In a different era, where the ideological dynamism between Democrats and Republicans meant everything, Obama would never get away with the egregious acts of sedition, treason he indulges on a seemingly daily basis. The current membership of the Republican from Boner on down seem cowed into obsolescence,subjugation in an overwhelmingly inexplicable manner that is painful to observe, even harder to understand.

The abject lack of even the minutest resistance from the Republican leadership to this Rasputin-like character is beyond the realm of conscience and morality.

It's easy to understand. It's the race card.

The Democrat-media party has played the race card on their opposition, and they've won the game by doing so.

Let's try to marry Howell Raines's article about Obamacare's coming, written in 2008 before anyone knew what it looked like, to what we know about the motivation of the GOP-e.

The GOP's Fortune 500 moguls and CEO's have been vitriolically committed for the last 10 or 15 years -- and they haven't cared who knew it, beyond reassuring money-runners of their commitment -- to the elimination of 100% of employer-paid healthcare and the transmission of 100% of those dollars to their corporate bottom lines. Workers and retirees, out in the cold with nothing, Eskimo retirement, the whole let-them-eat-cake, the-public-be-damned Ugly Capitalist Moneybags gig. Democrats couldn't dream up better screeds and bull-bellowing than these guys were spewing from 2000 on, about Throw Granny in the Snow, I'm going to recapture my healthcare costs!!

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to recognize that the Democrats suborned the GOP with an offer to let those Fortune 500/S&P 500 companies accomplish their pipe dream, by substituting Sovietcare for the status quo.

That's why the GOP lay down in 2008 and 2012, and will keep lying down as long as Obamacare isn't 100% secure from repeal. Repeal would be a disaster for the GOP; the Fortune 500 types would tear them limb from limb in a blind fury -- but you PROMISED!

Obama and the Red 'Rats are stringing the GOP along, and we are just bystanders now. Thanks to those 97% straight-ticket, low-information voters and the ruthless concupiscence of the CEO's and GOP political leadership, this whole business is being transacted far beyond our reach.
