I find it interesting that those in the forum who think, like McConnell, that opposition is a bad idea can’t quite seem to articulate exactly WHY it’s a bad idea.

I’ll add one more point:

It might be futile if the (R)s were opposing a bill that a majority of voters in this country were in favor of.

However, the exact opposite is true: a significant majority of Americans — some 55% to 60%, depending on what poll you believe — oppose this idiocy.

McConnell and the rest of the (R)s in Congress aren’t fighting for an ideology that no one in Ameria believes in — they are FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.

To FAIL to hammer at the ‘Rats immediately, constantly, and without giving qrarter is what sends the wrong message to the majority of Americans!

But then, they don’t call them the Stupid Party for nothing.

Who said anything about opposition being a bad idea? That's a projection on your part and was not expressly nor implicitly said by me.

I just hate the constant knee-jerk ragging on Republicans that goes on here day after day after day, year after year. To be perfectly blunt, I think a fairly sizeable number of the people who do that are Leftist/Dems pretending to be conservatives just to come here and sow division among us.

Despite their severely reduced number in both the House and Senate, Republicans fought a good fight against the health care monstrosity. Republican attorneys general have filed suit challenging the constitutionality of the health care act. They deserve credit for that, but too many people around here only like to get off criticizing Republicans and never crediting them when they do good things.

I agree the pubs are generally jellyfish and aren’t trustworthy. But they did a good job for once. I say let them play their hand a little longer. Waiting for an opportunity to get up a good head of public steam is a good idea.

I never said opposition is a bad idea. I said that proposing an amendment that is sure to fail is a bad idea.

Why? Because it's a waste of time and resources.

There are more productive ways of opposing Obamacare. Make it's repeal a central plank of the GOP platform for the November election. Campaign on it constantly. Talk about it every chance you get in the media. Those kinds of actions might actually do some good.
