Now is the time to go positive with competing ideas for insurance and medical care, that involve super-limited government involvement.

Medical savings accounts.
Tort reform.
States allowed to block strangling mandates like abortion and maternity for people who don’t do either.
State intervention blocking Fed mandates that harm residents of individual states.
And, everyone inside the beltway is forced out of their exemption foxholes.

That strategy worked really well for Romney.

Pray for America to wake up

Republicans should say they have a proposed law that will improve Obamacare.

The law should read “Obamacare is hereby repealed.”

Romney didn’t have the advantage of Obamacare’s consequences showing up in people’s mailboxes and lives.

Obamacare will curse itself and those who doggedly claim credit for it. I think a “no touch” policy by the GOP is wise.

Boner's favorite strategy..."Let's do nothing & say nothing, & really show those mean demoCRATs how upset we are!"

Geez, if the roles were reversed and a Repub president & administration had made only 5% of the gaffes & snafus & glitches that 0dumb0 is making, the democRATs & media would be pounding that Repub like there was no tomorrow.

Instead Boner & the quisling Repubs head for the hills and don't even pipe up a single word. We all see how well that worked for GW Bush who allowed himself & the GOP to be pounded by the media & the democRATs for 8 years, and to be portrayed as weak & ineffective.

I just wish for a change the cowardly Repub party would come out fighting and go on offense. How can this many Repubs be so f____n scared of 0dumb0?

What happened to the adage “when your opponent destroys himself, don’t interfere”?

It took a while for Obamacare to ripen to that point. But now it has. Let’s not have GOP proposing to make it better — except by repealing the whole shebang.

It's a numbers game ,...unfortunately.

I do believe the Media;s propaganda is believed by a majority of Americans at this point in time!

That is NOT a an accepted view on this Forum!

I am concerned that the majority has decided to go for the Free Stuff.

Your comment caused me to think. If the HOR ‘pubs are in their home districts instead of in DC, they can be with their angry constituents and make sure the dems keep the blame. Besides which, if they stay out of DC, the saboteur RINOs can’t do any more harm.

They should be out there every day reminding people of Obama’s lies.


And not only tar and feather Obama with this, but EVERY Democrat that voted for it and defended it the past 3 years.

The Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor, and Majority Whip McCarthy strategy: say nothing and do nothing. Don't take a stance that might get the media to write and say nasty things about the House GOP. Rollover and give the Donkeys and Obama everything they want because we can still get invited to posh parties, golf outings with the Donkeys, get money from well heeled donors, and keep the Karl Rove types flushed with cash.

What’s with the repubs refusing to attack? Are they capons? The gop-e strategy usually is flaccid and limp.

What a bunch of idiots the GOP is. They should be highlighting every negative image, and go in for the kill.

They never seem to know how to take advantage of an opportunity.

They GOPe are literally almost as bad as the democratic elite.
