"We can talk all we want but he is going to veto whatever we send him," Coburn said. "That's the reality."

Make him do it then.

[Paine in the Neck]

Make him do it then.

Exactly. To (mis)quote Casey Stengel - "Doesn't anyone here know how to play this game?"

Exactly. Fund the gov’t piece meal. Make Obama veto funding the military. Veto funding medicare. Veto funding SS. Veto funding border security. Veto funding INS. Veto funding the federal prisons. Just never send him a funding bill for obamacare.

Exactly. That has been my thought all along - make him do it.

[mmichaels1970]

Make him do it then.

Agreed. Then you vote to override and you get every stinking rat commie scumbag on record as supporting the veto.

[Fledermaus]

And my Tenneessee Titans are so bad this year they should just forfeit the rest of the season.

FU Coburn. Just do your damn job.

Why is everyone so defeatist - ergo, no need to do anything because he’ll just veto it?

Th e power of the veto is limited, else there’d be no use for the congress or Senate in the first place.

Work to get a veto-proof vote. After all, there’s many demRats who were safe this election round but will be up for reelection in 2016. O’bummer will be a non-entity. They won’t want to go the way of last weeks vote. There just may be enough to get us a veto-proof vote. What would that be? 68?

At least we should entertain the possibility, not just lay down and play rug. - geeeze.
