GOP hedges on health care funds

Here we go again...

Complacent much?

[nickcarraway]

Here it starts. The GOP ran against healthcare, but it was just a campaign tactic. At least John Cornyn was honest when he said he agreed with 95% of Obamacare

[sergeantdave]

I’ll wait for another more credible source. The obuma butt-kissers at the Marxist politico are on record of trying to stir up trouble and divide patriots with lies and propaganda.

In fact, I think politico should be considered on the same level as Storm Front and banned from FR.

[tobyhill]

It's very simple whether to tell if Politico is just propagandizing or actually reporting, does the CR contain any money that helps implement Obamacare.

[Ben Ficklin]

The PollyAnna wing of GOP and the Tea Partiers are aghast at the reality of healthcare.

[samtheman]

I’ll wait for another more credible source.

Isn't there a conservative publication or group or website doing daily tracking on this and other congressional issues? There must be. Anybody have links to such a group?

“It’s very simple whether to tell if Politico is just propagandizing or actually reporting, does the CR contain any money that helps implement Obamacare. “

I have a different question - does it matter? Does anyone think Obama will let a Republican-written CR stop him from shifting the funds he needs to keep implementing Obamacare?

I’ll watch and see for now.

Looks like there are going to be another crop of GOP incumbents that get fired next election cycle.

Socilaized Medicine is here to stay....we only have a handful of Conservatives in Congress. The rest of them are the same as Democrats/Progressives and just do whatever will get them re-elected.

Pandering to the dependent Classes NEVER works, and we have four generations of welfare-dependent slugs who've never worked a day in their lives who, unfortunately, are allowed to vote.

When they can vote for handouts by voting for Democrats, and they now are nearly 50% of the voters (legal or not), there is no way to stop this.

[grumpygresh]

I also have my doubts about anything coming form pollutico. All the news that will hurt conservatives should be their motto. They have attributed false statement from conservatives just to stir the pot and create division.
Obviously, de-funding an unconstitutional and expensive law is not only good economics,it’s good politics.

[org.whodat]

Aggressive enough, the republicans are acting like a little puppy peeing on the floor begging to be petted by the democraps. They are on the end of their rope, fool you twice is happening.

[screaminsunshine]

Gasp! I can’t believe the Republicans are caving in. What a surprise!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I knew we were screwed when I read that Paul Ryan is now down to only $58 billion in spending cuts. Why even bother? The GOP will vote to raise the debt ceiling in return for token cuts that will change nothing. Same old same old strikes again.

[screaminsunshine]

Yep. Any solutions will come from state governments. Washington is too far gone to correct. They will go down still trying to rearrange the deck chairs and leading us to the NWO.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Is this some tactical move required by arcane Congressional rules? If not time to grab the pitchforks...

[Georgia Girl 2]

“Yep. Any solutions will come from state governments. Washington is too far gone to correct. They will go down still trying to rearrange the deck chairs and leading us to the NWO.”

I think you are right. Its going to be every state for themselves. Or hopefully many states banding together and just rejecting Obamacare and the EPA etc. It appears to already be happening. I think this state movement will soon start to snowball. Anyone who believes the GOP is going to save our country is just naive.

[screaminsunshine]

I know. It seems to be a waste of time trying to reform the Federal Government. They are like a Hell Bound Train. The best hope is 34 states.
