Republicans controlling the Senate are abandoning an effort to use their power over the federal purse strings to block implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Must-pass Spending Bill — An appropriations bill put forth by RINOs to cover their abject surrender under the guise of assuring that necessary services and programs are fully funded.

These RINO’s just don’t get it - Obamacare is not an ideological battle

IT IS DESTROYING HEALTH CARE FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS! It is hurting people badly.

The gang of 535, with an assist from John Robber Roberts, forced this on the citizens of the republic. For that and this…

I truly believe these gutless bastards will follow Obama around after he is out of the White House so they can continue to surrender to him.

They aren’t surrendering to him. They are his ideological brethren.

They won’t need to go far away from Capitol Hill to follow him. Obama is staying in Washington, DC where he can stir up all kinds of mischief.
