Republicans need to as Rand Paul is doing, make it clear to the American people that the Dems are the ones who refuse to compromise and they need to bear the responsibility for a government shutdown, if it will occur.

My so-called Senator’s web site is shut down. I believe from overload. They must be feeling the heat. My other Senator, (McCain) is a waste of bandwidth so he’s still open. Doesn’t read the postings anyway.

Cornyn posted on FB an hour ago that Obama has done nothing to stop a government shutdown. (of course how Cornyn will vote may be another matter entirely).

I think the house should break down the funding bill and pass it is separate chunks

The first stand alone chunk... funding for all social service programs, medicade, medicare, social security, ect.

I DARE Harry to table THAT!

Then if Harry does pass that, the I would send him a bill funding the military, and dare him to table THAT!

and just keep doing this over and over, until every important function of government is paid for and wont be shut down, EXCEPT Obamacare :)

“We are the party that’s willing to compromise,”

I think Senator Paul has put his finger right on the actual motto of the GOP.

“I think the House will get back together, in enough time, send another provision not to shut the government down but to fund it, and it will have a few other options in there for the Senate to look at,” Representative Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican whip, said on “Fox News Sunday.”

McCarthy just told everybody how the Republicans plan to cave.

The "total cave-in" Continuing Resolution has been written.

Late Monday, the Senate will send back the CR they got Saturday. Boehner will whip out the prewritten CR, rally the troops and it will pass, barely.

Then it goes back to the Senate, where, with just seconds remaining, the brave politicians pass the CR to save America for you and me.

Oh, and if it looks like they won't make the midnight deadline, they'll figure out how to use some obscure rule to extend the deadline for how ever long it takes.

That's my playbook and I'm sticking to it. The pubbies WILL CAVE and nobamacare will further the destruction of our country right on time.

I hope I can come back here Tues morning and beg forgiveness for this reply.

So, to sum it up, the repubs already have the next red line drawn and are prepared to retreat behind it. Pathetic losers.

Someone just told me that “ Shutting the government down will not stop Obamacare from being implemented because it is a mandate.” Does anyone know if this is true?
