“The debt ceiling doesn’t 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?

P.S. Oh and remember how Ronald Reagan won the cold war. The soviets were used to accomodation and “responsible” leaders on our side. They were completely unprepared for RR who bankrupted the soviets by convincing them he was absolutely, completely, bat**** crazy.

“We begin bombing in 5 minutes.” I guess we’ll never know if that comment was the most carefully prepared “mistake” in history.

If the house hold the line (as is their constitutional right and duty) then the senate doesn’t even matter. We do not need the senate or the president to defund obamacare. We just need the house not to pass any bill that funds it. Period. No matter what.

And as has been posted many times, Obama/Reid cannot shutdown essential services no matter how many times they threaten. The worst they can do is cause legions of government employees to be laid off. Whoopee!

The military will be paid. The social security checks will be paid. Medicare will be paid. The courts will function. The mail will continue to run, but maybe on fewer days. The air traffic controllers will remain on the job. The essential bills will be paid. The Congress and the White House will remain open, but perhaps without heating and air-conditioning and without so many lawyers, staffers, assistants and underlings. The congresscritters can wear sweaters in the wintertime and sweat it out in the summer heat and do their own dirty work.

But whatever happens, the House must not fund Obamacare. That will be checkmate for our constitution.
