WHERE REPUBLICANS REALLY STAND ON OBAMACARE


When asked whether the House Republicans would permit or not permit funding for Obamacare in whatever legislation is enacted to fund the government after Sept. 30, when the current funding legislation runs out, House Speaker John Boehner responded that "our goal would be to make sure the government is funded," thus indicating that House Republicans do plan to fund implementation of Obamacare past Sept. 30.  (Link)

COMMENTS: 
Well, golly.  If they put a provision in legislation to not fund Obamacare in the new budget, the Senate won’t pass it and the Federal government won’t be funded; it’ll shut down October 1st.  What a relief that might be.  Here you have several top Democrats saying they are ready to drag us over the financial cliff and the Republicans don’t have the spine to stand up to them.  Of course, our only hope out of the mess we are in is to have Romney as President with a Republican–controlled House and Senate.  Does this stance give you any comfort that things would be better if Washington was totally controlled by Republicans? Of course not.  In fact, they proved under Bush when they had total control that they cannot or will not step up to the plate.  We don’t need Republicans or Democrats in Congress; we need Americans.   

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I heard some black lady saying on TV the other night that the only reason we want Obama out of office is that we don’t want blacks in the White House.  What is your response? (Denise ~ Edmonds, WA)
A. That was no lady; that was Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas.  I AM prejudiced.  I don’t want THAT black s.o.b. in office even one more day. As far as the “lady” is concerned, by her own words she has demonstrated that she is as racist as they come.  

Q. Obama pounced on the owners of automatic weapons and “assault” rifles yesterday, saying that they need to be banned from private ownership. He was quick to add that he does not intend to change America’s gun laws.  What do you make of this contradiction?  (Christy ~ Auburn, CA)  
A. Well, Obama has called for more extensive and tighter background checks on gun owners.  You know, you can prevent a guy from buying a gun if he is taking over-the-counter meds, if you want.  Such a check would not have stopped Holmes, because there was nothing in his background to create suspicion.  If you ban assault weapons, would that have stopped a guy like Holmes?  No, he had pistols and another rifle.  And, I guarantee you, if assault weapons were illegal, he could get his hands on one just a fast as you can buy cocaine on the streets.  As I have said before, once gun control gets started in any form, you are just one step from ignoring the 2nd Amendment altogether.  The real answer lies in our society, the movies we watch, the games we play and the outright and total assault by liberals and un-Americans on our religion and morals. 

Q. I heard last night that the Obama Administration is pushing for another stimulus. Won’t that kill us economically?  (Ruben ~ Las Vegas, NV)  
A. Yes, but fears are growing the economy may hit stall speed, where like a plane, it's generating too little momentum to achieve escape velocity and break free from the pull of a fresh slowdown.  Anyone who has studied the economic history of the U.S. would recognize that the real answer is to cut spending, cut taxes, cut oppressive regulations and give businesses incentive to grow and hire.  I will even go so far as to suggest that most Americans could stomach some tax increases if accompanied by significant spending cuts and business incentives.
