Bozell To GOP: You Fund It, You Own It

The congressional battle over defunding Obamacare through the Continuing Resolution has all the intrigue and internecine bickering of a tawdry cable reality show.

For context, we need to rewind 14 months. I will not name names. It was a private meeting and I’ll honor its confidential nature. I will, however, discuss its contents. They are most instructive as we view the Obamacare defunding battle today, the political equivalent of Waterloo. We just don’t know which party is Wellington and which, Napoleon.

It was July 25, 2012. At a private weekly meeting of conservatives, a Member of Congress had brought news that made our jaws drop. With the Continuing Resolution (CR) debate looming, the entirety of the GOP on Capitol Hill was united in the strategy to give the Obama administration everything it wanted.

In just two scant years, the GOP managed to lose both houses of Congress, and then the presidency, by embracing the political prescriptions of the moderate establishment wing of the party.

It is time for every Republican Senator, led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to stand by Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and do everything in their power to defend and preserve the defund language passed in the House CR. If Republicans don’t fight this Obamacare battle with the sense of purpose required to win – and it’s a battle they most certainly can win – the loudest sound on Election Day 2014 will be the mass exodus of conservatives to the door, looking for new parties, or maybe just a nice beach to get away from it all. I suspect many, if not most, will never return.

Interesting insider's view of the GOP-E's naive (or calculated) funding of Obamacare in 2012.

[Diogenesis]

The GOP is filled with backstabbers and Team Romney
pushing ROMNEYCARE/socialized medicine/ObamaCARE.

Why? IT IS NOT FOR THEM, their families, and their staff.

[Viennacon]

Bozell is good to have on side. The Media Research Center is a good conservative resource, and Karl Rove hates it.

[Major Matt Mason]

I suspect many, if not most, will never return.

And this is exactly what the GOPe wants. They are perfectly comfrotable with cutting deals with their overseers in the Democrat party. Neither the RINO's or Rats give a rat's behind what conservatives think, and this whole Obamacare battle is simply the ultimate proof of that.

How about this? Want to get away from it all?

Rather eye-opening article, don’t you think?

I agree that Bozell is one of the good guys. I understand that he was William F. Buckley Jr.’s nephew!

Yeah, could we form our own Freeper State??!!
