Suddenly, It's OK to Talk About Repealing ObamaCare
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 11/18/13 | IBD Staff

Posted on 11/19/2013 6:30:29 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

Repeal: Not too long ago, Republicans pushing to kill ObamaCare were called extremists, obsessives and traitors. Now even liberals are discussing the possibility of repeal. We've reached an important turning point.

Back in May, nobody batted an eye when Bill Maher blasted the GOP's efforts to repeal ObamaCare. "At some point," he said, "obstruction becomes, I don't know, treason?"

What a difference a few million canceled health plans and a crash-prone website make.

On Sunday, the New York Times — the bellwether of acceptable discussion topics for liberals — openly acknowledged the possibility of overturning ObamaCare.

Good to know, since most of us have been talking repeal since the day it was signed.

It’s not “Obamacare” anymore. It’s “Affordable Care Act”. It’s not “Illegal Immigrants”. It’s “Undocumented Workers”. It’s not “Global Warming”. It’s “Climate Change”.
It’s not “Socialism”. It’s “Progressivism”.

Cruz now looks like a prophet, and McCain an old fool.

But anyone with the slightest capacity for independent thought could see where this disaster was headed. It is chilling that so many are lacking the ability to think critically - including most of our elected representatives.

********
But not until they can find a way to pin the blame on Republicans. They need to develop their talking points first.

GOP needs to put that repeal bill back through. make it well known and reported that they are going to put the bill on Hairy Reid’s desk.

After repeal, Obama shouldn’t be impeached. The GOP looks bad when they allow Obama to continue to destroy the country.

if you work in the Obama Administration and you are critical of it, you are fired from your job and investigated by the IRS. The Gestapo Lives!

It’s not the “Communist Party of the United States” any more. It’s the “Democratic Party.”

The basic rule of libtardism is that their schemes never fail because they are fundamentally unsound or violate the basic rules of economics. They fail because they weren't given enough [time, money, power, combination thereof] to properly implement them.

If we don't like what's happening now, just wait until we see their proposed solution.

Don't count on them doing that while it has a chance of being anything other than a symbolic vote.

The Millions of policies already canceled are a drop in the bucket compared to what is coming.

When the big hit come as Corporate and Government policies are canceled because they do not provide the “killer” additions provided by Obamacare 90 million Americans will be subjected to higher costs and larger deductibles. Then a scream will go up.

It’s not like you can just say I refuse to buy it. YOU HAVE to buy it or face fines.

It is extortion in it’s simplest form. Government theft.

Unconstitutional no matter what that turd Justice Roberts says. A man who should be ashamed to call Himself a Justice.

Oh please..... the Dem party has been steeped in Chi/criminal politics ever since Obabo came to town.

Everybody knows Chicago politics is still stuck in the 1940's.....where nobody, but nobody, is allowed to think.

Now if YOU persist in "thinking" ...... mark my words.....there will be repercussions.

Was stunned to hear Lanny Davis in an interview saying that this episode has made him question whether the government is capable of running health care.

Welcome to the Dark Side, Lanny.
