For the second time in two days, Al Sharpton battled a conservative on Obamacare and the threat of a government shutdown. Tea Party Express chair Amy Kremer argued that Democrats are the ones who want to shut the government down, but Sharpton didn’t buy it, saying at some point, conservatives need to accept Obamacare is the law of the land and stop trying to take it down.
Kremer argued that even Democrats have said the health care law is “not ready for primetime,” so the goal right now is just to delay. Sharpton went through all the steps of the law being upheld, from Congress approving it to the Supreme Court upholding it to Mitt Romney losing on a platform of repealing it, concluding, “You lost, it’s the law!”
Kremer shot back that Democrats used a “parliamentary trick” to pass it in the first place, while Sharpton brought up all the Republicans who are starting to sour on the defunding idea. Kremer was a lot more bullish, saying the very fact House leadership brought it to the floor is a victory, and citing several red-state Senate Democrats she believes might end up joining the GOP.
Towards the end of the debate, Sharpton pressed Kremer to say that if the Senate rejects the House bill, Congress can go ahead and fund the government without the Obamacare defunding provision. Kremer hedged, insisting the Republicans have no interest in shutting down the government.
Anyone who would waste their time to argue with Sharpton may as well argue with a fireplug.
Laws can be changed, son.
Prohibition was once the law.
Jim Crow was once the law.
That’s the thing: There is no “head” of the Tea Party, and if there was, it wouldn’t be her. BTW, if I ever had a “sit down” with Al Sharpton, I’d just say things like “Tawana Brawley,” “Freddie’s Fashion Mart,” “Zimmerman exonerated,” and such like....
The 2’nd amendment is the law as well, Al.
Wasn’t slavery once the law?
Elections have consequences, boy. Sit down. Our reps are talking.
Good catch!
It needs to be pointed out to Addled Al needs that apparently only those parts Obama likes are actually the law - the rest can be delayed, ignored or exempted as desired.
I’m hoping to be able to do the same in the future with tax law - observe the parts I like, and ignore the rest - but so far no such luck.
Boy ... calling him boy will get you in deep dudu.
Or laws can be de-funded. Like the law, a few years back, mandating a border fence.
And now the Marxist/Islamofascist bastards are trying to enslave us! The fight for liberty is never over!!
So was prohibition, and slavery, Cochise.
I know. I don’t care. I also call him a servant- and that really pisses progressives off.
I fear no liberal, ever.
This coming from a guy who cried like a little b*tch when Zimmerman was found Not Guilty..Hey Sharpton, to use your own words..Zimmerman won, GET OVER IT
He’s right, but if there is no money, then it’s just paper, cheap one ply.
No, Al, we the people elected representatives who promised that they would rescind Obamacare in 2010. And now they are doing what they were elected to do. You want “democracy”? This is it, a-hole.
Nancey Pelosi :" You gotta pass it , to find out what's in it "
Nancey Pelosi : Who personaly "vetted " Sandra Fluke on condoms and birth control.
Nancey Pelosi : Who personaly "vetted" Barack Obama to the Hawaiian Democratic Delegation.
Enough said !
