They didn't say they'd defund it. They said they'd "vote to defund it". Does that mean AGAIN they'll sit in some back room and figure out who can vote it down and still get re-elected.
I'm so disgusted with the "conservative" HOR that was sent to DC. Their first action was to re-elect Boehner as Speaker.
More than ever and hard as it may be we gotta primary these GOPe frauds right out of office. Make them lame ducks and replace with patriots. A tall but necessary order. No more sending messages-—replace with messengers. Out with the old, in with the bold.
Whenever I read about Republicans trying to pass legislation popular with their base, I can’t help think of a scene in the Simpson’s Movie. They erect a small wall to stop people from dumping in the lake. They call Cletus to test it. He is carrying a opossum, or rat, or something. He bumps into the waist high wall, and looks befuddled. He bumps into it a second time, and then says, “Aw caint, aw jest caint.”
I can’t help but think of this scene every time I watch McConnell try to pass legislation that isn’t favored by Democrats.
