For those of you arguing over semantics, let’s draw this out a little.
Yes, the House has voted 40 times to repeal ObomaCare. Yes, it has failed in the Senate every time. However, it looked as if Boehner was going to cave to Obama, and had Cruz not gotten over 2 million signers and kept taking this to the media, Boehner would have.
Cruz got America involved, which then led Reince Priebus to declare that the republicans must stand on this issue, as it was the will of the people...not to mention that donations were off by 40% because people were pissed with the republicans talk of ObamaCare being the law, etc., etc. Cruz kept the rhetoric going, reminding the republicans that the people do NOT want this bill enacted. Let’s remember, as Ted does, that this bill was enacted illegally and without ONE republican vote. If we do not keep this before the people and Congress knowing how upset we are, it will become a monstrosity bigger than we could ever imagine.
So, basically, Ted has led the fight to keep American taxpayers and electorate involved in this, to encourage the republicans to stay in the fight and not give in. You have all noticed a handful of republicans who just want this all to go away. Well, maybe we can encourage THEM to leave the party, if that is how they truly feel, so we can know what to do with those who are RINOs in the next election...and I pray we are all keeping track of the RINOs in the party! We must primary these people out in 2014. No exceptions.
There are plenty of RINOs who have voted to defund because they know it passes in the House and they can look good on paper. Now we are seeing who they really are by watching the ones who are ridiculing Cruz.
Without Ted Cruz, the House votes to defund really mean nothing. It is holding to the line in the face of Chicago thuggery that really shows what true patriotism is. As was reported the other day, ...Obama may have won the presidency (Although I doubt he won it fairly) but the republicans still won the House...at the same time! He cannot have his way when the people want the republicans to stand. PERIOD!
Hey, I agree with you! I'm not arguing...
