All I’m saying is we cannot afford to put all our eggs in the debt ceiling basket. If they try to combine fighting obamacare and cutting the budget in with the debt ceiling fight we will definitely lose. Obama/Reid hold the upper hand in this through holding the majority in the senate. If they go ahead and fund obamacare now we lose all.
Hold the line in the House. That’s our best shot.
The debt ceiling doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if you allow the constitution shredding obamacare program to survive. Obama doesn’t give a crap about jobs or the economy or solvency or freedom. That’s obvious in his destructive policies. And he’ll happily run with an obamacare win — if the house caves — and it alone is enough to totally destroy America, debt ceiling win or not. It won’t matter then. The precedent of unlimited federal government and power will have been set. Check mate.
Hold the line!! Do not fund obamacare under any circumstance whatsoever!!
“The debt ceiling doesnt amount to a hill of beans if you allow the constitution shredding obamacare program to survive.”
Exactly. And in this instance, time really is on our side. Both the House and the Senate must approve both the Continuing Resolution and an increase in the debt ceiling. I don’t think the forces of evil care so much about the CR. But they DO care about the debt ceiling. So tie both to deathcare. No CR, no debt ceiling increase unless deathcare is defunded.
They’d accuse us of being insane and irresponsible for doing that. And they’d be right. And you should never fight against someone who is both irresponsible and insane.
So how you liking that shoe on the other foot, huh dingy harry?
Exactly. It doesn't matter WHAT CR passes or what the CR "says" it will fund. At the end of the day, the House of Representatives is responsible to "cut the check" for all expenditures.
Will the House of Representatives have the balls to simply "not cut the check" for Obamacare?
BTW Jim, why is it everyone's focused on the CR and what the CR says, RATHER THAN what the Constitutional Responsibilities of the House of Representatives is?
It's simple: No matter what CR passes, DO NOT PAY FOR OBAMACARE. It's really that simple. Will the Republicans stand together on this one, or will they collapse like a cheap suit bag?
Given Boehner's in charge of the House and Eric Cantor has exposed himself as a STATIST RINO, I'm not terribly hopeful - however I'll be ecstatic to be proven wrong!
Keep up the fight!
