Senate Defeats House GOP's Delay Obamacare Bill

The Senate rejected House Republicans' amendments to a government funding bill in a vote of 54 to 46 on Monday.

The Senate's vote to strip the provisions that would have delayed the Obama administration's healthcare reform law for one year and repealed the medical device tax means the House is once again in the spotlight on passing a bill that funds the government.

A simple majority was needed to defeat the bill.

1. There should have been a super-majority. That's the depressing bit.

Still, what are you gonna do? Keep moving forward.

2. that's not how politics works. the important thing is they tabled those stupid amendments

in about 30 minutes right after convening.

3. Every Senate Republican voted to keep the House lunatic's provision

That didn't stop at least one of them from pretending to be sane.

4. Repukes need to become an extinct party.

I hope they lose the House and many seats in the Senate. People are waking up to the fact that it is the GOP and ONLY the GOP trying to shutdown the government, I've already heard a huge rumble locally (from people that voted R) about not getting their government paychecks in the mail. And this time they know exactly who is at fault. Foxnews cannot even hide this one.

Say goodbye to politics, GOP for a lonnnng time. You just lost your voting base.

5. Jeeze! Thank Goodness we have that! All the Republicons in the

Senate wanted to shut the government down because they couldn't stand the thought of Obamacare sweeping the Nation Tomorrow!

Poor scared wabbits.
