	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

GOP president will sign legislation ‘repealing every word of Obamacare’

Well, first you have to have a Congress willing to draw up legislation repealing Obamacare...for a POTUS to sign it..

[Axenolith]

“I believe in January of 2017 a new Republican is going to enter the White House and in 2017 is going to sign legislation repealing every word of Obamacare,” Mr. Cruz said, speaking at the “Politics and Eggs” event in Manchester, N.H.

I am DOWN for money against that position. What is the bet? Lets get them lined up, losers can put their pledge into a charity or the FR fund drive.

You CAN NOT lose betting that Republicans WILL pussy out on a pledge, philosophical stance, or backing the constitution. It's free freakin' money.

Cruz or Lose

[DoodleDawg]

He would sign it. But would Congress ever pass it?

[TonyM]

No need to sign any legislation. His predecessor set a precedent that the President can do anything they want by Executive Order.

Republicans should have fought at the beginning not waited til all this damage was done

[Wolfie]

Obamacare will outlive everyone who posts to this thread.

[Hardens Hollow]

Okay, now I think that he is putting way too much faith into the liberal Republicans. He might be willing to refill it, but the idiots that just got elected in November are happy with business as usual and supporting the liberal/fascist agenda.

I LOVE THIS BUNCH of candidates and potential candidates (Cruz, Cotton, Walker, maybe others), especially compared to 2012, when we had Santorum (who simply seems like a dark person), Gingrich (often gets flaky), Cain (simply not up to it), and Ron Paul (total nutcase).

We may wind up with a strong candidate that applies my tag-line (if he has half a brain).

[Col Freeper]

“If that had happened, there’d be a lot of voices on TV going, ‘I told you so. We told you so. That numbskull Cruz persisted in fighting against Obamacare and look what happened,’ ” he said.

If I remember correctly, there were some on FR who were berating Cruz for standing up against Obamacare, and predicting a "total loss of the Senate, and maybe the House" back at the time.

Hmmmm, wonder what they think/say now?

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

Nice point, very relevant today. But said by Hamilton in reference to his petty feud with John Adams that undermined the Federalist Party.
