HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MODERN DAY SNAKE OIL SALESMEN...

MIKE LEE, TELLIN IT LIKE IT IS

In a recent interview on the nationally syndicated Mark Levin Show, one of my favorites by the way, we heard Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) as he slammed the Republican-led initiative to simultaneously propose legislation that would both fund and defund Obamacare. Lee rhetorically asked Levin, "With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?" And therein lies the reason so many are becoming, or have become, disenchanted with the Republican Party.

Lee explained how this scheme is supposed to work. It goes something like this: Our stellar Republican leadership in the House of Representatives intends to put forward two different legislative proposals in one single vote. One would defund Obamacare. And here’s where the scam comes into play. The other proposal would be a continuing resolution that would fund everything in government, and that would include all aspects of Obamacare.

I'm guessing that the entire purpose behind this idiotic little charade is that the House Republicans, at least our spineless leadership, think that by voting to both fund and to defund Barry's signature health law simultaneously, they can somehow fool those of who want this law repealed into believing they are actually working toward that end. But it's become more obvious all the time that nothing could be further from the truth.

Because as Lee makes very clear, this proposal would then be sent over to the Senate, the DEMOCRAT controlled Senate, which would then simply "pull apart the two pieces of legislation," and end up passing only the spending resolution that funds Obamacare. Come on, is this sophomoric kind of politics the best that we can now expect to see from our supposed leaders in Congress? It's getting to the point where it's embarrassing.

Lee said, "It allows for Republicans or anyone else who claims to be against Obamacare to be able to say they voted against funding Obamacare." He went on to say, "And yet, still at the same time, allow them also to fund everything in government including Obamacare." Adding, "It is the classic Washington two-step." I think I would describe it a little differently. And does Boehner and Cantor really think we're stupid enough to fall for it?

Lee called the initiative "disgraceful" and implored everyone in the House who purports to be against Obamacare to stand up to the leadership to prevent this proposal from hitting the floor. "This is the Washington political establishment versus everyone else in America and this represents the worst of Washington politics," Lee said. At this point I would argue that we no longer have any real leadership in the House. All we seem to have, are posers.
