Senator Cruz made this observation:

“If 41 Republicans stand together in the Senate or 218 Republicans stand together in the House, we can win this fight; we can defund Obamacare in its entirety,”

The clock is ticking and to date 14 Senators and about 80 House members are on board.

“But the only way that’s going to happen is if the American people stand together and demand it.”

The Kaiser Poll shows 57 percent of Americans oppose defunding it. While ObamaCare is not popular, people feel that the budget process should not be used as a tactic to circumvent a law. I am on board with this philosophy because I really resent when Executive Orders are used to bypass legislation.

Both Sen. Pat Toomey and Congressman Pat Meehan claim they can pass legislation to dismantle Obamacare apart bit by bit. They say they have the votes (bi-partisan) to repeal the tax on medical instruments and to get rid of the death panel (IPAB). There is agreement on other aspects as well. They don’t want Obamacare to survive any more than we do.

Recently I have started to cringe when I hear “hold’em accountable”. Heritage and other groups pressure us to hold lawmakers “accountable” if they fail to heed our DEMANDS. Just how do you hold someone accountable for something he never PROMISED to do? Will Toomey and Meehan be marked with scarlet TP letters since they obviously don’t intend to comply with the Cruz/Lee ill-fated scheme?

The sad truth is that Big Government Republicans want it as much as the Dems do lets face it Bureaucrats love Bureaucracy they think it gives them purpose and besides they can't let the people handle it because they think they are to stupid to do it without Washington's fingers in the pie.

They won't let the free market work the way it is supposed to so in the end Government involved in your Health is here to stay despite their political talk

Yes but the other truth is that there are small government Republicans and we can't paint all with the same brush.

That is what happens when you poll the stupid and clueless and then base polices off of it
