Mark Levin explained on Tuesday's program how the House is bringing the Continuing Resolution up for a vote, with Obamacare funding fully intact, and the majority of Republican's are going to vote for it instead of standing up to President Obama. Too many of these Republicans are forgetting why they've been sent to Washington; and that's quite apparent when they aren't even putting the survival of the Republic on the front burner.
theRightScoop: Mark Levin explains how the Republican leadership is ramming through a Continuing Resolution that funds the government for 6 months and it includes funding for Obamacare. The House rules committee has also voted to not allow for any amendments on the CR.He's already submitted a list of '30 House Republican patriots' who attempted to strip Obamacare funding out of the CR, but were blocked by the GOP leadership and their colleagues:
Levin says they were supposed to vote on it on Thursday, but the leadership moved it up to tomorrow in hopes that you won’t call, complain to your House member that it includes funding for Obamacare, and sway the vote against it.
Because of this, Levin is going to check the roll call vote tomorrow and he’s going to tell you who voted for Obamacare on the air tomorrow.
Amash (MI), Barr (KY), Black (TN), Blackburn (TN), Bridenstine (OK), Broun (GA), DeSantis (FL), Duncan (SC), Fleming (LA), Franks (AZ), Gingrey (GA), Gohmert (TX), Hanna (NY), Hudson (NC), Huelskamp (KS), Jones (NC), LaMalfa (CA), Lamborn (CO), Massie (KY), McClintock (CA), Meadows (NC), Pearce (NM), Rothfus (PA), Salmon (AZ), Schweikert (AZ), Stewart (UT), Stockman (TX), Wilson (SC), Yoder (KS), Yoho (FL)Here's more from Breitbart:
House Speaker John Boehner and House GOP leadership rapidly scheduled a Wednesday morning floor vote on legislation that will fund the government—including the controversial Affordable Care Act—for the rest of the year, Breitbart News has learned.There's very little time to call your congress members in the morning...and that's precisely how Boehner and the boys planned it. Peculiar how they similarly operate like their Democratic cohorts when it comes to avoiding you, isn't it? Flood their phone lines anyway.
As Breitbart News reported late Tuesday, 30 House Republicans have signed a letter demanding Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor not pass a Continuing Resolution that funds Obamacare at all. Jim Bridenstine of Oklahoma and Tim Huelskamp of Kansas sought to get other members to support the effort.
When Boehner and Cantor received the letter, a senior GOP source told Breitbart News that both were shocked by the large response and frantically scheduled the CR vote for Wednesday morning.
UPDATE I: Erick Erickson points to House conservatives as the problem...
RedState: Today, House conservatives will join with their Republican colleagues to vote on what is called a “closed rule.” This is a vote that will allow Republican leaders to bring to the floor of the House of Representatives the continuing resolution without...being able to defund Obamacare.Erickson said to watch to see how Jeb Hensarling, Tom Price, Jim Jordan, and Steve Scalise, supposed conservative leaders in the House, vote today.
Today, House Republicans will vote on a rule in the House of Representatives that, once approved, will allow the continuing resolution to pass while enabling and funding Obamacare.
House Conservatives will make it happen. In fact, House Conservatives who vote for the rule are voting to fund Obamcare. Passing the rule then conveniently voting against the actual continuing resolution cannot be given a pass.
Today, conservative groups must set a new standard — voting for the rule on the continuing resolution must be scored against.
Scoring on the rule must be the new standard because conservatives in the House of Representatives are all too often voting for rules to pass legislation they ultimately oppose when, had they blocked the rule, the legislation would not pass.
They will enable passage of the continuing resolution while voting against it. They will try to have it both ways.
See which of these conservative leaders and others fail us and fund Obamacare, while spinning their way through denial. Watch as they vote to fund Obamacare, then go home and tell you how much they oppose it because they ensured the continuing resolution would pass before voting against it.I'd say that if they participate in this kind of unprincipled and crooked politics, then they weren't actually 'conservatives' to begin with...just more wearing of sheep's clothing.
UPDATE II: Passed...with even fewer patriots.
Of the 151 members of the House who voted against this CR, only 14 were Republicans. They included: Justin Amash (Mich.), Jim Bridenstine (Okla.), Broun (Ga.), Ron DeSantis (Fla.), Scott DesJarlais (Tenn.), John J. Duncan Jr. (Tenn.), Phil Gingrey (Ga.), Louie Gohmert (Tex.), Jack Kingston (Ga.), Tom McClintock (Calif.). Thomas Massie (Ky.), Bill Posey (Fla.), Matt Salmon (Ariz.), and Steve Stockman (Tex.).
Despite the vow they made in their 2010 "A Pledge to America" to post bills online for at least 72 hours before bringing them up for a vote, the House Republican leaders brought this CR up for a vote a little less than 48 hours after posting it.
