The only REAL way the Republicans can stop Obama is to stop paying for his government.
However, the Republicans are deathly afraid of doing so because they allowed the Obama and his support team, known as the media, to frame the issues as the Republicans “Shutting down the government” which hurts average Americans.
This was really the one of two weapons they had and when they used it, the Left made up a narrative proving Congress to be the bad guy rather than Obama.
The other weapon they have but did not use—I just don’t understand—was to pass spending bills severely limiting CERTAIN spending, and challenge Obama to veto them.
This would cause at lot more work on Congress’s part, because they’d have to pass and complete bills for each department/government program, but it would put the ball clearly in Obama’s court.
So they’ve simply given up.
They will wait until after the elections to force a showdown, when, in their eyes, it doesn’t matter if the big old meanies in the media make them look bad again.
Of course, they could knuckle down and fight, but that would be an effort.
They don’t call ‘em the Stupid Party for nothing’!!!! Throw in “Lazy”, too!

It is time to realize republicans are not weak. They are COMPLICIT.
It is well past time to destroy the republican party and start over.
No, they are in cahoots with one another. We have the Uniparty, which is owned by the corporate elites and special interests. The politicians have become so disconnected from the public and our national interests that they have the arrogance to pass this Omnibus bill. They are giving us the big middle finger. We deserve the government we get.
Tear it all down. It is beyond fixing.
