He should be asked if he intends to participate in ObammyCare and if he intends to FORCE his staff members to participate also.
Hopefully he can be replaced at the very next election!
De-funding Obamacare is a false hope. They will levy fines and confiscate entire companies to fund it if need be. Only driving a stake through its heart will rid us of it.
Well maybe that answer will seal the fate of his next election.
With all this talk of terrorists on the loose I hope they aim their anger at our congress people.
So can someone please explain to me why hussein’s health plan is driving up all our health insurance premiums?
Pig
The gaydar just blew the lense of the gage.Bet that is the reason.
If this scumbag funds it, he owns it.
I hope somebody steps up to challenge this p.o.s. in a primary.
my understanding is...
PPACA’s funding is in perpetuity,
from the law itself. —>
PPACA can not just be ‘zeroed’ on this times budget,
what has to happen is a new law with specific
language to stop funding.
if not correct, please enlighten me.
House Members are pretty lucky because of gerrymandering. He probably won’t be kicked out even for this stupid statement. House members can say whatever they want and get reelected. Much more difficult for Senators. For example, John Boehner should be kicked out of the House, but he received 96 percent of the vote last election. The Democrat only received 4 percent. There was zero primary but even if still, I don’t know if the Republican would win against Boehner. It sucks!
HA-HA, watched video.
he is asked if he will vote with Mike Lee ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as only options and so he replies 'no', OMG...
Mike Lee is in the Senate, This congressman Pitt is in the House so they CANT vote together.
Duhhhh,
Sen Mike Lee and Cruz need to round up 51 Senators to kill the Senate CR (as a budget item) and replace it with their own in the Senate where they live. That requires getting all Republican Senators and a few Dems too to go along.
And to get Reid to put it up for a vote. Its real simple.
I imagine House members dont appreciate being told what to do by Senators who cant even win over their own house.
Please listen to what is being said in the video. Maybe I’m overlooking something, so somebody please clarify if my analysis is wrong.
The misguided TP patriot who asked Rep. Pittenger if he is going to vote yea or nay about defunding Obamacare seems to be confused about the federal lawmaking process. More specifically, while the HoR can initiate and pass an Obamacare defunding bill, neither the Senate or Oval Office will support such a bill as Rep. Pittenger seemed to try to explain to the gentleman. So all that HoR yeas for defunding Obamacare amount to is increasing the possibility that incumbent conservatives who vote yea will be reelected in 2014. (In that context, I’m surprised that Rep. Pittenger didn’t politic a yes.)
Another perspective on the politics of conservative lawmakers NOT defunding Obamacare is the following. Constitution-ignorant “patriots” have shown, imo, that they are “fire fighters” as opposed to “fire preventers” as evidenced by allowing Constitution-ignoring socialist to take of the country in the first place. And from what I hear, conservative DC lawmakers may be counting on the Obamacare tax to give voters the kick in the teeth that they arguably deserve for not getting off their butts to kick Obama out of the Oval Office in 2012. So the good thing about the inevitable Obamacare tax tsunami is the following imo. It will hopefully drive conservatives and former Obama supporters to get off of their couches and elect new conservative faces to Congress in 2014.
And speaking of 2014 elections, if outraged conservatives and former Obama supporters get mad enough to elect 2/3 majority conservative control in both Houses of Congress in 2014 elections, and I don’t know if that is possible in 2014 election cycle, then a conservative supermajority Congress will be able to do the following under the Constitution’s Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I. Clause 2 will allow Congress to override presidential vetoes. This means that a conservative Congress will be able to repeal Obamacare without Obama’s signature.
Again, who cares about defunding Obamacare, since it actually can’t be done at this time because such a bill won’t have the support of the Senate and the Oval Office? On the other hand, patriots need to wise up and try to elect a conservative supermajority to Congress in 2014 who will be able to repeal Obamacare without Obama’s signature.
Soon to be former Congressman to the 9th District of North Carolina most likely.
