You seem to be missing the point that the Republican House can't do squat except pass a bill that Harry Reid's Senate must pass, and Obama must also sign. If neither of that doesn't happen the entire federal government shuts down. There is then more howling and gnashing of teeth in the media than you have ever heard before, all blaming the Republican House. The government is shut down, seniors aren't getting Social Security checks, kids aren't getting school lunches, etc., and it's the Republican House's fault. Then what?

Guess I don’t get the point. If they don’t pass the continuing resolution bill, no bill goes to Harry. They are vilified anyway, wish they would take a stand.
If they pass it, business worse than usual because of the implementation of obamacare.
But eh, I made my call. No one seems to even care about obamacare, the deficit, the Constitution....
Sadly they will ...perhaps when the obamacare goes live next year.

If a continuing resolution is not passed by the House, the Senate, and an Obama signature, the government shuts down. If a continuing resolution bill is passed by the House with a Obamacare defunding and the Senate somehow passes it, too, Obama vetos it, and the government still shuts down. In either case the government shuts down.
the only way a shutdown is avoided is a continuing resolution to pass with no Obamacare defunding. Any government shutdown will be blamed on the Republicans, regardless of who is really responsible.

“Did it matter?”
Yes, it does matter if we do the right thing.
Will YOU do the right thing and support the good guys, and help more good guys get elected in future elections?

Yes.
But only those who actually take action.
Words do not matter, promises do not matter, I need to see action.
So far Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have my respect and admiration.
But just about all of the rest of the GOP needs to be scraped from my shoe with a stick.
