Well, that didnt last long. Barack Obama has been busy shooting his re-election campaign in the foot, and the constitutional contempt of the U.S. Supreme Court has handed Romney the best hope hes ever had at winning in November, and lately Ive been wondering what the bunch of idiots who run the Republican Party these days would do to, as they so often do, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Just yesterday it looked like Republicans in the U.S. House might have the brass to block the unconstitutional ObamaCare monstrosity by defunding itthe only legal tool left to protect the freedom of the American people after being sold out by John Roberts and the Supreme Court last month.
Now, it seems Republicans in the House have misplaced their testicles as well as their spine, and are now stating they will fund this abomination. And if they will fold so easily on something this important, can anything they say about sticking with something or other tough-talk be believed?
From CNS News:
CNSNews.com) When asked whether the House Republicans would permit or not permit funding for Obamacare in whatever legislation is enacted to fund the government after Sept. 30when the current funding legislation runs outHouse Speaker John Boehner responded that our goal would be to make sure the government is funded, thus indicating that House Republicans do plan to fund implementation of Obamacare past Sept. 30.
Unless a special provision is put into the bill to fund the government past Sept. 30 that expressly prohibits funding specifically for the Obamacare regulation that requires health-care plans to cover, without cost-sharing, sterilizations, artificial contraceptives and abortifacients, the House Republicans, by funding implementation of Obamacare, will also be funding implementation of that regulation.
If despite having some of the most pathetic excuses for Republicans imaginable on the ballot in 2012 we still manage to hand control of OUR government to Republicans in the executive and legislative branch, we simply must get rid of worthless buffoons like John Boehner in the House leadership. Michele Bachmann would make a great speaker, or perhaps Allen West. But with America teetering on the edge of ruin, if God mercifully gives us a reprieve in November, we must not squander that reprieve on the likes of John Boehner.
What the hell happened to the party of Ronald Reagan, the man who stared down the nuclear-armed Soviet Union and brought it crashing to defeat? What happened to the party of Reagan which managed to turn America around from the Jimmy Carter malaise, even with Democrats in control of congress? What happened to the Republican Party that won control of congress for the first time in 40 years in 1994 and cut the knees from under the welfare state for the first time in decades? When did the Republican Party become such a country club of cheese-eating surrender monkeys? Do we need to send the GOP a huge shipment of those testosterone pills Im always hearing about in commercials? Do Boehner and the boys need a truck-load of Ageless Male? Maybe they need to borrow some stones from Michele Bachmann. What a bunch of pansies!
If this monstrosity is allowed to go into place, it will almost certainty tip America over the edge and on a downward spiral that will be unrecoverable. ObamaCare was designed to destroy the last vestiges of free market health care, and once more people go on the public health care tit, it will be almost politically impossible to ever get them off again. Religious freedom will be trampled along with our most basic right to buy what we want, and not buy what we dont want.
It remains to be seen whether there are enough Americans not yet on the federal tit to elect the candidates most likely move this nation back toward its historic principles, and whether enough Americans can be distracted from the bread and circuses of American Idol, Facebook, Farmville and whatever bilge keeps many Americans anesthetized to the growing loss of their hard-won freedom.
For the last three years, they haven't.
