A continuing resolution without funds for ObamaCare won’t be signed by Obama. You are correct.
Not having a CR at all won’t defund ObamaCare, either. You are correct.
The conservatives want to put a CR in front of him to sign that funds all of government except ObamaCare and have the people understand that it is Obama who is shutting down the government and not them.
They need to be putting that in ads, in emails, in franking privileges, and in every means of communication they can think of RIGHT NOW.
Because when it actually comes to the showdown, the media is NOT going to carry their water for them.
In other words, they have to get AHEAD of this particular story. Sadly, they can’t agree. So, if they don’t agree until the last minute, then they will be handed their heads by the media.
That’s what’s terrible about Boehner’s dithering.
You missed a step.
That CR must get through the Senate.
Now if the GOP had just 51 willing Senators (all a budget needs) it would be possible to challenge Obama with it directly.
But I bet that Senate only has about 15 or so. You know them.
So Obama will get on TV and blame that ‘no good do nothing GOP congress’ then, just guessing now...Bohner gets with Reid and cuts another CR deal....
Like the reruns of Gilligans Island (now playing on MeTV)
