Just can't be because what they want is stupid or wrong.

But what can one expect from partisanship such as you display.

You seem to ignore (purposely) that there are two sides who refuse to compromise.

But that's alright, continue with your blind partisan statements.
You seem to purposely ignore your OWN blind partisan statements. But that's ok. We recognize them.

Didn't the Obots say Obamacare would save the government money?

Why does it need extra funding?

That's how.
Which is exactly what is true about your party of choice. You just refuse to see it.

Just following the lead of a dem such as you.

We also recognize your partisanship in you statements but seem unable to recognize it in yourself.

A creative way of saying, "I know you are but what am I." It doesn't add much to the conversation though.

I love how you couldn't decide which of the two vacuous replies you wanted to use, and so you posted both.

Democrats funded the bill as revenue neutral as senate rules require. They were also give tax increases on the rich since. If they can't make the bill work as passed then that is their fault. We have had other CRs in past ;so not getting a budget passed since he has been president is Obama's failure. He couldn't even get one passed when democrats controlled both houses.

Some Republicans are talking about passing a Continuing Resolution to keep the government going, that does not provide funding for all the new functions and enforcement of Obamacare. Democrats have said they won't even consider such a thing.

Will the Democrats really shut down the Federal government over this issue?

Boehner: 'No decisions' made on whether House will defund Obamacare

Boehner: 'No decisions' made on whether House will defund Obamacare

by Chris Moody, Yahoo! News

There is a movement brewing among conservative Republicans to insist that the federal health care law known as Obamacare be defunded as part of an agreement to keep the government running. But House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday was noncommittal when asked if the House would pursue a bill that strips funding for the law.

"No decisions have been made on how we're going to proceed,” Boehner said at his weekly press briefing when asked if the House version of a continuing resolution to fund the government, which Congress must pass within the next two months to avoid a government shutdown, would include Obamacare funding.

Yup.

They also said it would contain no tax increases. That was the reason many legislators gave it their votes - it would not have been passed if it increased taxes.

Until it arrived at the Supreme Court, which said that penalties for not signing up were unconstitutional, but tax increases weren't.

Whereupon those same Obots swore up and down that the penalty wasn't a penalty, it was a new tax. And so the Supremes rewrite it from the bench to change the word "penalty" to "tax" wherever it occurred, and then declared it Constitutional.

So the law that was passed only because it had no new taxes, was found constitutional only because it had new taxes.

Orwell was right - Doublethink is the only way these people can survive.
