...how about when the CR comes to the House w/ OC stripped out, just put it back in and send it back to Dingy Harry, tell him to take it or leave it.
... go to whatever media available and make it clear that if the govt shuts down, Dingy & Barry did it.
Yeah. And raise the stakes. Gut the CR of all funding for Planned Parenthood.
Well, how about this....
Once the demand to open non-essential government services reaches a fever pitch, the GOP (who have no incentive to extend the shutdown) can simply say, “Great, let’s hammer out a deal and reopen government.”
Once Obama’s party comes to the table, the GOP will have won, because any negotiations will mean repealing, delaying, and/or de-funding ObamaCare — not a 100% repeal/delay/defund, but something higher than 0%.
Certainly the Democrats will realize that negotiation will mean giving away some of their precious domestic “achievement,” and thus they will resist coming to the bargaining table. But Obama, Reid, et al. will be trapped by their own rhetoric. If the shutdown is so bad, and the GOP want to end it, then the pressure to negotiate a deal becomes more and more intense.
