Why Obama May Lose the Shutdown Battle. (We will win this)
Real ClearPolitics ^ | 09/21/2013 | Rich Galen

Posted on 09/21/2013 5:06:42 PM PDT by ReaganÜberAlles

President Barack Obama, fresh from having his lunch money taken from him by Russia's Vladimir Putin, is flailing about trying to find someone he can shift the public's attention to. He has chosen House Speaker John Boehner (R-Oh) as the person and the upcoming end of the U.S. government's fiscal year on September 30 as his verbal weapon. I think that is the wrong fight against the wrong guy.

The political class's carrers are definitely on the line.

Even the imbeciles who voted for Obama are up in arms and 90% of the populace has absolutely no idea that the appratus is setting up software that crosschecks your income with the IRS against your medical, insurance, employment and credit records records to determine if you are "eligible" for a subsidy and are "compliant", and that this system is being run by domestic communists and low grade morons who haven't been put through background checks.

All hell is going to break loose, and the people will be coming for their Representatives, and they will be pissed.

Maybe....but trust in government is at an all time low. Doubtful the public will trust the dims after Obamawreck. A free market system which allows competition across state lines. With some sort of provision that allows folks with preconditions not to be shut out should be an easy sell.

Otoh, how many hundreds of thousands of people have had their insurance dropped entirely or had their hours reduced from 40 to 30 because of obamacare? For the work reductions, that is a 75% decrease in income because of the democrats.

Its a powerful fact.

ROTFLMAO! Well played, Mr. Galen.

The problem is that there is more poodle than Putin in both Boehner and McConnell.

Obamacare is such a wreck ...hell let them implement it. When it collapses we can blame it on the dims. Obama is on the ropes

That behemoth bill has grown from a ridiculous almost 3,000 pages to over 20,000 (and can someone explain why a law, once passed, can b e added to and changed and added to ad nauseam with no say so?) -

This bill now stands, physically, over 7' tall. Do you really think it's all about health care?

It's about total and forever control of your every move in life - they will have access to you bank accounts - and can deduct fines and whatever else they want...for example. And they WILL get rid of cash, you can count on, and force us to go to plastic only, your paycheck will go on automatic deposit (and they will have control) - total control of your every cent - And that isn't even scratching the surface.

This is not a bill about health care. It's a bill to totally take over this country. If it gets "implemented", there is no going back. There will be no putting that toothpaste back in the tube. We won't have the freedoms to do it.

WE must be aware of this - this bill is about totalitarianism. You want to live - and have your kids, grandkids and great grandkids live under what will be worse than the 80 years of Communism in Russia before the country fights it's way back?

Implementing this bill would be like being a little bit pregnant. This thing need to be aborted BEFORE it's implemented. We MSUT understand this.

It is only a 25% decrease in income, although it might be felt as larger since overtime will disappear.

It is still a powerful loss.

And that's the bill that the pubbies finalized and announced last week - their bill is a whole 200 pages vs the rats over 20,000 pages. that alone should clue people in as to obomnableCar being much more than health care

Unfortunately, Mitch McConnell says he is opposed to a filibuster. Can he be pressured to change his mind on that?

He has a mind?

You’re making my point for me. To get those enforcements in would be poluticky suicidal. They’d have to rewrite the law and that won’t be possible if we own the house and maybe the senate. If the dims tried to seize paychecks....or force folks to open checking accounts when they already owe back taxes or child support and would be seized.Would be an Atlas shrugged moment. Why do you think there’s so many currency exchanges?

We won’t win anything until this clown and all his bros are out off office. Unfortunately that will never happen as he’s appointed far too many as leaders in all government agencies.

Don’t worry. Rove, McCain, and the rest of the RINOs will save him.
