I think I can relax a bit, for it seems many events are moving productively; will provide explanations in human

bites [ref. Gemini] with, first, an overview of what may probably be occurring next week. Although a dozen pages of hyperlinks have been accumulated, it is anticipated that they can be grouped and then only key-citations will necessarily be disseminated. We are rapidly learning whom to trust. The two legs of my strategy-suggestions [which have been repeated in the blasts since early-August] have been heard nationally, so its possible to sketch-out the GOP-Approachas per recent interviews of both Cruz/Lee. Pivotal is flexibility, noting uncertainty regarding how Reid will present the legislation, but the key-concept is that the two major potential-arguments against the GOP will be obviated, to wit: HR 2009 [Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013] was passed by the House and could be appended to the CR covering the Treasury Department; HR 2300 [Empowering Patients First] could be appended to the CR covering the Health and Human Services Department; the remaining eight departments could then be amalgamated into one CR and passed [thereby envisioned to be passed by the Senate and signed by the POTUS]. In this fashion, the GOP would not be portrayed as the Party of NO! because it would have adopted [and funded] its alternative-plan, and the GOP would not be portrayed as having shut down government because it would have upheld its duties [per the Constitution, Article I, Section 7] to originate government-funding bills. The IRS-funding [via Treasury] and the ObamaCare-alternate [via HHS] will be linked to CRs, and the rest of government funding will be submitted clean to the Senate if it doesnt sign-off on the original; thus, the GOP will have provided a revenue-neutral alternative to ObamaCare and will not have caused a shut-down. It is noted that the latest MSNBC-narrative is that a split remains within the GOP, claiming They dont have a plan. Amazingly [perhaps not so surprisingly], they incompletely cite polling data; rather than stating the vast majority of Americans still hate ObamaCare, they segue to the claim that most Americans dont want a shut-down [thereby shrouding the viewer from the complete truth]. Heres a sampling of where Americans stand on ObamaCare: 1. 68 percent are concerned about the impact on their personal health care under ObamaCare (Fox News poll, September 17) 2. 57 percent oppose ObamaCare (CNN/ORC International survey, September 11) 3. 52 percent believe ObamaCare will result in their health care costs increasing (NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, September 15) 4. 51 percent want Congress to cut funding for ObamaCare (Rasmussen Reports, September 17) It has been claimed that the presidency-is on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown, noting 5-key-reasonswhy-barack-obamas-future-looks-increasingly-bleak: 1. A new Gallup poll suggests the November mid-terms could result in the biggest victory (13%) for Republicans in the House since 1894 2. The Senate now hangs in the balance, per Rasmussen and RealClearPolitics. 3. The economic figures are grim, per the US-Govt. and Investors Business Daily. 4. A quarter of Democrats have turned against the president 5. George W. Bush is now as popular as President Obama

It has also been noted by Investors Business Daily that the media are telling 40 little-lies-aboutObamaCare and that there is a strong resemblance between BHO and lenin, who-used-these sixprinciples-of-propaganda-to-consolidate-control: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

During an interview with the daily caller, Ted Cruz has answered these four questions: 1. What precisely is your strategy to defund ObamaCare and whats your best argument for employing this method? 2. Explain specifically how your strategy actually has a realistic chance of being successful? 3. Your opponents argue your strategy wont work because Republicans, without control of the White House or the Senate, do not have the votes. They say its simply dishonest to lead conservatives across the country to think it would. Opponents also say that Republicans will take the blame for any shutdown, thus harming your midterm chances. Your response? 4. How are those who disagree with you on the strategy distorting your views on this? {Because this is so vital, note that the following constitutes his complete answer.} Cruz: Aside from the defeatist view that this cant be won, addressed above, there are three significant misunderstandings: A) Some, even among our allies, describe our proposal as shutting down the government to defund ObamaCare. Such framing clearly tilts towards the Democrats. Our perspective is, we would pass a bill to fund the entire government except ObamaCare; it is the President and his allies who have threatened to shut down the government to force ObamaCare onto working families, even though its problems are manifest. B) Another recurring line is that a recent Congressional Research Service report confirmed that a government shutdown would not, in itself, fully defund ObamaCare. Of course not; no one has ever suggested it would. The point is, passing a CR that defunds ObamaCare that explicitly prohibits discretionary and mandatory spending defunds ObamaCare. Thats what this fight is all about. C) Some have suggested this initiative would only defund ObamaCares discretionary spending, while leaving in place the far larger mandatory spending. This is incorrect, as we can absolutely include language in the CR to defund ObamaCares mandatory spending as well.
