What do some of the Republicans not understand? If they won't commit to even trying to repeal why do they deserve to be elected? This is a litmus test worth having.

Any candidate not willing to fight this Genocide shouldn’t have once ounce of support.

My congressional candidate wasted no time saying that he would work to repeal.

Sorry but the whole point of this article is to try to create a rift where none exists. The dems are fractured NOT the republicans. The point of primaries is for 2 (or more) hopefuls to present themselves and their ideas to the people. The people vote and winner goes on to the general. This tactic is as old and worn out is every other one the LSM employees. We should know better than to fall for it.

Castle had the sense to not vote for the bill but I seem to recall he was a hard sell to not do so.

He liked a lot of it if memory serves....

If it means the those wishing to repeal win the primaries, I don’t see a problem with a fracture.

The last chance to save the Republic is at hand.

Those against repeal are too cowardly to stick their noses out fearing it may lose them a few votes and haven’t a clue about ultimate goal of liberals. Either way, they deserve to be voted out of office and replaced with men/women who stand willing to protect the rights of the American people.

Yah, Republicans are really divided and fissured on the question of government health care. But Democrats are united and their voters love the extra taxes and government control over their bodies.

NOT. Total BS and propaganda.

This is not a difficult issue. Vote for the ones who promise to repeal. Do not vote for the ones who wimp out. How hard is that??? It actually would make my decision much easier if I were wavering between 2 candidates....

These politicians are no better than the congressional sellouts. They see the media spin that the Dems are back and immediately try to match their position to the current propaganda.

There’s no difference guys if you sell your vote for goodies in your district to help you get re-elected or if you sell your conservative support for what you think is the politically expedient route.

NO DIFFERENCE!!!

“epeal-happy candidates like Marco Rubio (R-FL)”

Repeal happy? Listen we're talking about fighting the largest tax increase and socialist takeover in American history. There's nothing happy about this fight. We're hoppin’ mad in fact!

Leave it to this blog which ‘in March 2009 TPM topped TIME Magazine's list of 25 Best Blogs of 2009.’ Need I say more?

Since the TPM folks think so much of themselves and need to ask the practical/impractical question about Repeal - I could care less currently if this is impractical.

It is symbolic of the continued fight and thus practical.

Of course it will take 60 Senators, the House and the WH to repeal. It's going to be a huge fricken’ mess we're cleaning up after the RATS, imho. Then there are all the other messes they've left like ticking economic time bombs for us to clean up so we don't leave our children and grandchildren saddles.

You know what TPM, don't lecture me on practicality. It'll make me angry - and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry...I tend to change into a large Lou Ferrigno looking green man. So please don't try it...;)

I wouldn't worry too much about the 'war' or 'fracture' in the GOP over this. This smacks of MSM-driven 'turmoil' in the opposition that is more smoke than fire. Look at the names of the GOPer's that are supposedly resisting running on "REPEAL": Castle, Crist, Campbell, McMahon, Simmons, Coats (my money says Coats will run on REPEAL) ...

In the primaries, vote for the REPEAL candidates! For once the Dems have given us good advice: "Obama says Republicans should "go for it," and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said "We're happy to battle them on that field."

We are too Bob! Game On!

MORE MEDIA BIAS.

“right and far-right” is their term for this, but ...

THE MAJORITY OF VOTING AMERICANS SUPPORT REPEAL according to Ras poll.

Any candidate too cowardly to fight for repeal deserves to be purged - and we should support their primary opponents 100%.

Chuck DeVore for US Senate

Marlin Stutzman for US Senate

What do some of the Republicans not understand?

It is what we don't seem to understand, most of these Party leaders are for this kind of stuff, they just don't want to be caught supporting it. They hide behind the Dems when they are not in power, and the Courts when they are.

Instead of ‘repeal’, I would like to see the R’s run on changing the law-making process so that it slows things down. That will win more seats than repeal promises. Tell me that natural delays will be built into the process, and no more ram-this-thru/ram-that-thru will be allowed to happen.

Run on that promise, and there would be more than enough people to blow thru a veto of ‘repeal’...

The primaries is where we need to flood the ballot box.

Case in point FL. The GOP leadership is pooping a brick because their RINO has failed.

Take out the go along to get along RINOs today, and we take the leadership back on primary+1
