opportunity.

They’re either WITH us or AGAINST us. There’s no middle ground anymore.

Glad you’re back JR...

Graham: Republicans need to surrender so I can get invited to the cool parties again!

Freakin bootlicker, happy to sell us out so he can enjoy the liberals table scraps.

Senator Graham needs to face the reality that he is out-of-office next election.

Another a**hole RINO that thinks he can appear “above the fray” while taking a gutless position on the issue.

Sen. Graham to Republicans: 'Face Reality That ObamaCare Cannot Be Stopped'

Anyone who would make such a statement has ABSOLUTELY NO VISION or is a 110% SURRENDER MONKEY.

In either case... PI$$ on YOU Senator Graham!
