'I really believe we are in a great position right now," says Michael Needham, the 31-year-old president of Heritage Action, the lobbying arm of the nation's largest conservative think tank. By "we" he means the Republican Party and the conservative movement; their "great position" refers to the potential to win the political battle over the government shutdown.
Though Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is the public face of the high-risk strategy to "defund" ObamaCare, the masterminds behind it are a new generation of young conservatives, chief among them Mr. Needham. From a tactical view, the strategy has been deployed with precision. In August, only Mr. Cruz and a band of renegade tea-party Republicans in the House favored this approach, and the media collectively scoffed. But by September, House Republicans couldn't pass a budget without attaching the defunding rider that has grounded much of government.

We have reached the point where our PINO/Dictator/Emperor is showing everyone that he does not care at all what you or I think - Destruction of America is the #1 goal. Making us all squirm and whine in the process is just icing on the cake for Soetoro and his handlers. They fully believe that we won’t do anything to stop them from their Coup d’Etat.
As socialized medicine goes, Obamacare sucks at that too.
If this law stands we are nothing more then slaves, the tax increase in this bill will break everyone once they cross the poor threshold.

We have a “Strategist?”
Two weeks in, and this is the FIRST TIME I have ever heard of this guy.

Now that’s a great strategy!
Uh, when does it start?
