While Rove is pretty much the reason the modern GOP is such a disaster, I have said all along that all in against ODimwit care is a huge loser.
A very small minority want it outright repealed. Despite anecdotes, it is gaining popularity. In 6 months people are not going to want to “start again”.
If the GOP comes across as a rabble screaming about Obamacare (which the majority will like by then) you can kiss the Senate goodbye for a VERY VERY long time
What? Premiums are going up. I am hearing horror stories from people all the time. They can’t delay the consequences of this epic fail bill forever.
The anecdotes are what is claiming that Zerocare is “gaining popularity”. Ignore the propaganda.
Nice strawman you've got there. Who's the rabble screaming about Obamacare? Ted Cruz?
So, in other words, there is no hope for this country, because most people in it are just dumber than a box of rocks.
Name one person that is for Obamacare that might change their vote to a conservative if we stop criticizing it. Name one... just one.
The “majority will like”? This travesty which even has former Obama heads screaming?
Dude, that’s bullcrap...
Oy vey.
Huh? What? Ridiculous.
It is an abomination that limits my God-given right to secure my own health care options for me and my family. It steals my freedom from me and as it grows it will make steal more and more of the fruits of my labor.
I will stand against it and vote for those that do. Damn Obama. Damn Rove. And damn your polls.
Karl Rove is just trying to level the playing field for the Democrats again, as the Republicans should stay sharp ONLY on the issues that are allowed to be on the table. “Settled law” is a sacrosanct ideal, and should not be disturbed, because it stirs up WAY too many emotions, and high emotions are not a way to rational debate.
Above all, Karl Rove wants to keep the debate “rational”, even though this is not an objective shared by the Democrats. Democrats can show all the emotion they want in the debate, and Republicans are just supposed to be the “calm” influence in the room.
Doesn’t matter if the psychotic adolescents are spraying live ammunition at you, you must at all times remain calm and try to reason with the psychotic adolescents. No shooting back allowed.
Self preservation is always a rational response, and if that includes disarming or totally incapacitating the psychos, then that is what must be done.
And Obamacare is a live grenade spinning around on the floor.
Nonsense. If Obamacare was gaining in popularity then people would be signing up, the press would be finding and touting "success" stories, and the problems would be decreasing, not increasing. More telling, you wouldn't have Nancy Pelosi out there screaming that it shouldn't be called "Obamacare" and you wouldn't have the President hulking it like a two-bit salesman.
Karl Rove is like all the other stupid Republicates that get out in front of audiences and wasted everyone's time by stating Republicans need to have a clearer message when, in fact, they could be telling them the message. They have no ideas.
