This is based on so many false premises, but “before it’s too late” is the worst. Obamacare is awful and it will only get worse: 1) it’s not going to provide HC for countless people it claimed it would; 2) it’s going to jack up premiums for most, yet give most no subsidy to cover the difference; 3) businesses are becoming more vocal in refusing to hire/lowering hours to avoid penalties; 4) business gets an out, but unions (!!) and individuals don’t. Why not run in 2014 when the pain REALLY hits on making Barry and the Dems defend it, especially given that all God’s children know that “defund” won’t work? A GOP Senate and House will make all the difference.

If all forty-six GOP Senators stand firm in favor of defunding Barack Obama’s socialized medicine bill – as the U.S. House has done – they can move one step closer to avoiding a government shutdown.

If you keep your foot firmly placed on the gas pedal, you’ll be one step closer to making your car accelerate!

Seriously, that was absolutely painful to read. Senate Democrats will not capitulate, and neither will Obama. Obstructing continuing funding GUARANTEES a government shutdown. If Republicans were not making such a huge fucking deal out of defunding Obamacare, we wouldn’t be in jeopardy of a government shutdown in the first goddamn place. That is a fact. You can’t change the reality of the situation just because you don’t agree with it, dude.

2012 wasn’t enough of a lesson, but if this keeps up, 2014 will give quite a refresher.

The Sandlapper Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America agrees with Smirks. None of us $500,000-a-year doctors or dentists want a pay cut, and Obamacare will reduce us from super-rich to ordinary-rich. We will stop contributing to our congressmen if they help poor people get health insurance at reasonable costs. We will blow our horns, pitch a fit, and stop buying American bourbon. Instead we will buy Scotch blended whiskey.

Republicans Warn Iranian President Against Shaking Obama’s Hand

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Republican leaders warned the newly elected Iranian President Hassan Rouhani that they would frown on his shaking hands with President Obama at the United Nations today, saying that any embrace of Obama would signal that Iran was not serious about abandoning extremism.

“We welcome President Rouhani’s moderate rhetoric,” said Senator Rand Paul (R-Ken.). “But those words are rendered hollow if he is willing to shake the hand of a notorious extremist.”

“This is a man who has enslaved his people, saddling them with a health-care law not of their choosing,” said Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.). “The President of Iran should think twice before shaking hands with a man like that.”

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor sounded a warning of his own: “If the President of Iran wants to give the world the impression that he cares about human rights, he should be careful about cozying up to a despot who has continually tried to take away his people’s assault rifles.”

“We encourage Mr. Rouhani’s wish that Iran join the community of civilized nations,” added House Speaker John Boehner, “but first he must renounce Barack Obama.”

Wait- a GOP Senate filibuster, of a GOP House-passed continuing funding resolution, will put the onus of a government shutdown squarely on the president?

Is this backwards day? I don’t get it….
