The government's spending authority expires on September 30th. To avoid a government shutdown, Congress must pass a continuing resolution authorizing continued spending. Many conservatives, led by Sens. Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, want Republicans to strip spending for ObamaCare out of this continuing resolution.

Eighty House Republicans sent a letter to House Speaker Boehner on Thursday endorsing this plan. More moderate Republicans, however, are worried that such a move would garner a veto of the continuing resolution from Obama and lead to a government shutdown. Party leaders are concerned that they would be blamed for any shutdown.

Now, let me get this straight.

If Republicans should support funding of the federal government--just without (the much-despised) ObamaCare--and if President Obama should veto that bill, it would be the Republicans who would receive the blame for shutting down the government.

That is what the article is saying, right?

NO. The article is saying that the house would vote to defund Obamacare, the Senate would vote to fund it, the MSM would say that the Republicans are purposely shutting down the government to starve old ladies, create dirty air and water,and because they are racists. And it is Bush's fault. It is all about having enough new media to get the message to the American people. If they hear our message, we win. Probably half of them do not hear our message now.
