Did anyone else hear Newt on Ingraham’s show this a.m.?
Newt sided with Mike Lee, Ted Cruz et al. Ingraham tried every possible way to argue and reason Newt out of taking their side, but he did not budge on it.
What Newt said was, you must start from the premise that Obamacare is an unmittigated disaster for healthcare, the economy, freedom, etc. From that factual premise, you cannot - CANNOT - argue that you must nevertheless vote to fund it.
He said, GOP, spend the next weeks pounding home what a disaster this is for our country. That it is so horrific, it is simply out of the question to vote funding for it.
Then, follow Mike Lee’s plan, pass a CR that funds EVERYTHING ELSE but Obamacare.
Show that it isn’t a government shutdown they’re seeking but to stop something that is so destructive they cannot vote to fund it.
Thereby Obama will show his hand that he so loves the idea of forcing this horrific monster on Americans, he would rather shut down the entire government.
Ingraham was pretty much left disarmed by her interview with Newt. She shot every arrow of “concern” in her quiver and could not land one, not one.
Laura does NOTHING but BEAT UP on Conservatives.....she is so RUDE tot hem, I turn her off.
Newt ping. If only .....
The video below is on the Senate floor, where all the reasons are explained why Obamacare should not be funded.
