Rep. Devin Nunes, a conservative Republican from California’s Central Valley, on Monday accused freshman GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of lying to House Republicans that they could dismantle the Democratic health care reform law known as Obamacare by forcing a government shutdown.

Nunes, R-Tulare, said the strategy pursued by Cruz, a Texas freshman, and to a lesser extent Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is “based on a false premise” because Republicans can’t get two-thirds votes in the House and the Senate to override President Barack Obama’s veto when he rejects any bill that ends his signature law.

Obama and the Democratic-majority Senate have refused to entertain any legislation passed by the GOP-majority House that would overhaul, change, delay or end the health care law. The partial shutdown is nearly a week old with no deal to end it in sight.

Nunes said Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has run into a wall of opposition from Cruz’s House allies to any shutdown-averting deal.

“It’s really difficult at this time until the Cruz people decide and admit to our base that their whole premise of getting rid of Obamacare by shutting down our government was a lie,” Nunes said. “This is his strategy that he’s laid out, spent money on and he’s got a lot of members of the Congress to go along with.”

Cruz’s office didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Well it is good to finally see a Republican talking honestly about what Cruz and his lackeys are doing.

Now if only the REST of the Republicans would join him, we might actually be able to save the damn country!

However before we get too excited it should be noted that Nunes is already walking back his previous statement in which he said he would support a clean funding bill if it were brought to the House floor.

I guess finding courage within the Republican is becoming harder than finding birth control in a Palin household.

As for Cruz I think Saturday Night Live hit it right on the head this last weekend.

Where is Homeland Security when you need it?

1. Democrats have already agreed to fund the government at Republican levels.

2. Despite what you might have heard, there have only been two serious government shutdowns in recent history, and both were the result of Republican ultimatums.

3. Democrats in the Senate have been begging the House to negotiate over the budget for the past six months, but Republicans have refused.

4. That's because Republicans wanted to wait until they had either a government shutdown or a debt ceiling breach as leverage, something they've been very clear about all along.

5. Republicans keep talking about compromise, but they've offered nothing in return for agreeing to their demands—except to keep the government intact if they get their way.

6. The public is very strongly opposed to using a government shutdown to stop Obamacare.

7. Contrary to Republican claims, the deficit is not increasing—it peaked in 2009 and has been dropping ever since, declining by $200 billion last year with another $450 billion drop projected this year.

8. A long government shutdown is likely to seriously hurt economic growth, with a monthlong shutdown projected to slash GDP in the fourth quarter by 1 percentage point and reduce employment by over a million jobs.

9. No, Democrats have not used debt ceiling hostage taking in the past to force presidents to accept their political agenda.

10. This whole dispute is about the Republican Party fighting to make sure the working poor don't have access to affordable health care.

You know I have to wonder is there ANYBODY left who does not realize what the Republican party is trying to do? Or who are ignorant enough to blame what is happening on the President and Democratic party?

I mean at this point even Fox News is having a hard time covering for these duplicitous assholes.

I think I agree with a commenter from the other day. The GOP is no longer engaging in politics, they are essentially traitors to their own country and should be treated as such.

I ma not one to call for a civil war, but I am afraid that we may already be in the middle of one.

Blaze Radio: Obama Classmate Wayne Allyn Root Explains Obama's Destruction Of America;

Wayne Allyn Root appeared on the Chris Salcedo Show on the Blaze Radio Network and briefly touched on Root's latest article at Glenn Beck's The Blaze titled; OBAMA IS 100% RED, WHITE & BLUE AMERICAN BORN

Much more was discussed. Love how BRN host Chris Salcedo titles Obama when he references him...


Excerpt via Wayne Allyn Root @ The Blaze:

Many Americans suspect Obama was foreign born. They are wrong. Boy do I have a story to tell you.

I believe Obama is a fraud. But it has nothing to do with his birth. Obama’s critics have it all backwards. They are looking in the wrong place. He isn't a foreigner portraying himself as an American. He’s an American who fraudulently portrayed himself as a foreigner.

Months ago MSNBC television host Rachel Maddow spent 15 minutes on her national show calling me a "birther." I scratched my head. Because I’m not. Never have been, not for one minute. A “birther” believes Obama is a foreigner, not legally qualified to be president. I have never believed that.

I've always believed that Obama is 100 percent American. There I've said it loudly. I’m a leading critic of the President, but I've always believed him to be American born. He is as American as P.T. Barnum. And he lies and exaggerates like P.T. Barnum too. While Obama is not a foreigner, he is a fraud. Let me tell you the REAL Obama story.

In hundreds of media interviews, I’ve stated that even though Obama was my college classmate at Columbia University, Class of 1983, and we shared the same majors (Political Science and Pre-Law), I never saw, met, or heard of him. But the media has this story wrong too – I’ve never said that my conclusion is Obama did not go to Columbia. On the contrary, I believe Obama graduated Columbia and we are classmates.

Where was he hiding for those Columbia years? My educated guess is he was smoking pot and attending communist meetings, plotting the downfall of America and capitalism. Don’t laugh, it worked!

While that was just an educated guess, Obama’s own autobiography backs me up – he personally admitted often attending Socialist Party meetings at Cooper Union in downtown Manhattan. With Obama, even your wildest guesses are often proven true.

But forget why he wasn't seen at Columbia, the real mystery is how he ever got into Columbia. Stay with me – because this ties into the whole “foreign born” story.

I've believe I've pieced together what happened at Columbia and here it is. I believe that Obama, an American citizen, committed fraud by portraying himself as a foreigner, in order to gain almost impossible admittance to prestigious Columbia University (and probably Occidental and Harvard Law School as well). He lied and used fraud (misrepresentation) to weasel his way in. Is that really a crime? Ask convicted criminal Frank Abagnale, the real-life star of the hit movie and best-selling book, “Catch Me if You Can.” Portraying someone you’re not is called fraud, and punishable by years in prison. [...]

No, I’m not a birther. I believe Obama is 100 percent American born. While never questioning his birth, I've been in the media nonstop for five years questioning his allegiance to America, American exceptionalism, and Judeo-Christian values. And I've exposed his plan (created by husband-wife professors Cloward and Piven at Columbia) to destroy capitalism by overwhelming the system with spending, debt, and entitlements. That purposeful plan is proven by facts – please see record spending, record debt, and record entitlements under Obama. This is all about a plan to destroy America carried out by an American posing as a foreigner.

No, Obama isn't a foreigner. But we have a fraud in the White House.[...] Continued at The Blaze. Hat tip Guest.

(Oct. 6, 2013) — The Facebook page for Obamacare has some new comments on Sunday morning.

Screen shot from Healthcare.gov Facebook page

While many comments reflect people’s objection to the health care law, whose “individual mandate” portion launched officially last Tuesday, The Post & Email strove to post factual information without opinion to inform government bureaucrats and members of the public that the law may be invalid simply because Obama himself may not be a legal office holder.

On September 20, the House of Representatives attempted to defund Obamacare, which has caused numerous large and small employers to lay off employees, reduce their hours, or eliminate coverage for spouses and families as a result of the cost given the new “law.”

The following Friday, the Senate rejected the measure and stripped it from its version of an appropriations bill. The House and Senate could not agree on a final bill, and a partial government shutdown of approximately 17% of federal departments commenced at midnight on September 30.

However, the launch of Obama’s health care law which he signed on March 23, 2010 occurred on schedule, also on Tuesday, October 1, although thousands of people have reported an inability to buy insurance either because of technical problems with the federal or state websites or what they see as exorbitant costs. Some areas reported no enrollees at all last week.

Over the weekend, the Healthcare.gov website was “down for repairs.”

The health care bill is colloquially called the “Affordable Care Act,” although in the spirit of “compromise” and common ground, a contributing writer to The Post & Email coined a new proposed name.

On Sunday, The Post & Email left the following new comments:


Since the shutdown, Speaker of the House John Boehner has sent several funding bills to the Senate, but Majority Leader Harry Reid has said they are “dead on arrival.“ Obama has also said he refuses to negotiate on any bills which alter or defund his “signature” health care bill as well as individual appropriations bills which the House has proposed since October 1.

While refusing to consider compromise, Obama scolded Republicans for their “attitude.”

A criminal investigation conducted by the Maricopa County, AZ Cold Case Posse has shown that Obama’s long-form birth certificate and Selective Service registration form are forgeries. For the last six months or more, the posse has been working to engage Congress in launching its own investigation into the fraudulent documents, with Rep. Steve Stockman reportedly promoting the effort.

A former and current presidential candidate told The Post & Email that a highly-placed government source has confirmed that Congress is looking at Obama’s eligibility, which could be affected by his presentation of fraudulent documentation.

The White House has not explained why it first said that the only birth certificate Obama possessed was a “short-form” which does not contain details such as birth hospital, attending physician, address of parents and “Date accepted by Registrar.”

Directly after the long-form was posted on April 27, 2011, it was declared a forgery by many experts and analysts. On March 1, 2012, the Cold Case Posse held the first of two formal press conferences declaring its findings of forgery.

Obama has never released school, college or medical records to the public and has given several versions of his life story to the public.

The Post & Email asks why, in the midst of a government shutdown which the Obama regime is admittedly exploiting to inflict the maximum “pain” on Americans, Boehner does not simply call for a vote on an investigation into the forgeries which could remove Obama from office immediately, once proven and made public. We have asked before why the Republicans and others continue to battle with Obama’s policies when it is his legitimacy that is the real issue.

Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo has stated that Boehner has been an obstruction to a congressional investigation into the forgeries.

Using false identification is a federal offense. In regard to candidates for federal office and the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), Title 26 of the U.S. Code, Chapter 96, Section 9012 states:

(d) False statements, etc.

(1) It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly and willfully—

(A) to furnish any false, fictitious, or fraudulent evidence, books, or information to the Commission under this subtitle, or to include in any evidence, books, or information so furnished any misrepresentation of a material fact, or to falsify or conceal any evidence, books, or information relevant to a certification by the Commission or an examination and audit by the Commission under this chapter; or…

At least one constitutional attorney believes that if Obama is himself illegitimate, everything he has signed and ordered would become null and void.
