If Republicans pass CR defunding Obamacare,will Dems shutdown govt rather than agree?

[Little-Acorn]

Sounds like a government shutdown is coming. We've already hit the National Debt limit last May, governemnt big-spenders are draining all the Federal retirement accounts to keep buying the votes they need, and they even will run out of THAT cash in less than two months.

Some Republicans are talking about passing a Continuing Resolution to keep the government going, that does not provide funding for all the new functions and enforcement of Obamacare. Democrats have said they won't even consider such a thing.

Will the Democrats really shut down the Federal government over this issue?

Boehner: 'No decisions' made on whether House will defund Obamacare

Boehner: 'No decisions' made on whether House will defund Obamacare

There is a movement brewing among conservative Republicans to insist that the federal health care law known as Obamacare be defunded as part of an agreement to keep the government running. But House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday was noncommittal when asked if the House would pursue a bill that strips funding for the law.

"No decisions have been made on how we're going to proceed,” Boehner said at his weekly press briefing when asked if the House version of a continuing resolution to fund the government, which Congress must pass within the next two months to avoid a government shutdown, would include Obamacare funding.

Yes

 

[Sallow]

It won't be a Democratic shutdown.

It will be a Republican Shutdown.

Remember how successful that was the last time around?

 

[ScreamingEagle]

yes.....AND blame the shutdown on the Republicans...

(edit...as you can see already above....)

 

[LoneLaugher]

Interesting thought process.

If the Democrats in Congress do not vote in favor of a GOP prompted budget resolution that defunds a law that has passed and been ruled constitutional, and the result is a government shutdown, it will be the Democratic Party who is to accept blame for the shutdown.

Perfect logic.

 

[Edgetho]

yes.....AND blame the shutdown on the Republicans...

(edit...as you can see already above....)

That's the whole point of all the brouhaha going on between Republicans right now.

Some want to force a Government Shutdown. Something we're bound to lose. the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM will blame Republicans, dimocraps will blame Republicans and some Republicans will blame other Republicans.

It is stupidity to even think about shutting the Government down.

You don't fight a battle you can't win. Only idiots do that

You don't jump off a cliff to prove how brave you are.

We have to learn how to play the 'long' game instead of jumping around like idiots with no focus making futile and losing gestures that The People will hold against us.

Which is why I have no patience with the libertarian wing of the Party.

We need to use our heads and not give dimocraps ammunition to use against us.

Yes, I realize that dimocrap scum are dismantling the Greatest Health Care System in the History of Man. But at the same time, we have to realize that we're powerless to stop it from happening.

There's nothing we can do about it. We hold one house in Congress, dimocrap scum hold the other along with the Executive.

Stupid, futile gestures accomplish nothing but making you look stupid and impotent.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Republicans.

Don't know if they will or not but one thing I can say for sure, they've got a big, wet, sloppy kiss comin' from me if they do.

the Republicans are not shutting down the government....the plan is to send over a bill to the Senate that funds everything except Obamacare....

it actually would be the Dimwits in the Senate who would choose to shutdown government by refusing to pass the bill for government funding because Obamacare funding was left out of it...

why can't that simple explaination be put out to the public.....despite the liberal media.....? especially if reps point out that individuals are being forced to pay while companies get off scott free...

You are right and I know that is the case.

But we're talking Washington DC, where dimocrap scum and the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM call a 5% Increase in a School Lunch program a decrease because dimocrap scum asked for an 8% increase.

dimocraps lie.

And the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM will back them 100%.

We have to sit back and play the game until we regain power.

THEN, we can worry about trying to fix things.

I'm not saying we should roll over and spread our legs, but we have to choose our battles very carefully.

If I thought there was any way we could win this battle, I'd be all for it.

But we can't and we both know it.

Next time we get a Republican President in Office, let's hope this one has some Balls.

Too bad Palin has no chance...

It's by the very same people that think the minority party should rule the country.

[Nosmo King]

The Tea Party caucus is beyond Boehner's control and fond of brinksmanship and political theater. Their goal is not governance but obstruction and sabotage (amazing values for politicians, but somehow that twisted logic appeals to the brain dead Conservative base).

Stymie the economy, throw hundreds of thousand out of work and risk another degradation of our credit rating all to make a political point. Somehow this all makes perfect sense to the Tea Party caucus and their inbred followers.

We've had this dog and pony show in 2012.

If the country didn't want ObamaCare..Romney would have won, the Republicans would have gained seats in the Senate and House.

That's not what happened.

They lost on all three counts.

That's after they lost in the Supreme Court.

Except that's not the equation.

It would be 8 - 5 = 3.

8 was provisioned for..and budgeted.

That led to obstruction.

They got 5.

That's a 3% decrease.

yet the Rs still held the House after the MAJOR slapdown in 2010......and half of America doesn't like Obamacare....more and more everyday the more they learn about it...

which is why Obama is not following the LAW by allowing a delay for companies over 50 employees.....way too many would wise up before the 2014 elections...

if the press actually did their job you libtards would be toast...

Uh-huh, using that logic if they asked for a 9000% increase and only got 5000% , that would be a 4000% budget CUT and thus they'd be operating with a negative budget.

Exactly how many cases of that government snake oil did you buy?
