RE :” Is it really beyond the wit of House Republicans to say that they favor first repealing Obamacare and then enacting constructive legislation? What is most worrisome about the party’s tactical mistake is the loss of nerve that explains it. That loss of nerve is apparent in the party’s other silences. Most Americans believe that government should not fund abortion, and liberals’ insistence to the contrary nearly sank Obamacare. Republican congressman Roy Blunt, running for the Senate in Missouri, says he will fight to apply the Hyde amendment’s restrictions on abortion funding to Obamacare. Where are the rest of the Republicans?”

How many times have I been pinged with :” We just need Republicans to win again and they will repeal everything ” ???

These are the same Republicans who enacted medicare prescription drugs for seniors and claimed no-one would have to pay for it. I never had hopes they would fix anything. They are all for the pre-existing conditions exclusions that will raise rates or put the companies out of business unless they have personal mandates to pay for them.

Well, that's the difference in electing Republicans over Conservatives (eg: Fiorino vs DeVore). We continue electing RINOs on primaries because we think they have a better chance in beating the Dems and we end up with McCain, Graham, Snowe, etc. Republicans always claim to be conservatives during primaries and moderates during general elections so again, this is how we end up with the McCains, Grahams and the Snowes etc.
