Leave it to Boehner, McConnell and the RINO consultant class to turn on Cruz & Lee's effort to defund Obamacare. Treachery in just a weekend. Only a feckless GOP can pull that off...
And McConnell has fallen right in suit...RedState: Don’t be fooled by this political theater going on in Washington, DC. The fix is in and both sides are trying to fund ObamaCare while saving face.
The whole of House Republican Leadership thinks you are stupid. They have passed a bill that they know will be changed by Harry Reid before it goes back to the House in a few days. The smoking gun will happen when Boehner allows a Senate passed government funding measure to come up in the House minus the provision defunding ObamaCare. You wait and see.
Also, know that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is in on this too. He is going to stand with Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) to save his Senate seat, but he knows that he has the power to stop this scheme.
WashingtonExaminer: Minutes ago, Sen. Mitch McConnell's spokesman Don Stewart sent a statement saying the Senate Minority Leader will not join an effort led by Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to filibuster a House-passed continuing resolution that also defunds Obamacare.Now back to that RedState piece...
McConnell's decision is another major blow to the Cruz-Lee strategy. Earlier Monday, Sen. John Cornyn, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, said that he, too, would not support the filibuster scheme.
Levin joined Cavuto today to talk about the battle against Obamacare and the battle against the 'French Republicans' who have no visible strategy to fight Obamacare (or really any of Obama's Big Government policies). He makes the case for why we must fight and counter Republicans' efforts to kneecap Cruz and Lee.Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) have been fighting to defund ObamaCare. They have a plan. Fight Reid’s motion to strike the provision to defund ObamaCare and force 60 Senators to shut down debate on that proposition. Republicans win that fight then Reid has a take it or leave it proposition with the House Continuing Resolution that defunds ObamaCare.
The problem is that Cruz and Lee are being sabotaged by his own leadership. The House and Senate Republican leadership are to fearful of being blamed for a government shut down to fight this issue. They are running the white flag of surrender up the flag pole before a shot has even been fired.
Squishy House Republicans and House Leadership want to embarrass Cruz and Lee when they fail to get the defunding of ObamaCare across the finish line. Boehner set our guys up for failure — that is a fact.
