I’m OK with a delay of a year, but they are jumping to that as a fallback way too early in the game. A delay will get us to next year’s elections without letting this monster get its tentacles into us. Take it to the people, gain in the House and the Senate, then send Obama a full repeal as the first option for any spending in 2015. Keep the pressure on, and if there is any compromise at that point, it is for a full defunding for an additional 2 year, to 2017. Obama will have to sign that to get any other spending. Then take it to the Presidential election and see who wins. We lose that one, and we are pretty much done as a country.
As Ted Cruz said on the news shows today the Republicans are compromising and Dingy Harry is an absolutist. He hit the mark time and again by pointing out that Reid is forcing a shut down by refusing to compromise.
