“The cancer will still spread unless the law is DEFUNDED. “

There’s a whole lot of complexity here and behind the scenes maneuvering. If all of the House Republicans voted for it I believe it is a good move. In chess you’d like to immobilize the king in one move. But it seldom happens that way in real games. A lot of pawns are knocked over first. I hope they’re playing chess as Obama is playing checkers.

If this makes it through the Senate it will still be a powerful tool to run on in ‘14. Plus, there’s a chance that President Tin Ear will reject it. This puts further pressure on Democrats and it runs out the clock on funding, which is more a Dem problem than an Rep problem.

Do you think that perhaps they are trying some sort of incremental strategy? I wonder because the article said the bill would fund the government through November 15. So we will be back here again in a month and a half. Will they try to delay or defund another portion then, and so on?

90-day funding bills. Before long we will be down to funding the government week to week.
