Just another progressive drone lying for a fat corporate pay check.

Good analogy, and I think it works because with amnesty people can intuitively understand how “just letting it happen” could be bad for them personally.

Healthcare is different. Most folks at any given moment are pretty healthy. It’s not intuitively obvious how bad this is going to be for individuals when they are the one caught in the nightmare bureaucratic web of death this system will create. But by then it will be too late for them as individuals.

That, BTW, was the masterstroke of genius in Palin calling out the “death panels.” It was a brilliantly creative way to give ordinary people the power to see the ugly future of life under Obamacare. Which of course is why it was so severely criticized and ridiculed by the Regime. Never underestimate the power of words. Churchill one said that he who has the power of the spoken word has the equivalent of armies under his command. Palin gets this. Cruz gets this. A few others. We need more like them.

Exactly. It’s a license for the Feds to control every aspect of the economy and your life under the pretense of “healthcare” and it’s frightening beyond belief.

“The effort by some Republicans on the Hill to shut down the government in order to prevent the implementation of Obamacare...”

False premise. The intent is not to shut down the government...the intent is to stop Obamacare. If the govt. is shut down, that will be Obama’s decision.

This is another “Why RINOs love to fail” article.

The RINOs know that every battle that is never undertaken will have a 100 % chance of failure.

BTW, did John “Cave-In” Boehner ghost write this article?

Ahhh, but what happens when this bill reaches:

1) The Harry Reid Senate

(and even if we were to pass that unlikely hurdle )...

2) Obama’s desk?

Wouldn’t it have the same effect as the House passing bill after bill (count them, 37 times, the most recent one by Michele Bachmann ) to repeal Obamacare?

Right you are and notice that it's the RINO Moran pushing the false premise propaganda.

It is all just theater and the only thing that will stop obamacare is to defund it and anyone saying it can’t be done is a damned liar.

RE: anyone saying it can’t be done is a damned liar.

OK, how do you think the scenario will play out?

Let’s start with how a de-funding bill can pass the Harry Reid controlled Senate....

Yo, Rick, the Dems exposed Obamacare as farce when the Administration decided to forgo the employer mandate for at least a year, and then decided to allow people to enroll with the insurance exchanges under an "honor system" ( we're not going to see if they actually qualify for subsidies ).

And the WH decided to implement these changes without going through Congress.

This guy condemns Cruz and Paul for insulting remarks against the rinos. I guess he’s never seen the insults the rinos slung first.

It will play out with the rats getting obamacare funded and every other penny of the communist central command government’s spending that obama wants. According to Mark Levin, you attach a defunding amendment to any budget limit increase and allow obama to veto it and then nothing gets funded until obama capitulates or leaves office. This would take republicans calling dims liars and thieves and explaining the games that they play and how horrible obamacare is and will be and how much damage it will do to every working American family... which is why I say nothing will happen but obama and the communists getting everything that they want and then some.

Au Contraire!
It is a historical example of the exception that proves the rule.

When something fails spectacularly after a long long time of criticism and opposition, the imbeciles proposing the thing simply shrug and mumble, "We meant well." Then walk away.

When a spectacularly inept and incompetent law is opposed continuously for years because it can't possibly work, when it finally collapses the opponents can proudly claim, "We knew it all along. Good riddance."

Not nearly as pathetic as "We meant well..."

Until they get a select committee and start threatening criminal prosecutions, the rats will block and defend until hell freezes over. I love Issa’s passion but boehner needs to go full nuclear on these communists... which he will not.

Once its in place it will join other brilliant ideas like the 16th and 17th amendments and social security zombies stumbling along in perpetuity.

LOL!
Those amendments are not universally celebrated as "brilliant."
In fact, it can be argued that they triggered the inevitable decline of the truly brilliant checks and balanced government that created the successful United States of America.

Obamacare will need much more rational justification than those! Few celebrate the impending transformation of a nation of Citizens into a Nation of Subjects.
