Even Joe Klein is seeing the handwriting on the wall: ObamaCare is in big trouble! Klein is blaming it on incompetence but I have a couple of words for Joe and other startled liberals who can't believe what they are watching.
ObamaCare is in trouble because it violated a couple of rules that a nice counselor taught me at a high school Junior Achievement class in Wisconsin.
First, don't bite more than you can chew. In other words, who in their right mind thought that bureaucrats could take over 1/6 of the US economy competently? How arrogant are these people? Is everyone around Obama drinking the same Kool Aid?
Second, don't promise more than you can deliver even if your audience is stacked with "low information" voters. At some point, even a "low infornation voter" concludes that the guy at the podium is a charlatan.
My guess is that Senate Democrats will start taking ObamaCare apart. In fact, 79 senators including several liberal lawmakers voted to kill the "medical device tax". It will get worse for ObamaCare when Senators and Representatives start getting phone calls and messages from voters complaining that their premiums are going up and employers are cutting back hours to avoid the new rules and regulations.
ObamaCare is Exhibit A that liberalism does not work. However, I just never thought that we would win the argument by letting the liberals implement it.
God works in mysterious ways doesn't he?

Remember when the buses sent out to promote HillaryCare were set upon by furious seasoned citizens, and they beat a hasty retreat? That is what should happen next year when ObamaCare takes over. The DHS, with all those hoarded bullets, simply can’t shoot Grandma and Grandpa on TV. Even CNN would quail before the onslaught of revulsion that would meet such an atrocity.
“We have to pass it to see what’s in it”...O.k. Pelosi...we now know what’s in it...$%it!
Sort of goes along with my theory..maybe...that politicians probably would not repeal it......it would repeal itself.
RE: O.k. Pelosi...we now know what’s in it...$%it!
You haven’t seen the half of it yet. Wait till next year...
If things were to go in that direction, CNN, Fox, and the others would be told exactly what they could show "on TV" and what they could not show.
And they would all follow their instructions to the letter.
Just like CNN did when it set up its "Baghdad bureau" and then ran it as a propaganda operation for Saddam Hussein.
“ObamaCare is Exhibit A that liberalism does not work. However, I just never thought that we would win the argument by letting the liberals implement it. “
There is no win. First of all, let’s just call a low information voter what he or she really is, stupid.
Now, realize that the people that put Obamacare together expected this type of trouble. They just figured they’d tailor it, and make it up as they go along. With ample cover provided by the Obama media, the stupid people will think all is well.
We are at a point in history when the American public no longer recognizes good policy from bad.
In the past, supporters of both sides of a position would recognize the validity of the opposite side. Anti-Federalists recognized that there were dangers inherent in completely independent states but believed the dangers of a tyrannical central government were worse. Federalists recognized the threat of a tyrannical central government but viewed the consequences of 13 states going there own ways as a worse outcome. This same dynamic can be seen in almost all issues in American history. The problem we have today is that supporters of Big Government don't recognize that there is a down side. They think big government programs benefit everyone. They think it improves the economy. They think it improves the overall standard of living. They think there IS such thing as a free lunch.
The only way to get back to the point were people recognize correct principals is to let them learn by experience. Get out of the way and let the central planners fall on their faces.
The Republicans need to stand firm - repeal all or nothing. Don’t just let the Democrats repeal one piece at a time. I think the whole of ObamaCare should be shoved down America’s throat. That’s the only way we’ll ever get rid of it!
Dems knew it wouldn’t work, and that was their plan all along. For decades, Ted Kennedy (who has been sober for some time now) said that the goal was to make health care in this country so expensive that people would demand a nationalized system. Obamacare is supposed to fail.
The left will just use that as an argument for a full-blown socialized, single-payer health care system. They want total control and will not allow anything to stop them. Obama Care is just a small step in the direction they want to go.
Now it sounds like they are going to postpone it until after ANOTHER election. snort
You know, you are probably correct. I heard that recently as well and it would make sense....sadly.
I agree!...Gee! I wonder if this disaster will convince the blithering idiots who voted for him? Probably not...They think it’s all govment money anyway...Not their taxes going through the roof. Stupid damn f#$ckers!
and now I hear them talking about Navigators ,new Fed employees ,to be paid $20 - $48 an hour and these jobs will be given to old Acorn people(well Dems) ,another step to one party rule
What’s not to love?
Back in the USSR.....
Nailed it.
Civil War can’t be far off now...How far do we keep moving for this shit?
