Obamacare defunded...

[Vertnut]

My prediction:

The Senate will kick it back without the defunding section in it. Boehner will scream and kick and work with Reid and Obama for a short delay on Obamacare in exchange for passage. The House will pass it with that delay in it, the Senate will kick and scream and pass it as well while blaming Republicans for harming the poor, children, and the old.

Then a few months later we hit the debt ceiling debate and in December, the CR ends and the debate begins again for Jan onward.

I also think that's pretty close to what will happen. It depends on the public feedback to the house/senate. It's VERY important that we (as a nation) express our displeasure with Barry-Care by contacting our Reps and Senators. They DO respond to the public. It was proven with the gun control issues recently and now immigration reform is taking a back seat. The only thing those assholes fear is NOT being re-elected. They can be bought by the threat of being sent home.

Reid doesn't want to do a vote on Obamacare again. It cost him seats last time and it will again, especially with unions pissed that they aren't exempt.

A lot of people don't understand the strategy on this issue. Any kind of vote shows a true "head count" of the congressmen that "approve" of this horrendous hunk of monkey shit. With mid-terms coming in a year, it WILL give the republicans (and conservatives) fodder for gaining seats in both houses.

Election season should be quite interesting this mid-term. It's gonna get nasty!!
God I love watching self righteous jackasses in smear campaigns against each other. Maybe they'll actually do more than bitch & mudsling, but I won't hold my breath.

Senators like McCain and other RINOs don't like this because it forces them to either vote with democrats against their constituents and be hit with a primary or vote against Obamacare and possibly vote against their interests. Quite a few dems don't want to vote on this either. Reid is going to pull every trick he can to keep it from coming to the floor for a vote where everyone's vote is counted.

He'll try for a voice vote to give cover.
