I imagine conservative House members sought him out as much as he was eager to work with them.
They want to win the battles.
They want to stop the destruction of the country.
They want to do what their constituents elected them to do.
The president used his weekly address to the American people to demand that Congress meet its two responsibilities: “pass a budget on time and pay our bills on time.” Despite Republican attempts to defund his signature healthcare reform law, the president promised that the next phase of the law will kick in on October 1 “no matter what.”
“I will work with anyone who wants to have a serious conversation about our economic future,” Obama said. “But I will not negotiate over Congress’ responsibility to pay the bills it has already racked up. I don’t know how to be more clear about this: no one gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the United States of America just to extract ideological concessions.”.................
You are correct. There is no wall of silence to prevent like minded legislators from talking and planning.
The term to describe the development of phenomenon is leadership.
No Republican has ever failed on the massive scale as Obama. His failure to implement Obamacare is the greatest Presidential failure and display of Presidential incompetence in the history of the Republic
That is to say....... again for emphasis...... The failure to roll out Obamacare in a smoothly working manner demonstrates the Presidents total imcompetence to hold the office
One of the links at the bottom of that page is http://thehill.com/video/in-the-news/323573-gop-rep-house-republicans-tired-of-being-abused-by-cruz which is talking about House R’s being all up in arms about Cruz pushing them to pass the CR in the House and then saying he would back down from the Senate fight. That article is confusing because it’s a week old but talks about Cruz’ plan to filibuster, yet Rep Duffy from Wisconsin was claiming that Cruz was waving the white flag and saying he wouldn’t fight in the Senate. Duffy was complaining that there were days they couldn’t get anything done because constituents were flooding the phone lines asking them to defund Obamacare.
But Cantor is in the House, and he’s the one who was talking about giving the Senate a symbolic vote to cover their tootsies in the Senate. Cruz did everything in his power to get the Senate morons to fight the battle there but they wouldn’t, and it wasn’t helped by those like Coburn and McCain, who publicly derided Cruz and said it’s their duty to roll over and die.
So I don’t know how the House is feeling about this. But the Alinsky tactic of demonizing Cruz and using jealousy and infighting to divide rather than unite the forces who need to fight together is alive and well in the media, and it sure seems like the R’s are being played for suckers because they’re making the tactic work.
We need to tell them to knock it off and engage in the real battle. We already tried telling the Senate R’s and they wouldn’t. Slime-balls. I sure hope the House R’s are made of better stock than that.
There will be two political upheavals in the 2014 election cycle. Rinos will be purged by tea party candidates in the primaries. Democrats will be defeated in the general election.
