The Republicans are colluding with the Democrats to “delay” Obamacare until January 2015 and thereby give the Obama regime a chance to smooth out the wrinkles so it “works right”. The delay will also keep the issue from hurting the rats too much during the coming year's 2014 mid-term election campaign.
Do some people actually believe that a "delay" is in any way a "win" for Republicans?
In return for giving the rats another year-plus to deepen the roots of their communist healthcare and get it working smoother, the Republicans will cave on the debt ceiling. What a deal.
Wow, are we ever being played.
vanity bump
DO TELL!!!!! Why do we have a Second Amendment?
Not news, needs to be placed in Chat.
My hunch is that BOTH Democrats and Republicans are heavily invested in ObamaCare. They have to have time to ‘readjust their portfolios.’ It is ALWAYS about their pocketbooks, not the best interest of America.
Agreed. Even some Freepers hate me for it.
Theatre of the absurd
I believe a delay today is a huge win for the Republicans.
I do not care if republicans win.
I care if I win.
And Obamacare coming in a year still means I lose.
Just another instance of retreat. The Republicans are expert at long slow retreat. It’s how we got where we are.
Excuse me. That's where it is.
If by chance they vote for it, it will give a year for more people to see how bad it is. There is NO WAY you can fix something that is completely broken.
So, you are just coming to this conclusion?
A delay makes Obama a lame duck. A delay would be better for ObamaCare but not obama
1. The GOP is fully on board with most of the provisions of ObamaCare.
2. One reason for proposing a one-year delay is that it gives the GOP grassroots a chance to figure out where it really stands on this -- by postponing implementation until after many Republicans in the U.S. Senate face primary battles in 2014.
If it comes, it is RinoCare, they will own it.
I hate to say it but you’re right.
You just figured that out?
There is no chance to advance our agenda until we control more than just the House. And they are so deeply embedded in all facets of government that we need to "clean house".
Although tinkering around the edges like this is fine with me if that's all we can get.
“So, you are just coming to this conclusion?”
On this issue? No.

In general?
No, again.
