Republicans no difference from Democrats

The Republicans have made 30 or 40 shows of repealing Obamacare. It would seem they have only done this because they knew nothing could or would happen from it. Now they actually have a chance to stop it and since the first time the idea was put forward they have looked for reasons why they should not defund it. This is something within their constitutional power. Supposedly they will take the blame for the government shut down.

All of this says that they think we are too stupid to know that the fault would be the democrat senate that refused to fund the government because of one thing they wanted to keep in their one and only significant piece of legislation. Beside doing this the congress has been a do nothing congress for the last 5 years plus and what they have done they would just soon forget because it was nothing but massive spending with the various stimulus packages.

Republicans came into the budget and debt ceiling issue stating ahead of time that they would not let the government shut down. This is as much as a fighting going into a fight saying I’m not going to use my right at all. Do they really think the Democrats don’t know they don’t have anything else to bargain with?

No Boehner is acting like it’s a serious threat to say delay Obamacare one year or face a shut down. It’s like he’s begging them to give him some opportunity to save face. Of course this only shows all the more that he is trying to help the Democrats and Obama remain as a law. He knows this will give the Democrats a chance to fix some of the many problems in the law. It also means that the damaging parts of the law won’t be seen till after the 2014 election and thus it helps shield the Democrats from what could otherwise be a very damaging election year for them.

This amounts to nothing more than a save for the Democrats and Obamacare and all the time he’s trying to pretend this is the best he can do. We know the Democrats are not listening to the American people. This is clear after the way they jammed Obamacare down our throats in the first place. But now we have Boehner and the most all of the Republicans pretending there is nothing they can do when this is the one thing they CAN do!

Republicans don’t seem to get that actions speak louder than words. They acting like taking a stand is going to get them removed from office and that’s why they’re not doing anything, but the filibuster by Ted Cruz proved just the opposite. He has more support now than he ever had before taking a stand and doing the filibuster.

As to the media or the Democrats making this about them shutting down the government because of one thing they should have been out in front of that before the Democrats every said it. They should have started with, “We’re going to defund Obamacare but fund the rest of the government and if Democrats are willing to shut down the government over one thing by not passing our bill then they are the ones shutting down the government over one issue.” They had to know that’s what was coming and as with most things it helps if you beat the other side to the punch because the argument goes both ways and they just need to put it back on the Democrats.
