What is more important: keeping the government running or funding obamacare?

[hipeter924]

Yeah. Obama made sure that even if you aren't a US citizen you can become president. Gonna be hard to make government smaller when Cruz attacks Iran,Syria,North Korea....he is a neo con war hawk of the worst kind...but I am for whatever it takes to bring this nation to its knees.

Meanwhile the rest of the developed world looks at America and is glad they don't live there, no thanks to the lack of universal healthcare, and the Republican party. Whether it is socialism or capitalism, America fails at both.

Oh god....more ignorance

Let me know when you can name all the countries on the map, and point to them. Also read the OECD report that shows how far the US is behind the rest of the world in maths, reading, and writing. Then at last we can see how 'ignorant' I am, but I will save you the trouble, my IQ is well above average.

Gallup released some new data this week on migration, for which they asked people from 154 countries if they would like to migrate, and if so where to. The United States was by far the most popular destination; Gallup estimates that 138 million people would like to relocate there. The United Kingdom was the second-most popular, with 42 million potential migrants, followed by Canada, France and Saudi Arabia.

A revealing map of who wants to move to the U.S.

Yes you are a legend n your own mind....the United States is by far where the world wants to emigrate to, you are quite ignorant.

[boedicca]

Actually, I'd be perfectly happy if 75% of the government ceased to exist, along with ObamaCare not being funded.

Want is different to actual data, Americans have been escaping the mess that is the US for years now.

I vote for option #3 --> keeping the government running, funding Obamacare and watching the Republicans cave as their poll numbers dive.

 

[NYcarbineer]

i see the chickenshit still refuses to answer the question

your analogy is false, one is funding, the other is amending the constitution

you are the retard

The House wants to repeal Obamacare. You can repeal a Constitutional Amendment.

So answer the question, coward.

you still have not answered the OP chicken. and no, the issue is DEFUNDING, not repealing moron. stop lying you ******* hack.

i predict the chicken will not answer the question but demand i answer his....

I answered the question. Since it's vital to fund the government no single program's funding should be used as a bargaining chip.

Now answer mine.

 

[candycorn]

Obamacare; not because of what it is; but because of what it represents. It was a bill passed by both houses then signed into law.

If this is de-funded due to these tactics by the GOP, it sets a precedent that will ultimately lead to a degraded United States. Back when the House was controlled by Democrats, I guess they could have pulled this silly act to get Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan? And that would be labeled as "due process" by the loons on the right here?

Anyway, It's much more important to keep Obama care because of what it represents; not because of what it is.

The poll actually represents the worst part of politics; does it not? You're either "for us or against us" when most of the legislators and most of the country are in the middle and are forced to "choose sides" (since we only have 2 viable parties) in the biannual elections.

That wasn't a reliable source because it is a survey asking whether they want to move somewhere, rather than actual data which shows that people have actually moved there. Meanwhile in the real world: Steve Wozniak Seeks Australian Citizenship: America May Lose Yet Another Billionaire

In 2001 there were an estimated 5.5 million Americans living overseas, and only 491 of them had renounced their citizenship. Fast-forward 10 years to 2011, and those numbers have now increased to 6.4 million Americans living overseas with 1,781 Americans renouncing their citizenship. The number is expected to increase this year and exceed 2,000 — the highest annual figure since the Vietnam War. The figures get more complicated when considering the number of Americans with dual nationality. Since the U.S. government doesn’t keep records on its citizens with dual nationality the estimates run from between 1 to 7 million with active dual nationality,as a whopping 40 million Americans are estimated to be eligible for citizenship in another country besides the US.

The main motivation for Americans leaving the U.S. is the same for immigration to the U.S.: economics. Whilst in the past, emigration out of the U.S. during WWII, the Vietnam War and the McCarthy era was politically motivated, emigration today is more linked to financial reasons with millions of Americans seeking to take up job opportunities overseas. Whilst most overseas American’s intend to return to the U.S., many after a prolonged period of time overseas or marriage to a foreign spouse, the possession of a U.S. passport becomes more of a liability then a benefit with the continuous taxation even after not being resident in the U.S. for so long.

And that was just last year. Keep messing up America and more will leave, fortunately the Republican majority will be gone from the House in 2014 or later.

I am in awe...you are SO intelligent that you can't understand that YOU said nobody WANTS to come here and I showed you they did...sorry kid...you don't get to decide what sources are good and which ones aren't....I took what you said and showed you you were wrong.

It's ok, it won't be the last time it happens.

it is a simple question based on the claim by you libs that the pubs are holding the government hostage, yet, when the question is actually posed to you, you claim it is idiotic, yet...you continue the stupid dishonest claim the pubs are holding the gov hostage

Really, did I say that? You spend all your time bitching about America not being '#1'. In fact I didn't, so much for a 'bitchslap':

Meanwhile the rest of the developed world looks at America and is glad they don't live there

I said 'glad they don't live there', not 'no one wants to live there'. Keep making up crap about me, it is getting boring arguing with you.
