They passed a CR omnibus bill fully funding the entire government until September including Obama care. Flush out your head gear. The GOP Leadership has already screwed you and every other Conservative and they will continue to do so.
Exactly! They passed a budget, at the last moment so nobody could read it, that funds the Government until September. That is 9 months where the new Senate had NO SAY AT ALL. The phones were melting from all the calls asking for a short term budget that would fund the Government until a new Senate could have a say. Back stabbing RINO's could not pass this infamous betrayal without RAT votes and Obama's support. (Obama's support. Need I say more?)
They gave away the store in the $1.1 Trillion budget, and both Boner and McConnell have declared their support for maintaining Bozocare and Amnesty. What’s there to wait for?
All they care about is the damned "messaging." Eff the messaging. Pass the bills and force Obama to veto them. Period.
“The democrat Republican leaders will hustle the filibuster back into existence, perhaps go way back to return it to a full two thirds. The last thing they want for the Republican Party in the Senate is to effectively oppose anything.”
Right, GOPe never misses an opportunity to get it wrong and embarrass themselves with the overwhelming conservative GOP base.
IMHO, Reid drew first blood with the Nuclear Option and I would leave it there until the GOP had the total congress and a Conservative GOP in the White House. The Dems deserve to be punished as payback.
I hate these stories. It offends my intelligence.
It is all total bs to feed us conservatives, they expect us to buy this bullsh1ite.
Our kabuki rino/gop-e leaders have zero intention of doing this. We all know it. They have said so repeatedly. It won’t be done.
They already have told us prior to, and after, the election they will not be doing this. This is just more of the same rino kabuki theater they have been feeding us for years under boner.
Just more GOPe trying to play the Republican base for fools. They gave up the one real tool they had to put some restraint on Obama when they funded the gov’t for the remainder of fiscal 2015, minus DHS, and how much would anyone bet they’ll do anything to restrain Obama’s illegal amnesty?
All this is just strategizing to decide how to continue hoodwinking the base into thinking they really are trying to oppose some of Obama’s policies and illegal actions.
So, the RINOs are going to just use it as a political wedge to organ-grind or to get reelected in 2016. It’s actual repeal means nothing to them.
And funding [taxes] comes from the House of Representatives — which the Republican party has had a majority for how long?
ObamaCare being funded is something to get pissed off at the Republican party over.
I'm fairly certain we'll not see any significant tax reform w/o a Constitutional amendment.
The repukes have been “eyeing”, “contemplating “, “considering”, repealing Obolacare forever. How about the useless turds DO something, now that they control both houses? Yeah, I know they don’t actually control the Senate yet, but I will be absolutely stunned if they actually DO anything.
It was passed by budget reconciliation it will die by budget reconciliation.
“And while Obama is certain to veto anything that tries to roll back his landmark healthcare law, Republicans increasingly see reconciliation as an important messaging tool to help paint a contrast with Democrats on Obamacare ahead of 2016.”
Once again, this is just a ploy to get elected. Just like they pretended to be against amnesty in 2014.
Lying bastards. They’ll never do anything remotely conservative.
“personally, I want to see some caning and bloody noses .... but that’s just me .... or is it ?”
I’d go further than that. Traitors, especially lying ones, deserve much more.
Tar and Feathers.
Lots of tar and feathers.
Yep. The heavy lifting of funding is done so now onto the show!!
It’s all theatrics. It has not a prayer of becoming reality. The GOP has to throw its base a bone to maintain any semblance of credibility, so they can say “Well, we tried.”
I’m to the point where I am hoping and praying for a complete collapse of the system to pave the way for John Galt.
Are you in the market for a Unicorn? How about a large red bridge I have nearby connecting SF to Marin?
Hope you are well.
