The rats know Obamacare is illegitimate, never supported by a majority, is killing job growth, delaying the start of families . . . but must be protected at all costs in the name of saving face.
OTOH, more and more pubbies understand they can help their country AND their reelection chances if they vote to defund.
They know this is a litmus test not just for individual reps, but for the GOP. I am through putting up with the usual chicanery. This is a do-or-die vote for the party. If the GOP caves on horrible Obamacare, they know many in the base, like me, will walk away in 2014 and beyond.
I’ve already left the GOP, but any POL who votes to fund Obamacare is DEAD to me forever. Every last one of them. This is a litmus test vote for me.
Let’s hope the ‘ruling class’ gets the message loud and clear that we aren’t going to go peacefully and they can’t just shove this horrible law down our throats.
