The Consultants Who Brought Us President Romney & The GOP Senate Majority Oppose Obamacare Defunding

Polling suggests Republicans drawing a line in the sand over Obamacare funding in the continuing resolution would be unpopular with the American public. Instead of trying to find a way to convince the American public this is the right thing to do, the Republican consultant class wants to run rapidly away from the idea.

They have convinced Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner that the GOP must not allow the Democrats to shut down the government by the GOP refusing to fund Obamacare.

It is important to note that the same Republican consultants who oppose a strategy of refusing to defund Obamacare are the very same Republican consultants who worked for years to sell the American public President Romney and worked tireless for the present Senate Republican Majority.

Oh . . . wait.

Perhaps instead of sticking polling up the rear end of Republicans and controlling them the same way Kevin Clash controlled Elmo, we should instead detach the strings and let conservatism go forth selling principle to the American public.

Perhaps instead of listening to the same GOP consultants who spent a billion dollars for the status quo in 2012 convinced that Mitt Romney was the best we could do, we should instead start ignoring them.

I think we should get used to the idea of a President Clinton.

” They have convinced Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner....”

To destroy the USA with the Democrats, and grab as much cash as you can, before the collapse.

And the RNC is wondering why I’m ignoring their numerous letters and texts to renew my yearly dues? Do these people enjoy being the Democrats doormat? Enough already. I switched parties once. I’ll do it again and go independent for good. I’m tired of being a Republicrat or is it a Demopublican. Oh whatever, they’re both the same and they both need to be defeated.

We need to send the following message to the Republican establishment:

“If the United States of America is destined to land on the ash heap of history, it will not be done under the Republican banner.

“Freedom loving, patriotic American conservatives will NEVER AGAIN vote for any “moderate” Republican RINOS. If that means the Democrats are in power, so be it.”

If the Republicans will not toe OUR party line, to HELL with them.

I have said this before. I will continue to vote, I will continue to try and speak my idea of the truth, but we have lost. “Rome” anyone?. there are to many takers that vote to defeat. You can be as outraged as you want but the numbers are against you.If my company said take less or be gone I would take less however there are to many who would say FU. These people vote and out number us. This is the future and I think my grandchildren when they come are screwed.

I would remind voters how the Democrats promised that Obamacare would save money, not cost money, and that the Republicans will not stand in the way of those savings to come flooding in to the Treasury Department.

Shutting down the government is a really bad idea.

With the IRS in charge of Taxation and Obama’care,’ the wealth and health of the LEGAL citizens of the United States of America will become totally controlled by corrupt politicians at the Federal level, IOW, we will be a Communist State.

We need to create as much civil disobedience as legally possible, because our sorry Congressional RINOs will not Impeach Obama for violations of the US Constitution, Anti-Trust Laws, Cowardice in the face of the enemy, or Dereliction of Duty.

Commie Obama will succeed ONLY if the RINO enablers allow him to do so.

Communist Tyrant B. Hussein Obama has no intention of allowing the US Congress to interfere with Obama’s selective implementation of the Anti-Trust violations of Obama’care.’

Commie Obama will use HIS Bureaus, HIS Executive Orders, and HIS Military to “preserve, protect and defend his Commune-Style, Communist Obama’care’ in order to insure the complete financial destruction of The United States of America, and thus fulfill his first Inaugural vow to “Fundamentally change the United States of America.”

McConnell and Boehner are scared of their own shadows.

If they are too tongue tied to explain why we should not bankrupt our grandchildren and turn our healthcare system into a Cuban model they should step aside and let someone else do it.

” With the IRS in charge of Taxation and Obama’care,’ the wealth and health of the LEGAL citizens of the United States of America will become totally controlled by corrupt politicians at the Federal level, IOW, we will be a Communist State.”

We are currently under a dictatorship, with no opposition from the Republican party.

” We need to create as much civil disobedience as legally possible”

Amen!

” Commie Obama will use HIS Bureaus, HIS Executive Orders, and HIS Military to “preserve, protect and defend his Commune-Style, Communist Obama’care’ in order to insure the complete financial destruction of The United States of America, and thus fulfill his first Inaugural vow to “Fundamentally change the United States of America.””

I took that vow seriously. He is well on his way to destroying our economy, our culture, and our freedom.
Boehner has done nothing, and McConnell, in reality., has turned the Senate over to McCain.

If the repubs shut down the government they’re gonna get slaughtered in the PR war. Obama’s got the media in his pocket....by the time they got finished showing old lady’s eating cat food because of no SS checks...retarded kids being evicted on streets...soldiers without MRI’s in Afghanistan....
The Repubs could kiss any chance of getting the Senate or even holding the House goodbye.

There was an article on Drudge that the Obama administration is considering a government shut down over the budget, anyway. The Obama administration knows that the sequestration threat didn’t work, that they were only cutting off their own noses to spite their face, as my grandmother used to say. So, now they claim that they are really going to get tough and are threatening a government shut down rather than continued sequestration. LOL!

I'll take flack for this, but folks, don't push this Obamacare defunding thing. We are winning on Sequester, the President will win the PR war over the threat to shutdown the Gov't. Don't give him an issue!!!

It's the game of politics we're talking about !

“the Republican consultant class”

This is a group of people who have no particular use, save as target practice.
