No Obamacare.

It will bust the treasury once and for all, and destroy our health care, our tremendous pharmaceutical industry, the last shred of privacy that remains to us, and the last bit of self-respect and self-reliance that remain to even fewer of us.

“The worst of it is I think that we have Obama right where we want him.”

Yes! Exactly. That is what astounds all of us. We are used to seeing the RNC blow a winning hand ... but this takes the cake. I dont see why these House guys can’t lug in a large monitor and PC and attempt to access the ObamaCare site while speaking. Constant demonstration of the website failure. They are being handed softballs and yet they grovel, stammer and beg

The solution is easy:

1) The government is adding $1 trillion per year in debt. Increase the debt limit by $250 billion or approximately 1/4 of a year of spending.
2) Pass appropriations bills for each department of the government with no increase in spending versus prior year (not the normal baseline increase of 7%). For HHS, fund all activities at prior year level except Obamacare.
3) Tell the people you’ve funded the government and extended the debt limit. It is now up to Reid and Obama whether or not they want to keep the government closed.

If the Senate refuses to vote on the bills every Republican should stick to the same talking points. We funded the government at the current level. We extended the debt limit. If the government remains shut down or defaults it is because the Democrats in the Senate chose the shut down and default.

Then let the chips fall where they may.

If Obama and the Dems say they need more spending, Boehner should tell them he is happy to negotiate any time they want to meet with him.

The Constitution gives the power of the purse 100% to the House. My message to the GOP - Use the power in the Constitution.

right! the media has taken their freedom of speech way to far. They are abusing their right by lying, and trying to influence the world and country’s agenda. The only hope for us is for conservative parents to teach and raise their off-spring to love this country.

Time for Boehner to say that we tried to talk sense to the moron, but no more offers until he puts some concessions on the table.
