So the North Carolina Freshman one Mark Meadows reminded the President of

the United States that it is true he was elected nine months ago, but that he - Meadows was also elected.

Mark Meadows House seat was paid for by Art Pope.

So the threat to Obamacare doesn’t actually scare the left. To them, it feels like the demands conservatives have made on taxes in every round of the Debt Wars. Their refusal to raise taxes, even on Social Security, has effectively checkmated the administration on its entitlement plans. The shrinking deficit has made it easier for progressives to defend entitlements as they are.

Completely predictable, and yet it came out of nowhere. Last week, Utah Sen. Mike Lee unveiled a letter co-signed by 11 colleagues, pledging that they “will not support any continuing resolution or appropriations legislation that funds further implementation or enforcement of Obamacare.” North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows Xeroxed that letter in the House, and quickly made 66 foxhole buddies.

The rest of the party—and keep in mind, it’s a party wholly committed to destroying Obamacare—has reacted with a combustible mix of disgust and panic. The continuing resolution (and after that, the fight over the debt limit) was an opportunity to force the White House to deal on entitlements. “The one thing that we have achieved is that we have actually cut discretionary spending through sequestration and the Budget Control Act,” Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn pointed out. “That’s one thing we’ve done great for the country, and you’re going to put that at risk trying to achieve something that is impossible for us to achieve.”

But the Republicans demanding a repeal vote are changing the conversation. In their corner, demanding as a pH test of conservatism, are the Club for Growth, Heritage Action, FreedomWorks, and the other usual suspects. Every Republican discussed as a credible 2016 candidate (Rubio, Cruz, Paul) signed the letter. They’ve sold it to conservative media as much as they’ve sold it to anybody else.

2. This possibly will go down as the dumbest post of the day.

3. I don't agree.

I think the new person makes a VERY good point. This President has a proven record of folding like a cheap suit. Pretend it isn't so all you please, those of us based in reality with our eyes open, have said this for YEARS.

Perhaps, just perhaps, he'll finally stand up to the hostage takers this time. I'll believe it when I see it. Sorry if that doesn't sit well with you.

6. No he hasn't...

So don't even think he's responsible for this horses hit.

Nu uh did not.

Well alrighty then.

10. Tom Hill for Congress

As a native Western North Carolinian, I believe our Representative in Congress should have a plan. Mark Meadows does NOT have a plan, although he claims he has one sitting on Harry Reid's desk. I asked Mark to share his plan with me, but so far he has refused. I believe his real plan is to return to the unacceptable situation that existed prior to the ACA.
