We need to keep our eyes on the prize—which is taking over the Senate in ‘14. The driver for taking the Senate is Obamacare, and a budget battle will take the focus off of Obamacare.
In the long run the budget is far more important!
I don’t give a rats ass about health insurance.
Get government completely put of medicine and eliminate all health insurance and return to what health care was when i was growing up, get sick, got to doctor or hospital and pay for it.
health care was good and cheap.
Some conservatives on here demand the impossible and remind voters Republicans cannot be trusted with governing.
We don’t want to make life easy for the Democrats by being blamed again for a federal government shutdown. They’re the ones struggling with the fallout from Obamacare.
I want them to run on that in 2014. The budget deal can be revisited later. But the reality is without both a House AND a Senate GOP majority, there’ll be no making sure Obama is a lame duck for his last two years in office.
The big prize is that Obamacare is a political albatross around the Democrats’ necks. Besides that - the federal budget is small potatoes. Not worth changing the narrative to favor the Democrats about more GOP obstructionism.
