The House does have the power of the purse (they are the only constitutionally authorized originating entity for spending bills, and it should rightly defund anything and everything with respect to Obamacare.
The only thing I worry about appropriations-wise, if a budget bill is passed, it will have to go through a House-Senate Conference which reconciles Senate appropriations with the controlling House bill and then a final House vote on whether to accept or reject the report.
This is where I feel we will get shived in the back by our own RINO House conferees, and the level of what they finally agree on will be buried in gobbley gook wording buried in the conferee report. Most House members will never read the conferee report and cross reference back to both bills.
Defund ObamaCare!!
Heritage is doing great work under De Mint. A wonderful bullet list to keep.

All true, well and good.
They won’t/ They won’t because they believe, rightly in my opinion, that we will continue to vote for them as soon as they rehash the fear of “The Dems are worse.
They will pretend none of this ever happened and so will many on the right because every election we repeat the game of them pretending to be right of center and we make excuses because ‘the Dems are worse’.
Jim and everyone, until they are removed from power this will not change. And they will never be removed as long as people on the right make excuses for why we have to compromise our principles.
it will never change until the voices on the right screaming bloody murder that we ‘have’ to support this leftist bunch are told to shut the hell up and go to hell. No one wants to admit that but the logical truth is that as long as the people empowered to govern have no fear of blowback, they will move ever leftward. And do it with the blessing of all the people making excuse after excuse for them, forgiving and forgetting and picking the lesser evil over the principled choice.
And contrary to many idiots claims, we do indeed have a choice.
Somebody tell Mitch McConnell...
I’m quite glad Texas didn’t vote for and give its electoral votes to Obama.
Even if the winning candidate in Texas had been Elmer Fudd.
I would have been glad of it compared to Obama taking my beloved state.
Make no mistake. It’s not arguable. If Texans followed your demand, Obama would have won here, too. I thank the Lord Texas did not and Obama did not.
I’ve said this to you before. I say it again. You never stop repeating your mantra to the world, and I’m not going to hesitate to repeat the results of your mantra, if followed.
We must unify behind someone who can transcend the mind-blowing challenges America faces including all the little divisive “cells” and beat the libs like Reagan did, and in the name of Constitutional governance.
Down that road is hope.
Down your road is more excuses and more leftist Republicans. If you willfully drive it, you are as much the problem as McCain since you both work toward the same thing.
Like rubio who is now trying to become the comeback kid. Bad on amnesty, but doesn’t like obahahacare. Well, I no longer care what rubio likes. Bye. And the same goes for every rino on my radar.
Oh, I’ll do my part and call and fax the bastiches that occupy the seats now, but never will I vote for a dayum one of them again.
I would also correctly point out that the type of people you want are the people we now have. The ones that refused to defend their own DOMA, the ones that are ramming immigration down America’s throat, the ones that refuse to use their constitutional power to rein in Obama’s illegal use of exec authority or investigate in any meaningful/results filled manner and a lot more.
That’s the result of your ‘hope’.
Have we not heard enough ‘hope and change’ insanity from libs? Now supposed conservatives want to echo them? How about ‘Results’. How about ‘Principles”. How about doing the job by the Constitution. How about that?
How about admitting that for decades since Reagan (who said a party cannot be eall things to all people), the GOP has fed us a progression of ever more leftist candidates, the last indistinguishable from a lib by his actual record?
You want more of that? Then why are you complaining about our government? You got exactly the people you want more of now.
Mark my words. In a few months, many freepers will condemn anyone who says a bad word about him. Cuz he can “Win!”....
So be it.
Yup. But we’d all be better off as a country if they weren’t allowed to spout liberal BS with impunity. And anything in support of Senator Amnesty is nothing BUT liberal propaganda. All it does is confuse the issue,
BUMP!
Appropriations Bills CAN Defund Obamacare, and Boehner, McConnell, and the rest of those weak, cowardly bastards KNOW IT.
Pinging the ping lists..as a special FYI!
