Principles. civil rights wasnt the right thing to do for this country, it wasnt passing a poll bill, yet it was the right thing to do. republicans believe obama is horrible. its about one thing, obstruct obama. >> nancy pelosi or other republicans would have voted against pelosicare or kerrycare. its not personal to obama. >> one of the reasons the senate has not acted in any way to fund government is because right now there is no democratic vote for a clean cr. >> you cant keep saying cr. >> a ...

Compromising, republicans overwhelmingly seen not as compromising, the president seen as much more conciliatory. thats what the polls have been showing for a while on that sense. the other piece is that republicans are showing out on a much lower level on approval ratings. its much better than where republicans sit right now. the one thing i want to bring up is the fact that the republicans right now, its pretty clear, theres no strategy or end game to where this goes. obviously your talk with t...

Political battle is exerting le leverage on the other side. you get them to do what you want them to do. the problem with defunding obamacare so far is theyre holding government shutdown as their leverage. given that could hurt them if that actually happens, theyre saying, give us what we want or were going to shoot ourselves in the foot. coming forward, if senator reid ends up sending back a clean cr to the house, the question for republicans is, are there not in fact better means of exerting p...

Given that could hurt them if that actually happens, theyre saying, give us what we want or were going to shoot ourselves in the foot. coming forward, if senator reid ends up sending back a clean cr to the house, the question for republicans is, are there not in fact better means of exerting pressure on democrats and forcing them, testing the outer boundaries of their support for the law? there are ways you can do that. you can look at delaying the original mandate, something that dozens of hous...

Corker basically tweeted last week that he didnt go to harvard and princeton like ted cruz but he knows how to count. they dont have enough votes to mount a filibuster. and republicans are divided among themselves. and actually, a lot of conservative voices are speaking out against a shutdown. and yet they seem to be hurtling toward this conclusion anyway. im assuming the senate is going to have a fairly easy job to strip out the obama care section and send the legislation back to the house, and...

End of the year deadline. give me all the other ones besides obama care. congress has ever tried to kill using the continuing resolution. list them for me. >> yeah. i mean -- >> no. listen to me. what time in history in this country has the congress tried to kill a bill thats been signed passed by the congress in both houses, 60 votes in the senate, 218 in the house, legally signed into law by the president, then killed by continuing resolution. you act like this is a normal thing, to hold hosta...

Debacle back in 2011. house speaker john boehner, republicans said they want any increase in the debt limit offset with an equal amount of cuts. theyre also proposing a possible extension of president obamas health care law. of course, thats not something that the president is going to sign off on. so that is one legislative fight thats happening right now. the debt limit by the way, the nation will reach the debt limit in mid-october. the more imminent fiscal battle is the continuing resolution...

The house floor as democrats pleaded with republicans to abandon their kamikaze mission to dee fund the affordable care act. >> what is brought to the floor today is without a doubt, without a doubt a measure designed to shut down government. it could have no other intent. its purpose is clear. >> it is a blatant act of hostage taking. the republican c.r. also lays the groundwork for default on our debt, an unthinkable act. >> hours later, president obama himself delivered a fiery campai campaig...
