McConnell Does Not Favor a Government Shutdown

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that while he does not like the President Obama’s health care law, shutting down the government over funding it “will not stop” it from existing, Roll Call reports.

Said McConnell: “I’m for stopping Obamacare, but shutting down the government will not stop Obamacare.”

“The political dangers of a government shutdown showdown are very real
for Republicans, and that McConnell would imply that, to constituents
at home, demonstrates how problematic this particular divide in the
party is.”
