Hell, their 2012 presidential nominee has only come out of hiding ONCE since he got thumped, and it was to warn Republicans NOT to defund Obamacare.

Any Republican who votes to fund ObamaCare after they voted no on it to begin with is a traitor and should be voted out in 2014. We sent these guys to DC to block this crap, not to ram it down our throats!!

Fund it, you own it!!

RE :”’This is the line in the sand,’ House Republicans say”

Dems ‘Line in Sand’ metaphor relating to this is because Obama drew the Syria 'line in sand' and then he was ridiculed (by us and even some in MSM and it was fun too) for backing off on it and they feel certain that Obama will sign a CR with Obama-care funding before the end of month, implying the same backing off on defunding 'line in sand' and their coming ridicule of it.

Can we stop with the lines, already?

My first thought too, upon reading the headline. Stop with the drama, let the Zero King handle that.

I had to click the link to see if someone actually said that or it was dramatic license on the LAT's part. Unfortunately, some doorknob actually said it and let himself be quoted on it. Dingdong!

BTW, anyone else click the link and get a huge ad for Nemours Children's Hospital that would not close when you clicked the "Close" X?

“You draw a line, you follow through. If Boehner wimps out, he’s history.” Past history has shown that every line the Republicans have drawn always results in splashing their shoes and leaving a trail as they back away. “Republican leadership” is an oxymoron. Convince me I’m wrong.

Sorry, but I don't trust the GOPe as far as I can spit! Does any one here really believe Boner, or his little queer protégée Cantor are seriously going to defund this? Sorry, I'm not buying this steaming pile of bull sh*t for one second!

The Rs in the House should pass the funding bill with no ObozoCare, then go into recess until the Senate passes the bill and the Pres. signs it. No conference, no negotiating, no compromises.

Just say “here’s the bill to fund the govt” and if the Democraps don’t follow through on it then the shutdown is on them.

The problem with a line in the sand, the smallest of waves will wash it away.
