From Doug Ross: Establishment Republicans balking at blocking funding ObamaCare; the GOP "Buck Rogers" moment

Congress has more power than people realize. For intance, during the Vietnam War, it could have ended American involvement in it--by pulling the funding. The Democrats became the anti-war party during that time--they controlled both houses of Congress during that conflict.

The newspaperman in The Right Stuff movie said it best about aeronautics: "No bucks, no Buck Rogers."

But that truth goes beyond defense and airplanes.

The House GOP is having its Buck Rogers moment now. Doug Ross details it in his post, Establishment GOP: yes, we'll fund Obamacare with our Continuing Resolution and, as an aside, do we get to call it BoehnerCare now?

Michele Bachman (R-MN) has been vocal in her opposition to the latest continuing resolution to fund the government by her call to block a $105 billion permanent ObamaCare funding mechanism; she is supported by Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and Rep. Tim Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS).

They know about "bucks" and Buck Rogers.

I swear, the repub establishment is trying to get a third party started, they love being in second place and kissing demo butt.We have to take the repub party over, it's still way easier than building a third party. Not to mention, all it takes to completely destroy the nation is one more Kagan, Sotamyer or Ginsburg.
