The House has voted 40 times to repeal ObamaCare.

Forty.

I am sure this 41st time is the charm, right?

Unless there is a Special Election this Sunday, where the Senate and White House are suddenly turned over to the GOP, don't bet on this one, unless you like losing.

ObamaCare is evil. It is worse that Socialized medicine. There are clauses in that law that give the government sweeping powers of control over our lives, including access to our medical and financial records. It has the underpinnings of the Mark of Beast itself.

But it isn't going anywhere. Not with this Congress and this President.

Read the article below. It is very instructive of what I believe is about to happen, a shutdown and a technical default. The article was written in July, and here we are, September 13th, and we are much, much closer to a shutdown and default now than we were back in July.

Drop the Disastrous Plan to Defund Obamacare Drop the Disastrous Plan to Defund Obamacare

"The chance that Democrats would go along -- would give up on their signature legislative initiative of the last decade soon after having won the presidential election and gained Senate and House seats -- approaches zero percent. So if Republicans stay firm in this demand, the result will be either a government shutdown or a partial shutdown combined with a debt default. Either would be highly unpopular, and each party would blame the other. The public, however, would almost certainly blame Republicans, for five reasons."

As I said, just like the Sequester, everyone in DC tells you it "will never happen", until it happens.

We are heading straight for a shutdown and debt ceiling showdown that the GOP will eventually lose, but not before there is much damage to our credit rating and perhaps, the end of the US Dollar as the Reserve Currency.

When THAT happens, we cannot borrow as we have, and the party in America is over.

Get ready for the hangover.

The End of America isn't coming. It is here.

We elected the GOP to rubber stamp and fund the obama agenda? Nuts. We elected them to OPPOSE the obama agenda. Like Reid & Pelosi opposed Bush. Do you remember that? Did Pelosi & Reid rubber stamp SS privatization? Medicare part D??? Of course not and nobody expected them to. Now suddenly the shoe is on the other foot and the GOP should just roll over for obama? Nuts.

The GOP simply are not vigorously engaging in stopping the obamacare train wreck in word or deed. Symbolic votes to defund mean NOTHING if there is no consistent engagement on the issue. This is the tip toe loser plan that is leading the GOP to disaster in 2014. Have fun supporting these beltway GOP losers. I won’t be.

If the House doesn’t fund ObummerCare, it doesn’t matter what the Senate does. It won’t be funded. Period.

You realize it takes both the House and the Senate to fund it, don’t you?
