GOP Doc: Vote to Defund Obamacare, Let Senate Erase It
Breitbart ^ | 9/10/13 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 09/11/2013 3:21:22 PM PDT by T Ruth

A document House Majority Leader Eric Cantor distributed to all House Republicans on Tuesday, obtained by Breitbart News, confirms that he is planning to make it appear as though the House is voting to defund Obamacare while using a legislative procedural trick which would allow the Democrat-controlled Senate to strip defunding language from the Continuing Resolution.

Anyone call his office to inform him that his true colors have been found out?

There was a conservative Congressman on Hannity this afternoon who stated that “that option” was now a dead issue, apparently due to 70+ conservative Republicans refusing to vote for it.

The GOP are nothing buy liars and backstabbers.

The GOP is the identical TWIN of the DNC. They support
fraud, no accountability, corruption, law breakage
for THEM and their STAFF, and al Qaeda.

95% of them need to be voted out. How about stocks lining Pennsylvania Ave? Excuse me, it probably isn’t long enough.

These RINO’s are worse than Democrats - At least rats don’t pretend to support the constitution capitalism.

Who you need to call!

You need to write your Senate representatives and let them know that you will not support them in the next election if they pull this stunt. It probably won’t matter this next election but in time it will. Flood the airways and e-mails, letters.....get busy!!!!

Dumbasses trying to FOOL the Public, and claim they voted to Defund Obamacare.

Have a TRUE PATRIOT (if one exists in the House), add an Amendment that says, "all Funding, with Amendments, must Pass as a total package, or ALL of the Legislation is void", so no stripping of Amendments can be done in the Senate at all. Giving the Senate a line-item Veto on Obamacare de-funding is a joke.

Playing games to use in the Elections to make false claims of what they did will only work with those dumb enough to vote for RINO's.

I am fully convinced there are three political parties in the country, the Comservative party, the Socialist party and the Establishment party.

The Establishment party is the party of the status quo in Washington. They are just listening to either the right or the left and make a decision based on how it impacts their own political careers.

The Presidency is based on either the Establishment party or the Socialist party because a Conservative spoils it for everyone.

Cannot stand this lying weasel!

I watched as Cantor performed a shuffle and dodge when he was asked a couple of questions about some specific conservative issues the GOP promised in the 2012 election.

Cantor was shifty but not very adept at it even though he was before a "friendly audience."

I wasn't the only person in that group that felt he was trying to lie his way out of his answers.

Congress has no more Constitutional authority to defund unconstitutional Obamacare than they do to create unconstitutional Obamacare given the fact regulating healthcare is no an enumerated power granted to Congress in Article I Section VIII of the Constitution. Any action taken by the federal government to regulate healthcare, including defunding, is unconstitutional. The people should not be relying on the very branch of government to relinquish a power they usurped from the people. The people must take back that power by nullifying the act. See www.nullifynow.com for more information.

Washington is a company town, and its product is government.

One of the only products we are forced to buy.

Or, read Andrew Codevilla’s article on the American Spectator. There’s a ruling class and a country class.

He thinks we’re stupid. Republicans need to dump Boehner and Cantor from “leadership”. Why would we want lying devious people in leadership positions?

The Senate ‘Rats and RINOs will vote to fund CommieCare. Then what’s Cantor and Boner gonna do? Fold like they always do. Just defund it outright in the House. Let Soetoro scream like a little girl and then vote to impeach the clown. If you overload the clown, he will self-destruct. Teachable moment from the Syrian debacle. Paint the loser in a corner.
