They should have read the bill BEFORE they passed it. Unfortunately, you can’t fix stupid.

Agree. The question the MSM won’t ask them , followed by why didn’t you support any of the House proposals, or Ted Cruz.

The last thing they want is for all this to be blowing up in their faces during the 2014 mid-term campaign. Let it be so.

Some Democratic strategists, however, argue the issue is not as potent as Republicans think and predict it could boomerang on conservatives who have pushed for a full repeal of the law without offering detailed proposals to replace it.

Replace it?

If you put up warning signs at a railroad crossing to prevent a crash why would you configure something somewhere else to replace the crash?

It is going to. I wondered why the relatively safe Jeanne Shaheen in New Hapshire was sounding the alarm. Then I looked at that map of increasing insurance premiums, and realized exactly why. New Hampshire is in critical condition in terms of skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Think back to the 2010 wave. It reached Defcon 1 for Democrats as even the despicable Senator Boxer looked like she might be in real trouble. Unfortunately, she survived.
Shaheen is no Boxer, and New Hampshire is no California. If a 2010 re-hash occurs, Shaheen may well find herself out of a job.

Replace it?

Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Instead, why not bring back the Welfare to Work program so people can just go back to earning their own insurance?
We don't need to replace anything. It never should have passed anyway. Buying insurance isn't any of the governments business.

The sticker shock for Obamacare plans and thousands now getting cancellation notices from their insurance companies ought to be a wake up call. The GOP should be running ads with Obama’s sound bites about how we could keep our current plans, doctor and save $2,500 per year to expose his lies.

I looked into the Louisiana election process yesterday.

Did you know they don’t have primaries???

They skip primaries and go straight to the general, and then have a general runoff election if nobody gets over 50.

What you might end up with is Landrieu’s race being the decider, her getting under 50%, and then control of the senate not decided until weeks later in a runoff with the closest contender. Something tells me we’d crush her in a one-off runoff election

I did not know they don’t have primaries. Interesting! I think she is ripe for the picking. The Republican candidates are Bill Cassidy and Rob Maness.

About the 1:00 mark of the video he starts talking strategy: “the path to victory” - don’t take advice from the New York Times on how the Republican party can save itself - we need to unify - we need to come together - growth and freedom are principles and ideals that unify the Republican Party - the evangelical community with the liberty movement, with the business community - growth and freedom bring together Main Street and the Tea Party.

If we get back to our core principles that’s how you reassemble and keep strong Ronald Reagan’s 3 legged stool....... then he describes how it has been done (wrongly in recent losing elections) and how that didn’t work - got our clocks cleaned (except the grass roots campaign in 2010 and our stand against Obamacare and for growth and freedom won elections up and down the ticket)............you don’t win races by keeping your heads down......

Poppycock: run to the right in the primary and run to the middle in the general - if you do that you destroy every reason for voters to show up and vote for you...... Cruz continues in the vein of “why this fight is worth it” (worth a listen). We must focus on “opportunity” - the biggest lie is that the Republican Party is the party of the rich..........continues.....
