There is no message focus in the beltway GOP. Saying just pass the debt limit and we will focus on obamacare is a false choice. It isn’t going to happen. All we will get is more of the same. Big talk and no action.

Respectfully, did I miss something? There was unified - completely unified - GOP opposition to Obamacare. The House of Reps has voted to repeal it something like 40 times. The Senate GOP has tried to raise the issue, but the rules of the Senate say that the Majority Leader (Reid) controls the schedule and a supermajority (which the GOP doesn't happen to have) is necessary to circumvent. That's not talk - that's action; up to the point where they can no longer do anything (due to not holding the Senate or White House)

The thing, as I see it, is that Conservatives can choose to punish the Congressional GOP for the debt ceiling, etc - which guarantees a Dem majority Senate that can do things like confirm Obama's Exec Branch and Judicial nominees by simple majority vote AND can shield him from having to sign/veto legislation that the public may support, but the Dem base is going to by default oppose.

Or Conservatives can take a deep breath, hold it, let things like this slide and have a chance, a real chance, that a GOP House and Senate bolstered by newly-elected Tea Party Conservatives will stand up and do right by the Conservative Movement.

I understand why a lot of people see it as a roll of the dice, but IMHO the opportunity presented by getting people like Cruz, Paul and Lee into key Senate committee and subcommittee chairmanships (which they'll be entitled to) is well worth any risk involved.

We’ve been giving it a chance and letting things ride for 25 years. What has it got us ....

John McCain, Mitt Romney, Chris Cristy, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Eddie Monster from Wisconsin. Mitch McConnell - All whom wish to punch Conservatives in the Mouth.

They are playing us all. I refuse to play their game anymore.
