Bridge Burning and Bridge Building (E. Erickson predicts Obama will delay indiv mandate after...)

".........I am tired of funding Republicans who campaign against Obamacare then refuse to fight. It’s time to find a new batch of Republicans to actually practice what the current crop preaches.

The irony in all of this is that Obamacare’s individual mandate is going to be delayed. Just wait. Liberals are already whispering that it has to happen. They can’t get the computers up and running. People aren’t signing up. They whole process is broken.

But they also do not want to cave in to the GOP. So they will wait.

Barack Obama will wait for the GOP to surrender, then he will issue the delay himself, just like he did with the employer mandate.

Any bridges remaining between Barack Obama and the GOP will start burning. Any remaining good will goes away.

And conservatives will use this all as a millstone around the necks of those who caved. The GOP will vote to fund Obamacare. The GOP will not fight to delay Obamacare..............."

As Obamacare continues to send shock waves throughout the country, those who by their public actions (not their campaign posturing and word parsing)stand firm in opposition, regardless of whether Erickson's prediction comes to pass, will be seen as fighting for their constituents and the country.

I’ve predicted prior that 44/2 will ultimately ‘cave’ and delay obamacare, as that this is exactly what they wanted to happen (republicans have been baited and tea party being used).

A delay at this point ensures wins for dems in ‘14, imho, but nobody’s analyzing that angle yet (that I’ve seen).

[Jack Black]

The GOP should not entertain any delays in Obamacare after the cave. “You had your chance”. No one should say ANYTHING about it, they should just not approve any bill that delays it.

Let the rotting corpse of the stinking program hang around the necks of the entire Democratic party for a year.

Somebody breathed Alan Shepard’s prayer in between Porkulus negotiations and there will be no delay.
