Again, I'd like to show the flip side of the coin...grinding the Govt. to a halt might be the best thing to happen.
I looked at this today by the way.
There hasn't been a budget in years now. The President is supposed to submit a budget in a timely manner...Congress is supposed to tweak it, negotiations take place and then FINALLY a budget happens.
But that has not happened at all. Obama has missed the deadline for even SUBMITTING the budget 4 out of 5 years.
So the whole govt. is running on a "CR": Continuing Resolution
Apparently the Republican gambit in this is to submit a CR that funds EVERYTHING except ObamaCare.
So if the Pres. wants to have Harry Reid and the Senate approve that CR he, and he alone...will be responsible for keeping the govt. running.
It takes 2 to tango. And the President has been very, very detached from working with Congress.
Somebody is going to pay the piper.
If all of you who believe Obama Care is really, really good for the country truly believe in your ideals..then this is a GREAT thing!
The Republicans will screw themselves and be voted out of office for it.
So what's up with all the screaming about it from Democrat pundits? They should be happy!
UNLESS...they are seeing the poll numbers which say the majority of the American People don't want it.
Nothing scares politicians more than losing elections.
Then they lose their power and money. (and their exemption from ObamaCare too lol)
I guess we will see what happens.
But right now the Republicans are pretty confident and are giving the impression that they are following the mandate of their constituents.
But y'all know how politics goes. A week from now that could be reversed...or not.
A lot of Dems are real nervous right now with elections around the corner for them...especially after those Dems got booted out of office in a recall election in Colorado after they voted for more gun control.
In the end...if you piss off the voters TOO much, they will finally take notice and then it's your ass.
So we'll see if it's Republican ass or Democrat ass that's on the line here...but at the moment it seems to be Democrats pitching a hissy fit and screaming about the "crazy" Tea Party.
Time will tell.
