Then shouldn’t the House stake out a position and not change? Send it back to the Senate as many times as it takes. Fund the government, not Obamacare.
The people will figure it out eventually.
They could, but no evidence to suggest they will. Polling has the republicans being blamed. I do not see anything in the numbers that hint republicans are on solid footing. You also have the senate republicans screaming for a deal. If you crash the system you better be right and have support or you will pay. Obamacare may be unpopular but not wildly so. Democrats want single payer so the numbers are soft on Obamacare but given the choice they are not giving it up. Independents show marginally against until you talk shutdown then they are solidly against. Look imam all for the cause I just do not see a way of winning with Obama in the whitehouse. You will never have a veto majority and shutting down the government may sound cool but in the end the numbers say it is a loser.

We hold all the cards. Screw you Obama.

What would happen if the House sent numerous specific bills to the Senate, but none of them funded obammycare? Let the Senate and Bronco Bama choose which parts of the federal government go without funding.
The middle ground may be to sent a compromise bill on obammcare - delay it for s year and require ALL federal employees, including the entire executive branch to use oobammycare.
