You really aren't intelligent enough to follow what is going on here so let me see if I can educate you.McConnell shoves back | Fox News
It’s on now - Both McConnell and Minority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, both publicly rejected the Cruz-backed strategy and are encouraging colleagues not to block the House bill. A source close to Cruz told Fox News that the junior senator from Texas was “caught off guard” and “very upset” when he got wind of what was going on, adding he felt like he was “stabbed in the back.”
Over to you, Senator Paul - Both McConnell and Cruz want to defund ObamaCare, but McConnell and others in leadership aren’t willing to risk a government shutdown to try to do so. Conservative lawmakers who have kept mum on the tactical dispute will start to make their positions known today. The stakes are huge. Perhaps the most important voice on the topic will be McConnell’s home-state Senate colleague, Rand Paul of Kentucky. Paul stands with Cruz on the strategy, but will he join conservative groups in condemning those who fail to filibuster the House-passed plan?
Tea Baggers in the Senate actually want to prevent the Senate from voting on the House budget continuation bill that defunds ObamaCare.
so what the hell do they want to vote on? nothing????????
these guys are losing their minds.
They aren't voting against the bill that defunds obiecare, they are voting against cloture which would mean that piece of sh*t ried would only need 51 votes to cut the defunding of obiecare portion of the bill instead of 60. He can't get 60 votes to fund obiecare. That's why when the law was passed he had to use an end around to get it to go the first time. He needs to do just that again to keep it law. If he needs 60 votes he can't get the budget to fail and it goes to president mom pants who will then be forced into a veto or signing the law. Ried is trying his best to not get this weak president in this situation.
Goobers, gotta despise them. No law defunding ACA will go from the Senate to Obama.
Ever.
A 54-vote bill will go back to the House for reconciliation with ACA restored to it, with hours to go before the deadline.
The onus will be on the House if it does not pass.
