Shutdown looms over ObamaCare

ObamaCare is at the center of a rapidly escalating fight that threatens to shut the government down this fall.

Republicans have tried this maneuver in Obama’s first term, only to back off later to the chagrin of Tea Party leaders.

This time, GOP lawmakers are emboldened by problems plaguing the administration’s ObamaCare implementation.

The GOP will cave, as they are worried that being too hard on Obamacare will cost them Hispanic votes.

Maybe they should be more worried about the Whitey vote.

Round two will be whether the forced funding of abortion violates the free exercise of religion.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, ..."

Ayn Rand writes ...

"One may argue about the later stages of a pregnancy, but the essential issue concerns only the first three months. To equate a potential with an actual is vicious; to advocate the sacrifice of the latter to the former is unspeakable."

I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS FOR ONE SECOND.

This is more Zero propaganda to turn eveyrone against the GOP and take back the House in 2014, setting the stage for COMPLETION OF CLOWN'S COMMIE TRANSFORMATION IN 2015-2016.

Yup. And, according to the Rats in the MSM, it's already the GOP's fault it's a trainwreck.

And since Americans get their news from the MSM, then the GOP should go for broke. What do they have to lose if they are already being blamed? We don't refer to the GOP as the STUPID PARTY for nothing.

The Republicans should say:

“We’re not shutting the government down; we’re shutting Obamacare down.”

That would be too sensible...the Repubs will do no such thing.

“They don’t have the cojones...”

I must respectfully disagree. It isn’t a matter of not having the courage of their convictions, its not having the convictions in the first place. The gop wing of the uniparty is not going to stop or even slow down the implementation of owebamacare. They’ll let it go into practice ASAP for a few reasons:

1. The gop wing of the uniparty would lose an important issue that they can posture and jawbone over for eternity. If you actually solve a problem, you can’t continue to milk it.
2. The cronies of the gop wing of the uniparty profit from owebamacare. It’s the insurance companies that win with mandatory coverage. The gop doesn’t object to forced purchase of insurance per se, so long as their faction gets their share of the boodle. And they will.
3. The gop wing of the uniparty is happy as can be to obtain the personal data that is required under owebamacare.

There would be NO overspending default possible if the funding for obamaumao care was withdrawn. Immediate cost savings and removal of any ceiling being reached, out years or in. All this takes... ALL this takes is the Trey Gowdy and Ted Cruz answer— the President violates the Constitution to not fully enforce the new law? Well, then Congress will not FUND the new law. The Purse...the People, and sell it to the People who do NOT want this monster.

Do they have it— is there any leadership. Cut out the lobbies, cut out the mexican government, cut out the cost shifting international corporatists. Free the People, and take a Stand!

I think everyone here knows the simple truth:

Monkeys will fly out of your arse, in formation, singing “Look For The Union Label”, before Odinga or any of his myrmidons are ever prevented from bringing about “fundamental transformation”.
