The House defunds ACA and sends it to the Senate and then....?

[kentuck]

The Senate passes it with the ACA funded and it goes back to the House.

Then the Repub propagandists go to work. They will blame it on Harry Reid. Harry Reid will blame it on John Boehner and the Tea Party extremists in the House.

So you have a stalemate. Then the Repubs agree to fund the rest of the government without Obamacare and then blame Harry Reid for not funding the "rest" of the government.

Or...

When it goes back to the Senate the second time, they could get enough Democratic votes to get an agreement and the bill would go to the President for his signature. He would then veto it and send it back to the House to be fixed.

That is a possibility.

1. Let the terrorists shut down the government.

And watch for massive losses in 2014. And beyond. Republican Party will exist no more except to be designated as a terrorist and a hate organization.

2. They are maneuvering to blame it on Harry Reid and the Democrats.

By saying they are willing to fund the rest of government but the Democrats are blocking it... That will be their argument.

3. We know they're lying. They have been confirmed liars since 1977. It's way past time for them to

end their terroristic behavior and send them to Gitmo if they won't heed on the people's wishes (I know the terrorists ignore their own constituents and go on ME ONLY mode - not giving one single shit about their own constituents) they they are failing to do their Constitutional duty.

4. Their plan:

is to get Harry Reid and the Democrats to oppose the bill and send it back to the House.... Then they would go into propaganda mode... They don't want the Senate to pass it and send it to the President because he would veto it and the House would have to start all over. The ball would be back in their court.

5. I could see it.

If they can get Democrats in the Senate to compromise, but the resulting bill is vetoed, they then try to blame Obama for any resulting shutdown. They are already working that angle. If they really are prepared to embrace a shutdown, everything becomes a matter of which party will take the blame, for Republicans. Ugly situation. Makes me snarly.

6. Repubs hate Harry Reid...

They would prefer that the Senate not pass it, in my opinion. Because then it would be a "he said, she said" type of stalemate. However, if a few Democrats agree to pass it and send it to the President and he vetoes it, then it goes back to the House and the ball is in their court. That would be the most favorable outcome, in my opinion. The House would then be the responsible Party for fixing it.
