Yup....This for show. Watch how fast they cave when the Senate sends it back.
Can you just imagine this coming Sunday's NFL line up and then reading, " this game forfeited by....... team because they are odds on favored to lose by three touchdowns?"
I'll credit them for this first step, but the real test will come next in the showdown with the Senate. That's when we'll really have to lean on them to stand their ground.
Constitutionally, the House holds all the cards on appropriation of funds. Spending bills must originate in the House, and if the House doesn't include something in the budget, the Senate's only choices are to (a) convince the House to amend the bill or (b) block the whole bill. If the two houses fail to agree on the budget or continuing funding resolution, there is no money to spend. Upholding its Constitutional prerogatives requires courage that the GOP House has yet to display, but we can't accept their cowardly excuses anymore. The GOP House doesn't think we know the rules, so it's time to make sure they know we do - and that we're watching in advance of the 2014 primaries.
Win this thing or don't come home, unless your lifeless body is carried on your shield.
It won’t go back to the house. Reid will hand pick a committee of House and Senate members and they will fund this BS. I agree this is for show only so the RepublUnots can come back to us and tell us they voted against Zero care. It’s time for a real change. Cry-baby Bohmer has to go as well as anyone who cooked up this plan.
Hold the line! Reject the senate’s changes! Block this America-wrecking communist POS!!
“Yup....This for show. Watch how fast they cave when the Senate sends it back.”
We’ll see. Do I think we’ll prevail? Not really. But we can’t expect our representatives to do THEIR jobs if we won’t do OUR jobs and support them when they do the right thing. Even if it’s by sheer coincidence.

It is for show. Thats why this vote is nothing but a farce. The GOP is hoping we’re dumb enough to fall for it.
“GOP Doc: Vote to Defund Obamacare, Let Senate Erase It”
“A document House Majority Leader Eric Cantor distributed to all House Republicans on Tuesday, obtained by Breitbart News, confirms that he is planning to make it appear as though the House is voting to defund Obamacare while using a legislative procedural trick which would allow the Democrat-controlled Senate to strip defunding language from the Continuing Resolution.”
