These Republicans in disarray articles never get old. Here’s the best part of this one:
Many GOP lawmakers share that frustration privately and several have gone so far as to call their party “leaderless.”
“Here we are complaining about a president who can’t lead [on Syria], who leads us into this morass and we’re doing the same things to ourselves on ObamaCare, on the debt ceiling,” one conservative complained.
House leaders hatched a complicated plan that would have required the Senate to vote on defunding ObamaCare, but the bill was immediately shot down by Tea Party members and conservative groups. Lacking the votes, a vote on the legislation was canceled last week.
Now, rank-and-file Republican members are worried on how the House GOP will avoid government shutdown at the start of October. They say that a shutdown could provide an opening for Democrats to win back the House majority.
Still, conservatives, including Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) who believe they were elected to upend ObamaCare, say they have to take advantage of this moment.
“We have the opportunity of a lifetime. We have public sentiment, we have the facts and figures on our side and we have the leverage with the debt ceiling. Let’s put it all together and make it happen … the one person who’s done more to delay implementation of ObamaCare is Obama,” Ross said.
Priceless stuff.
“We have public sentiment…”
Really?
Uhm…
Dud (sic), no, you don’t.
Step outside of your echo-chamber, and breath the air and listen to the people who aren’t part of you insular little jircle-cerk.
Now, having said that, if you feckin’ eedjit’s had come up with, and sold, and alternate plan, you might have a point.
But as it is, the only point that you might have, is on your empty feckin’ head.
May the Rep side of the aisle be infested with crabs.
May their doctors all be booked so they have to go to the emergency room
May their local pharmacy be out of stock
May they be banned from public places for their incessant scratching of their privates
Umm, public on their side? Last time I checked, the President had been respected. Where exactly is that antiObamacare sentiment?
That should be reelected, not respected. Tracking iphone.
Fracking not tracking. Grrrrrrrrr.
I hate autocorrect sometimes.
Republicans in disarray is nice; a default and/or government shutdown as a result of said disarray is not nice.

He’s from Florida. Well does the port remain open when he votes to shut it down? All those cruise, cargo, and tankers….what will they do?
Hahahahahahaha
I think I may have passed out a little
Repubs don’t need to be organized, or have discipline, or have a plan on literally anything. They have gamed and rigged the US electoral machinery so thoroughly that all they need do is exist and they keep their majority. As simpleton nihilist gub’mint haters, all they need do is frustrate attempts at governance, that’s all their braindead base requires at this point.
Could there be a risk of Boner’s Boneheads losing the House? Based on their behavior, they basically don’t think so. Shutting down the gub’mint simply “could provide an opening” to lose the House, they think. They are usually delusional, however, so one can’t really trust their analysis.
One supposes that an (unprecedented) refusal to extend the debt ceiling and the resulting prioritization of payments by the Prez could cause some serious failure in our Holy Financial Markets, which could cause heartburn for well-off white people, a large part of the Repub base. But this assumes Obama would actually allow the dangerous results of “conservative” crapola ideology to come to fruition and force idiot Americans to see what it actually means to have given power to the lunatic “conservative” movement.
This is about what it would take to have a chance of Boner’s Boneheads losing the House. Simply shutting down the gub’mint for some period has been done before; it didn’t cause the last incompetent Repub speaker’s House to fall, nor did impeaching the prez over a blowjob. And America was likely a less braindead political culture in the 90s. Nor was the House totally gamed and rigged then as it is now.
Of course, things look pretty bad for Dems “holding” the senate, whatever it means to be “in control” of that utterly paralyzed body.
Finally, I don’t think there is a single member of Boner’s Boneheads who has the faintest understanding of how Obamacare is to work and what is essential and non-essential in it. They seem unable to understand that the essential components are non-discrimination of insureds (which they claim to like), mandated purchase (which they want to repeal) and subsidies (ditto). One element can’t work without the others. These are not deferable and Obama hasn’t deferred them.
Of course no member of the useless corporate media can be bothered to learn any of this either, nor is any Repub ever questioned on their ignorance. All in all, quite a system!
Please proceed, House Republicans.
