Sen. Ted Cruz’s push to withhold ‘Obamacare’ funds ends in defeat

We are now one more step closer to having ObamaCare crammed down our throats in spite of all the public outrage over it. But of course "they" really do know what is best for us, don't they? [/sarcasm]

ObamaCare is the biggest money and power grab perpetrated on the American public by the crooks in Washington since the creation of the Federal reserve banking system.

SenateDemocrats on Wednesday defeated the latest Republican effort to repeal President Obama's health-care law, signaling that the 2012 elections did little to change the bitter political divisions over the 3-year-old policy.

The vote came as both House and Senate take up their budgets for the coming fiscal year and also debate this year’s spending bills, each of which will have to decide whether to continue funding the health law.

Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, brought an amendment to the Senate floor Wednesday that would have stopped all funding until economic growth improves, which would effectively shut down the program.

“If we were to fully fund and implement Obamacare now, it could very well push us into a full recession,” Mr. Cruz said in a news conference before the session.

He admitted he didn’t have much hope of pushing it through the Democrat-controlled chamber, and was proved correct when the chamber voted 52-45 along party lines to defeat his amendment.

No surprise there. I've pretty much resigned myself to the inevitability of being forced to buy health care. It is one of the most depressing things I can think of and reading it typed out now as I write this is making me depressed. Though I think I have figured out a system that should help me get by for a while since its the government and all and will be pretty much guaranteed to be ran by completely braindead bureaucrats. However I do not want to repeat what it is online.

Its business as usual in D C. They say one thing to get elected then do the exact opposite after they fool us into voting for them.

Hey, remember that awesome CPAC speech by Mitch McConnell?

The one where Mitch McConnell said — and I quote — “Obamacare should be repealed root and branch. And we’re not backing down from this fight.”

And the same speech where Mitch McConnell also said, “This law is a disaster, and anybody who thinks we’ve moved beyond it is dead wrong.”

Well, as I told you, Mitch McConnell excels at saying one thing and doing another. Yesterday, Mitch McConnell voted to fund Obamacare.

Hey Utah, he joined Orrin Hatch in doing so. Remember, just last year on the campaign trail Orrin Hatch told you all how he was going to absolutely fight to rid us of Obamacare at all costs. And he got a large portion of the conservative movement to cheer him on as a result.

Yeah, that Orrin Hatch voted to fund Obamacare too.
