No. But I think that defunding Planned Parenthood and Obamacare are important issues that the Republicans should be fighting for. And I think that defunding Obamacare and, to a lesser extent, Planned Parenthood are worth taking the risk of a government shutdown. But what Ryan and McConnell are saying is that neither issue is worth a fight. Not even worth anything more than an empty gesture. So why not just admit that and save is all this meaningless vote?
Or can you think of another way to defund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare that would work?
“Or can you think of another way to defund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare that would work?”
Yes, I can. Ensure the Republicans maintain control of both houses and elect a conservative Republican president that will not veto defunding Obamacare or Planned Parenthood. There is no other viable strategy. It’s time to focus on what we can do and quit wasting time on unproductive things like government shutdowns.
