If the house hold the line (as is their constitutional right and duty) then the senate doesn’t even matter. We do not need the senate or the president to defund obamacare. We just need the house not to pass any bill that funds it. Period. No matter what.

And as has been posted many times, Obama/Reid cannot shutdown essential services no matter how many times they threaten. The worst they can do is cause legions of government employees to be laid off. Whoopee!

The military will be paid. The social security checks will be paid. Medicare will be paid. The courts will function. The mail will continue to run, but maybe on fewer days. The air traffic controllers will remain on the job. The essential bills will be paid. The Congress and the White House will remain open, but perhaps without heating and air-conditioning and without so many lawyers, staffers, assistants and underlings. The congresscritters can wear sweaters in the wintertime and sweat it out in the summer heat and do their own dirty work.

But whatever happens, the House must not fund Obamacare. That will be checkmate for our constitution.

Yes. I agree.

They realize and we realize it. And for that reason, I don’t think they care so much about the CR. Everyone knows its a nonevent. But throw the debt ceiling into the mix and, well, watch the pucker factor increase tenfold. Note dear leaders recent speech. He was rattled. Not about deathcare, but the debt ceiling.

“But whatever happens, the House must not fund Obamacare. That will be checkmate for our constitution.”

I agree. That’s why we shouldn’t hesitate to up the stakes. It’s just like poker: we got your continuing resolution and raise you a debt ceiling. Oh and by the way, we’re a bunch of insane Tea Partiers. So we’ll be fine if the government shuts down and the debt ceiling isn’t raised.
