Wall Street to GOP: Are you nuts?

Article PhotoSenior Republicans believe they will be on stronger political ground if they allow a relatively clean bill funding the government to reach the president’s desk and instead use the debt-hike battle to gut Obamacare.
That’s a very dubious assumption.
Political analysts and market experts say this strategy could wind up doing lasting damage to both the United States economy and the GOP’s national political standing.
 i really hope those who oppose and the fence perchers see that this is not as advertised it's about you being and staying under the thumb of the ins. co.'s and support what supports them.  they don't seem to think elephant dung stinks, but they will find out.

The fundamental flaw: There is no scenario under which the GOP is going to achieve its main stated goal, delaying the Affordable Care Act, through a debt limit showdown. The White House and Senate Democrats would never agree to such a demand.
And senior administration officials say privately that their public refusal to negotiate over the debt limit is not simply a political ploy they will inevitably have to cast aside. Perhaps aware of the risks, House GOP leadership is now considering postponing a vote on a debt limit that includes an Obamacare delay to see what they can get out of a continuing resolution that funds the government
they refer to this as their having leverage against your getting health care doesn't that sound like they want to obstruct you more initiatives that came from the Pres. like jobs act.

now they want to kick the can down the road again because they don't have winning vote numbers so they want to now see what they can extort out of the continuing resolution, it's never about compromise it's about "what dirty trick can we pull to get our way", they are not in that job to serve "we the people" disloyal employees should be terminated.as of Nov.. 4th 2014
