House GOP vote to defund Obamacare, keep gov't open

[koalabear]

The 230-189 vote sets the stage for a confrontation with the Democratic-led Senate, which promises to strip the health care provision from the bill next week and challenge the House to pass it as a simple, straightforward funding bill that President Barack Obama will sign.

Now Oblamer can shut down the government.

Too bad Obama might be growing a spine. While I'd expect him to blink he seems to be showing a little backbone.

Still the Republicans are scum for playing this game.

Obama should just change it to remove funding from the Congressional health care plan instead.

 

[Missys_boytoy]

Yep, Obama/Reid can shut it down.

Can't blame Republicans if it happens. Can't blame Republicans for selecting what laws to enforce either. Oblamo is the king of selective enforcement.

There will be nobody else to blame but the Republicans and America knows that well. And Obama's the King? He chose not to defendDOMA what else is there?

Hi my name is Koala Bear I am a moron that thinks I live in a free country where politics actually happen even though it's obvious to all the banks just steal all the money and the war mafia just bombs any country it wants to and the police state crushes all.

You and every partisan hack piece of shit like you is probably, demonstrably, quite literally a brainless coward with a slave's mind.

Why Obama care is a lousy bill, which they are too many exmptions for favored groups. Let the congress go on Obama care instead of their Caddilac plans which we pay for.

True, roughly 35% want Obamacare vs 61% who do not want Obamacare. That doesn't change the fact that Republicans are the ones shutting this down and America knows it. It also doesn't change the fact that of the 61% who don't like it 15% want UHC so yeah. . .are you going to vote for uhc cus I promise you the Dems will leap over themselves if Republicans offer to replace Obamacare with Single Payer, otherwise yeah.

Hmmm, I just Googled "2012 Presidential Election," and the results told me that the guy who promised to get rid of Obamacare lost to, er, Obama himself.


You, Squeaky Cruz, and all the other simpletons who claim to speak for "America" are full of shit.

Those Americans who give Obama a pass are responsiblek for the mess we are in. They voted for a failure and an incomptent.

There are few exemptions. We have a country with hundreds of millions of citizens and tens of thousands of companies. Of course there are exemptions.

Where is this Congress isn't on Obamacare bullshit coming from? Nobody making more than 100k is on Obamacare partially because nobody is on Obamacare anywhere nor will they ever be. The closest there is are the exchanges but why would the rich be on those?

No we didn't. You and the people filibustering are responsible and lets say for the sake of argument that you're not. You should have stood down, let us look stupid and fuck up so you could point out why your way is better. As it stands we can say things have gotten better year after year under our control and they would have been better if we hadn't been playing with both hands tied behind our backs. In a democracy it is the obligation of the loser to step down and you didn't.

Everyone I know does.

Pelosi’s district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn’t have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.

Other common waiver recipients were labor union chapters, large corporations, financial firms and local governments.

That level of bullshit requires citation.

One of the more important conservative beliefs about Obamacare, running right alongside the certainty that the law is a disaster that will fail in every respect, is the belief that Americans share their antipathy to the law. It certainly is true that the Affordable Care Act has a bad reputation, and the latest poll showing that support for Obamacare has dipped prompted the same wave of conservative gloating that results from every such poll. But looking even an inch beneath the surface reveals a public more frustrated and confused by Obamacare than opposed. Its specific elements poll well, though they’re the least known elements. Four out of ten Americans don’t realize the law hasn’t been struck down. A new poll out shows that the public, by a ten-point margin, trusts Democrats over Republicans on health-care issues. By a 52–34 percent margin, they want Congress to implement or tinker with the law rather than repeal it. The nearly ubiquitous conservative belief that the public shares its passion for repealing Obamacare is a spate of self-delusion.

Hey if the sleezbags in congress paid out of their own pocket, no problem but it is a congressional perk.

In a Fox News poll 64 % are against Obamacare.

What percentage thinks that Obamacare needs to be more comprehensive?
