Republicans should take a lesson from nature: Snakes eat weasels.
Republican weasels don’t take over in the House until next January and already they are curling up with Democrat snakes on repealing socialized medicine:
Their vociferous denunciations of PPACA notwithstanding, many House Republicans have expressed reservations similar to those of Rep. Paul Ryan: "Well, yeah, technically speaking, we can put riders in appropriations bills that say, 'No such funds can go to HHS to do x, y, or z in implementing ObamaCare.' He's gotta sign those things. And he doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would sign those things." Similar noises have been heard in the upper chamber. Retiring Senator Judd Gregg recently said, "I don't think starving or repealing is probably the best approach here …"
NOTE: John Boehner is a mongoose:
John Boehner was right when he said, "[W]e have to do everything we can to try to repeal this bill…"
Maybe the weasels can tell us what they plan on doing about socialized medicine if it is not defunded or repealed?
The way some Republicans talk it seems to me that they are more interested in protecting the snakes than they are in doing what a majority elected them to do. Of course Hussein is going to veto everything in order to keep HillaryCare II on the books. Voters knew that before the midterms. They also knew that repeal is the primary target; stomping congressional snakes who oppose repeal is the secondary target.
Hussein’s veto is not the end of it. The real test comes in the vote to override his veto. Failure to override is not the end of it. The elections in 2012 will be the final battle.
This next excerpt exposes the fear of a government shutdown for the fraud it is:
These and other Republicans are understandably chary of fighting a PR war with the White House. Their shellacking by Bill Clinton in 1995 is still green in their memories. But much has changed since then. Fifteen years ago, the Democrat-friendly "news" media could exert considerable control over the public perception of a battle between Congress and the President. Now, the blogosphere and conservative talk radio can -- and will -- provide an alternate narrative. And the voters who came out in such impressive numbers to repudiate the Democrats are not likely to be patient with a pusillanimous approach on this issue. Most would likely agree with the chairman of DeFundIt.org, who responded thus to Ryan's squeamishness: "[i]t is a policy battle we must fight…. Make no mistake, the conservative base will revolt against a Republican Party that backs down in a funding fight over ObamaCare."
Indeed, much has changed since the two shutdowns: Nov. 1995 and again in Dec. 1995 to Jan. 6 in 1996. In addition to the Internet’s increasing, and unstoppable, influence, the Tea Party has emerged. Any Republican who is planning on hiding behind 1995 would be wise to take a hard look at the new realities. Republicans looking for lifetime tenure in Congress should be more afraid of not standing up to Hussein and his dying liberal media.
Finally, a government shutdown of NON-ESSENTIAL SERVICES is short-term; socialized medicine is forever if it is not repealed. Look at it this way: Americans can easily live with a shutdown; they can’t live with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act —— literally.
Liberal media platforms will not control the dialogue this time; so Republican conservatives should make the choice clear in the weeks leading up to a shutdown.
