ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE LIVES
.... and the EXEMPT GOP demands it for all

despite their LIES before the last election.

The shameless GOP is more untruthful than even Sen. Warren.

The GOP is sooooo dead.

To me, at least.

They are the sludge under the liberal slime.

But wait, be sure to vote for republicans this next election so they can stick it to us again, or the nasty democrats will win and stick it to us again.

The Senate Republicans will usually do the exact opposite of what they promise to do.

The only practical argument in favor of this approach is “we won’t be able to replace Obamacare until Obama is out of office, until then, we will maintain the subsidies because simply too many people will be crushed economically by this bad law if we don’t.”

The counter-argument is as described above - the more these subsidies get entrenched, the less likely they’re ever going away.

They don’t even pretend anymore. Their argument is always, “we know we will lose and will get voted out if we oppose Obama’s policies or nominees so we might as well go along so we can stay in office and prevent something worse from happening.”

I want Obamacare DEAD. But I think we have to be realistic about this. If we are successful with the Supreme Court in June there will still have to be some sort of a transition plan for those who obeyed this stupid law and signed up for Obamacare.

I don’t know how to do that but I don’t think we want to punish Americans for the Dems foolishness. But Obamacare has to end so there needs to be some sort of transition back to where we were pre-Obamacare.

For republicans, the time to fight is always next time. Always. Now is never the right time to fight.

These shameless “SPINELESS WHORES” are at it again. Never mind what they said when running for election or re-election. They never intended to get rid of OBAMA CARE. Even if we elected 100 republican senators and 400 republican representatives, they were never getting rid of OBAMA CARE. Their only concern is that they didn’t think of it themselves.

Unfortunately, most Americans are too “stupid” to care and if Americans don't care and don't see the value in fighting Obamacare, then Obamacare is here to stay.

If there are subsidies there are employer penalties.

The Senate doesn’t really matter on this. The firewall is going to be in the House.

So if some GOP Senators support restoring the subsidies in order to innoculate them against a voter backlash that drives them from office and restores the Dems to power, I’m ok with it. Not fond of it, but ok with it.

The plan ought to be to introduce a MARKET BASED SOLUTION in bill form and DO MASSIVE TOURS AROUND AMERICA EXPLAINING WHY THAT APPROACH IS BETTER!

We have 50+ Republican Senators and 30+ Republican Governors.

Very doable.
