The Tea Party has decided to shut down the government to force the Democrats to agree to kill ObamaCare or put if off for a year.
They refuse to allow the rest of the government to be funded until their demands are met.
They won't let Boehner bring a clean budget resolution to the House for a vote.
...even while the Senate has voted several times on the House' budget and said "NO".
The Tea Party is clearly legislative terrorists, holding our nation's funding hostage because they hate ObamaCare more than they love America.
They need to either let Boehner bring a clean bill for a vote, or sit down and shut up.
The ACA is simply a law, and like any other law, it can be repealed or amended by Congress at any time. It's a law that the majority of the American people don't want, never wanted, and was passed by a partisan Congress using dubious tactics. But wait, because, once young healthy adults discover that they are either liable for a hefty tax if they do buy insurance, or a penalty if they don't (which means no tax returns for many) they will flee the Democratic Party like rats from a sinking ship.ObamaCare is already the law of the land.

For now, enjoy your time in the sun because your Party is headed for an iceberg and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

You're counting on young people being stupid and selfish.
Exactly what's happening to the Republican party. They've managed to alienate blacks, hispanics, gays and now they're working on women and, just for giggles, Muslims.
The biggest problem the Republican Party has is that they're alienating Conservatives, which has been going on for a very long time. The Republicans lost the 2012 election not because of what you cited above, but because of what I just cited. Anybody who speculates otherwise doesn't have a clue what they're talking about...

Two can play this game.
The democrat party has decided to shut down the government to force the republicans to agree to ObamaCare.
They refuse to allow the rest of the government to be funded until their demands are met.
They won't vote for a budget resolution funding everything else but Obamacare.
...even while the house has voted several times on the House' budget and said "YES".

Democrats are not forcing the Republicans to do anything. The AHC act is law, duly passed and will take effect until it is repealed by votes in the House and Senate and signed by the President. It is as simple as that. Don't like it? Move out of the country and good riddance. We are not going to give up 250 years of democracy for any extortion or blackmail for a tiny minority. We are better than that.
they are trying to force Republicans to fund ACA.
why don't you know this?
if you really believed in your " love it or leave it" bull****.. you'd have moved long ago.
Shows how much you know. The ACA is already funded by the law, that's why there is nothing they can do. Obamacare is FULLY funded even in the shutdown.
The Republicans are trying to force Obama to change the law and defund it. It's plain ordinary blackmail and it won't work a bit. We are better as a country than that.
The debt ceiling is law. What is the point of a debt ceiling if you are going to raise it every time you reach it. Instead they need to stay under it by curtailing spending.Democrats are not forcing the Republicans to do anything.

it's fully funded huh?.. ok, show me the appropriations bill, budget, or CR that funds it.
the GOP is actually asking for a year delay..... something Obama had no problem giving to his business buddies but refuses to give the people.
it's not blackmail ( or any other evil thing you can concoct in your head).. blackmail is illegal.... everyone in congress is acting fully within the law and fully within their duties.
The debt ceiling will/must be raised no matter what. The full faith and credit of the US is at stake. That's why there will be no negotiations about it.
You don't take hostages you can't shoot.
Asking? Blackmailing or extorting would be a more accurate term. Laws can be repealed by votes in both Houses period, end of story.
Then that makes having a debt ceiling pointless and they should just get rid of it completely.
fyi It's there so congress can control the spending but it's not working if they keep raising it.
