Reading or logic fail on your part. To say that the House has an obligation to pass bills that could pass the Senate and the President is not to the Senate doesn't have a similar responsibility to the House and the President.

So you are saying there should be compromise? No No... majority rules!

REPUBLICANS ARE DOING THIS AS A METHOD OF DEFUNDING A DEMOCRATICALLY ENACTED LAW.

Your little theory isn't even that. It doesn't make a bloody lick of sense. You can't defund obamacare by funding everything else and not funding that. I don't care what Cruz says. You simply 100% cannot. The ACA is funded with mandatory funds, much like SS and Medicare. You actually have to pass a new bill that would take away its funding. TYPING IN ALL CAPS ONLY MAKES YOU LOOK SILLY.

THE PRECEDENT THIS WOULD SET IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WOULD DESTROY THE FUNCTION OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNANCE.

Again, you seem to have the majority rules over the minority form of government in your head, and it still has nothing to do with passing smaller appropriation bills to limit the damage caused by the shutdown which, of course, is the point of this conversation.
