EVERY effort to combat this unconscionable travesty is worth it.
Blah, blah, blah
Nothingness
Roberts allowed whatever to deter him. Same with Boehner also...
Anyone who wants to fix problems for real will be deeply and vastly criticized by all especially the do nothing rinos
The author would prefer these gentlemen give into the desire for popularity I guess
Having a heart attack? Oh, I’m sorry, but the line starts outside. You’ll have to wait. This guy with the ingrown toenail and this young woman with alcohol poisoning from binge drinking... they’re more important.
Well Hell. Lets just go to single payer system, Rick Moran. Or, just go home. There is nothing we can do.
“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the
Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American
Indian.” Henry Ford
I don’t think Rick Moran has ever had an original thought.
His “journalistic” modus operandi is always to excerpt other folks articles and then write around that. He does the same thing at American Thinker. I hope he is paid according to his effort, which ain’t much.
May the author’s chains be light upon him.
We had treaty obligations to defend South Vietnam in April 1975. Treaty obligations are higher law than mere congressional statue and rank just below constitutional law.
Guess what? Congress passed a CR to defund defensive military operations anyway and this was the result:
“Why Trying to Defund Obamacare Is the Definition of Insanity” WHO tells these people they are experts and anything more than rolling boogers?
It seems many have been waiting for the House to take a stand for something.
From the article: (RE: Coburn’s main concerns)
“That’s primarily due to two factors. First, the government can keep spending during a shutdown using “no-year discretionary funds” and reserves set aside for mandatory expenditures. The ACA specifically set aside billions of dollars for its own implementation that won’t be touched by a shutdown. “
In the video below Ted Cruz said that his amendment to Continuing resolution language prohibits discretionary or MANDATORY spending.

Senator Ted Cruz “Why Is President Obama Threatening To Shutdown The Federal Government?”

But it appears that Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are not letting the facts stand in the way.
(My bold)
Self described "RINO" Rick Moran confuses what the political CRS said "might" happen with what are "facts".
He totally missed the point, and then embarrasses himself by mocking those making the point he missed.
Shutting down the government is not a goal. We don’t want the government shut down. We want to fund the government. We just don’t want to fund Obamacare implementation.
If we pass a law (like a continuing resolution) which funds the government, and explicitly prohibits all spending for Obamacare implementation, that will stop Obamacare (unless Obama breaks the law, which he does seem to like to do).
If the government shuts down, it will be because the democrats would rather punish the country than accept the defunding of Obamacare implementation. The republicans are not proposing that we shut it down.
So while it is true that a shutdown can’t stop Obamacare, passing a law can do so, and that is what Lee and others are pushing, not a shutdown.
A shutdown is what the democrats are pushing to ensure that Obamacare is funded.
Just another progressive drone lying for a fat corporate pay check.

“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?
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.
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..."
