Republican presidential contender John Kasich is taking a page from Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnells playbook, warning GOP conservatives against demanding Planned Parenthoods federal funding be eliminated from the must-pass temporary spending bill that would keep the government open.
Echoing McConnells words, the Ohio Governor said in New Hampshire Saturday and then argued on Fox News Sunday, that President Obama would veto any spending bill that transfers funds from Planned Parenthood to womens healthcare facilities that do not perform abortions. Kasich warns that could make Republicans vulnerable if the government subsequently shuts down.
I think there are other ways for Congress to try to deal with this, Kasich said. And they need to be more creative in regard to Planned Parenthood. But when you shut the government down, people dont like it. And you shouldnt shut it down unless you have a great chance of success.

Then maybe the gop-e doesn’t need our votes! A real Conservative Party might.
Assume the GOP actually moves to pass a bill that de-funds Planned Parenthood.
There are two possibilities:
1. They never pass it because the Dems filibuster and there aren’t 60 votes for cloture.
The Government shuts down. Whose fault is that? The Dems.
2. They pass it and it is vetoed by the President and the government shuts down.
The Government shuts down because a shutdown is a lesser evil in Obama’s mind than de-funding Planned Parenthood. Who’s fault is that? Obama and the Dems.
Why is this not the obvious strategy? I’ll answer that question before anyone beats me too it:
Because the MSM will blame the GOP and the idiots who run the GOP believe what they read in the newspapers and see of TEEEE VEEEE.
And lose a seat at the cool kids' table?
GOVERNOR KASICH: WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUE SPENDING ON THE ITEMS WE ARE SPENDING ON, AND HAVE NOT HAD A BUDGET FOR YEARS.
Kasich is an idiot politician without a lick of business sense.
Go back to Ohio and take Boehner with you.
If any American misses a meal because of a government shutdown, the government has become too big and too pervasive, and it needs to be pared down, substantially.
Kasich also wants to take in syrian refugees.
Go away Kasich.
Kasich... Baby Murder is Murder... stop making us pay for government sponsored murder of innocents. CUT off their money for murdering babies. Prosecute the perpetrators. Force Plans for providing parents to these unwanted children/babies.
If this is not stopped by any means possible and already available to these whacko Rinos in government already, God may inspire our enemies to wipe us out too... some whack country like Iran. Kasich is already in government and should have gone nuclear in his state years ago. So is Cruz. So was Jeb (terri schiavo) Bush, Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Lindsey (sister boy) Graham cracker.
Shut it all down. Block every dime and every bill until the Baby Killing Sponsorship program is “dead jim”. No Quarter... even if they beg for it... because they shut their ears to the cries of the dead babies they have murdered in the name of Sexual Freedom.
Auschwitz has not changed, just because republicans at government levels apparently think it can operated safely behind closed doors at some clinic or hospital, using acid, strangulation and thorax crushing tools, within the fertile wombs we have now ruined by damned culture.
Using a government sponsored doctor’s office, health clinic or hospital does not make it one iota less than cold blooded, premeditated murder for hire, in the first degree. Remember, Mr. Hyde was actually a doctor named “Jekyll”
Nowadays, these Mr. Hyde types run for election in government... We need to turn up the rhetoric and vitriol until murderers begin to fear the repercussions of their vile actions against the lives of the innocents.
Kasich is just another pathetic Vichy Republican.
The Whigs have made a comeback and they call themselves Republicans.
These guys are afraid of losing chairmanships.
We have had shutdowns before and GOP gained seats in the next election.
I am sure Christians would be so pumped up if GOP eliminated funding Planned Parenthood abortion funding they would show up in droves to back GOP.
Show some leadership and energize the Base.
Kasich and McConnell should be prosecuted along with all of the others in the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government, and all the other co-conspirators, for crimes against humanity. They should be incarcerated and their body parts should be auctioned off.
The injustices and tyranny of our present government are far worse than any that provoked the revolution.
The GOP just needs to TRY.
Hell, think of the ads they could run in 2016.
They don't have to pass jack squat, just get the dems ON RECORD voting FOR dismemberment.
This rolling over meekly crap is getting so damn old.
Make Obama OWN everything. Make the democrats OWN everything.
Sure there will be vetoes and gnashing of teeth, but at least you TRIED.
I’m not sure who I detest more, Jeb! or Kasich.
When is the Republkican leadership awake to the fact that the Senate is now democratic body. If you have a majority, even a one-vote majority, use it. Filibusters are passé.
Kasic is the WSJ candidate
If keeping just one more BABY from being sliced open as it’s struggling to draw his first breath isn’t worth shutting down the government...
WHAT THE HELL IS???
#25... Very well stated!
Kasich lost my vote at the first debate.
The Jon Huntsman of 2016.
The media goes full bore to make people think a government shutdown is unpopular.
If it were the democrats shutting down the government, they would be singing about the benefits.
We need more competition in the media. There should be news networks that run the stories that the liberal media ignore.
The only way to accomplish this is to bring the current media cartel down. Cut your cable tv.
