Kasich embrace of Obamacare program angers some conservatives
CNN ^

Posted on 02/05/2013 10:59:32 AM PST by Perdogg

By accepting the provision included in President Barack Obama's health care law expanding federal Medicaid funding, Ohio Gov. John Kasich joined four fellow Republican governors in welcoming part of a program their party has campaigned vehemently against.

He also drew the ire of some Republican activists, who had viewed him as a model of small government conservatism and a potential candidate for the 2016 presidential nomination.

Sorry, but the onus is on Rush and Mark Levin to tell us why we should stay Republicans.

After listening to Rush today, I don't think he's trying to make an argument to stay Republican at all. Certainly not after railing against the GOP-e and their 'track record' of winning races anyway.

I don't get to listen to his full show every day, typically I'm lucky to catch a half hour during lunch - but it sure sounds to me like Rush is packing his bags getting ready to leave the Republican reservation .........

Thanks for the pep talk :)
That is a very small list. Only 3 are still in office. I used to think Brewer and Kasich were on that list. But more turn into to RINOs every week.

Really? What leftists are we defeating nowadays? It’s easy to destroy, arduous to build. Guys like Kasich are worthless when they buckle to pressure. I don’t understand the cowardice. Bob

Yes, this is basically the Cloward Piven strategy, but Mssrs. Cloward and Piven fail to take into account the possibility that the American people will rise up in righteous anger at the destroyer. Our most destructive and costly war was against our own......................

Let’s just say it hurts less each time I have to bend over.

This may not be as bad as it sounds.

No, it is worse.
