They’ll have a year of implementation horror stories of this, told by the people, between now and election day. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Let each congressional candidate build his campaign on how the people in his district were harmed by Obamacare and he’ll win to go to Washington to over-turn the law.
Now they want to HIGHLIGHT how AWFUL Obamacare is because OBAMA’S SHUTDOWN is getting too much press.
It is to laugh!
“Mr. Cruz goes to Washington” was absolutely essential. Cruz used the budget process to highlight the flaws of ObamaCare. Cruz was crucial.
All these RINO Republicans at Fox News said Mr. Cruz and his Tea Party allies were stupid. The polling and survey geniuses at Fox News and the Wall Street Journal said wait for Obamacare to collapse under its own weight. But suppose that it doesn’t? Suppose that there are problems (every large new program has glitches) and President O’Bummer generously steps in with financial and regulatory moves to solve the problems.
Instead, Republicans have to act now. We have to stand strong at every step of the way, highlighting our opposition and proposing solutions from day one and minute one. When President O’Bummer tries to “help” solve the glitches, we already have an alternative — the free market or state options or whatever. The last thing Republicans should do is stand idly by and let President O’Bummer roll over them in budget negotiations and then roll over them again by drowning the glitz problem with money.
