>>The GOP is in decent shape to make meaningful gains in the Senate and maybe the House in 2014. Regaining control of Capitol Hill is the only way to overturn ObamaCare. Don’t blow our only chance to stop this train wreck pursuing political theatre...<<

In my opinion, the best way to make those gains you see happening is for the GOP to stand firm and vote to defund Obamacare.

If the Senate fails to go along, you get a list of Senators who shut down the government for the sake of saving Obamacare.

If the Senate caves, and President Obama vetoes, you get a list of Senators, and House members, who supported President Obama in shutting down the government for the sake of saving Obamacare.

Whoever votes to shut down the government just to save Obamacare has the losing side of the political battle on this one. Shut it down and let’s see who caves.

Will constituents be calling Republican Congressman saying that they need their benefits so badly that the GOP has to go along with Obamacare, or will they be calling Dem Congressmen saying, “To hell with Obamacare, give me my benefits!” Don’t forget, most of them have Dem Congressmen in the first place.

Boehner wants to protect the budget cuts provided by sequestration. Those cuts are “small ball” compared to Obamacare.

...Whoever votes to shut down the government just to save Obamacare has the losing side of the political battle on this one. Shut it down and let’s see who caves....

It is important to avoid projecting one’s own enthusiasms on the broader public. The ACA isn’t popular, but it is more popular than denying grandma her social security check and the wives and children of soldiers in the AfPak theater their paychecks and a million other things that the mainstream media will seize upon. Whatever the echo chamber of FR leads you to believe, the country won’t be behind Cruz and Co. on this hopeless crusade.

Did you not hear POTUS yesterday taunting the “extreme right” to go ahead and make his day? A shutdown is precisely what he wants. It saved Billie Jeff’s chestnuts in 1998 and it will save this charlatan’s in 2013. Don’t fall for this trap again.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
