The worst are old Democrat mouthpieces, such as Doug Schoen on Hannity last night, who keep repeating the mantra, “ObamaCare is the law of the land.” Well, so was HillaryCare, until the old folks took out after Rostenkowski with their canes and chased him down the street when he was trying to sell that turkey. That law was repealed, until it was resuscitated by Obama, a fact that should be thrown into Hillary’s face when she runs in ‘16.
Are we so weak that we can’t do what those elderly folks did in the ‘90s?
Just a thought: if 2014 is a good tea party election, and Cruz were to win the 16 nomination, a lot of the power within the GOP would be shifted by definition. Reagan didn’t change the party then get the nomination…his nomination and subsequent victory changed the party.
Every once in awhile I take a short visit over to DU to see what’s up. I’m no expert at browsing that website but, IMHO, it seems like they are avoiding discussion of Obamacare like it was the plague, which of course it is.
Is DU in denial? I think so.
the dude is a snake charmer
Had a little debate with a guy who works for my husband. When he became trapped with the truth he pulled out the “Cheney big oil”, “wealthy Walmart” and “rich insurance” cards. He is a black “disabled” Marine, (the government painted his office with lead-based paint and it caused arthritis) he is in incredible shape, works out every day. He will go to his grave defending every lie Obama has ever told. I want him fired.
Ask them what the ideological difference is between not denying people for pre existing conditions and reimbursing me for my share of the medical expenses I paid for my wife’s cancer that killed her ten years ago? There’s no sense to the question but it sounds “fair” and, besides, I could use the cash.
Separate-but-equal and Jim Crow were once the law of the land. Was it wrong to protest those? Was it wrong to demonstrate, march, petition and show the inequity and criminality behind those laws?
Good point that an alternative medical reform needs to be found but most alternatives involve government and government is the problem, not the solution.
The Alternative is to allow retainer fee medicine to flourish at the grassroots level while government ‘healthcare’ apparatchiks continue to dig their hole. To facilitate this we need a law that protects private practice completely against any federal government interference including any form of mandates. Local regulation is fine to enforce practice standards but federal government involvement needs to be made extinct and unconstitutional.
How could it be denial when there is so much Republican backing for Obama-style politics?
As I recall Hillarycare was never voted on at all by either house of Congress. Rostenkowski’s fight with the seniors was another but related matter. People in IL wanted Hillarycare from the start though.
“2x” ie the really fat ones. ;-)
You presume that they are failing - from my understanding of their goals, they are being wildly successful.
They are persisting in “failure” because they are not failing.
What they are doing now is burning bridges to what existed before. By 2015, their goal is not that “Obamacare” be functional - it is that the old system will have been damaged beyond repair, so that it cannot be restored no matter who is in power.
They never intended “Obamacare” to work, they intended it to destroy. And that, it is doing.
America can survive a Barack Obama, but it cannot survive an electorate who would vote for him twice.
8 Border fence.
Not an Obama-Biden bumper sticker to be seen anywhere in quite awhile...
Remember The party power brokers got Reagan to put the GOPe Bush41 on the ticket. If Cruz should get the nomination, he needs to make sure to pick a suitable non-GOPe veep.
The US needs to make a fundamental validation of constitutional government.
