Uh, Jim-Rob, the problem is Americans always blame Republicans for gov’t shutdowns.
Regan was blamed
Gingrich was blamed.
R’s will be blamed again.
While it is badly needed (and the sequester was not nearly the disaster the President said it would be) this is like dropping a nuke on your foot because you have athlete’s foot.
I don’t care who gets the blame (or credit) as long as we kill ObamaCare before it kills America!!
Guarantee you if Boehner and company fund ObamaCare, we WILL have one party statist rule (as if we don’t already).
He who funds ObamaCare OWNS it.
Rebellion is on!!
Your analogy is so f’d up... ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! Athletes Foot? ATHLETES FOOT??? The problem is LOSS OF FREEDOM, and GOVERNMENT CONTROL of your life... maybe your a communist, I dunno...
Reagan, not Regan.
Is that you, Boehner?
Is that you, McConnell?
You sound like the ones who have killed the Republican party as a vehicle against evil statists and for constitutional freedom.
History proves that the Republicans who stood on principle did not overall suffer for it.
Re Gingrich: the next election Republicans HELD the House, losing only 9 seats which is a very small loss, historically, and in the Senate the GOP netted a 2-seat gain.
And in this case, Obama, Reid and the Media will of course blame them. Already are and it will get much worse. But the answer is NOT to act like whipped dogs or abused spouses.
The answer is get some people out in front who can wage the fight and who can make the case.
The American people despise obamacare.
Fight for THEM.
