Jim DeMinted on FNS: "Let's hold the Government hostage to Kill Obamacare"

The former R from SC and Heritage Foundation head on FNS panel this morning says let's threaten to shut down the entire government to force the defunding of Obamacare. Even Bill Kristol looks at him askew and when pressed by Chris Wallace, says in an insane twist of logic, that they should offer a package that funds the government but not Obamacare, so if he does not sign it, Obama would then be blamed for shutting down the government. Nice try boys.

What a gang of dishonest crazy thief's the GOP have become...

and they don't seem to be changing their MO anytime soon. It's just too bad that more people don't notice it and just throw up their hands and blame "both parties" instead. *sigh* I mean, in a democratic country like ours, such shenanigans by a major political party simply shouldn't be tolerated.
