Well THAT'S it I’m against defunding now that Charlie K is against it. UGH this guy is a moron and one of the reasons I don’t watch Fox anymore. Who told this Shiite head he is some kind of expert?

[slumber1]

Actually I think he’s right. Republican’s are gutless when it comes to this sort of thing. They’ll never follow through with shutting down the government and if they do the Dems will make them look like the bad guys.

[justa-hairyape]

Perhaps he could point out some of the really smart ideas that have occurred in DC ?

[deadrock]

They will cave, and thus, he is 100% correct.

I used to think Charles was a stand-up guy. But he’s not — he’s just a Liberal.

“Never issue a threat you’re not prepared to in the end honor and deliver on,” Krauthammer said. “And if the Republicans imagine they’re going to either stop the funding of the government or refuse the raising of the debt ceiling, they’re out of their minds. It would be a catastrophe in the end. All the president has to do is wait and they’re going to cave.” …

Giving the devil his due, Krauthammer is right about this.

If the Republicans aren't prepared to fight to the death on this issue, there's no point in pursuing it -- if, in the end, they're going to cave.

On the other hand, this could be a hill worth dying for. Defund Obamacare, force the Democrat Senate to defend the hugely unpopular program. Conceivably, in a fight to the finish, there just might be enough Democrats who are afraid of Obamacare to win the day.

Then, this would force Obama to veto the measure. If the GOP stood strong, would the voters -- who hate Obamacare -- support the Congress...or Obama?

But the whole scenario depends upon the Republican House leadership to have balls of stainless steel. When they obviously don't have the stomach for doing anything difficult...

Compared to what we’ve got, catastrophe doesn’t sound all that bad

don’t know the guy from adam, but i’m guessing he’s a libertarian republican.

"All the president has to do is wait and they’re going to cave.”

I cannot believe how weak and cowardly my former political party has become.
/facepalm

The Republcians can't risk shutting down the government because even though everybody who gets up and goes to work every day to support themselves and their families never really notice it when the government is "shut down", the massive Democrat party base of moochers would soon find their snouts hitting the dry bottom of the public trough, and Republicans can't let that happen because then they will never get their votes...

Wait.
What?

[chris37]

Ah Shut up, Chuck, you spineless jellyfish.

Yeah, I went there.

[Defiant]

Relying Democrats who voted for McGovern, Carter, Mondale and Dukakis for advice: Really dumb.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Why does anyone listen to what this elite pig has to say?Remember the moron worked in the carter admin. so that should speak volumes.

[Diogenesis]

Krauthammer will do ANYTHING for Romney ;
even impose RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE for his beloved Willard.

[stanne]

Republicans are not behind this. Lee and Cruz are. Big difference. They will continue to shock and awe as they take their promise to defend the constitution literally. Things might look strange four a bit and then these gentlemen will begin to appear normal, while the abject weakness of all of Washington will begin to appear as sick as it truly is

“Never issue a threat you’re not prepared to in the end honor and deliver on..”

Yes,he's correct to say that.But having worked in US healthcare for 20 years and having done a good deal of research on CanadaCare (which Osama Obama is on record as having as his ultimate goal for the US) I can assure everyone that OsamaObamaCare,if fully implemented,will result in a catastrophe of unimagined proportions.

[Cyman]

Dr Krauthammer is correct. The GOP will cave faster than the woman in Paradise By The Dashhboard Light.

[dead]

As I read it he's merely saying that the congressional GOP does not have the balls to follow through, so they should not make idle threats and make themselves look foolish when they back down.

What exactly is incorrect in that analysis?
