Why people insist on remaining with the OP(formerly the GOP) party, that has been determined to eschew Conservative principles for decades defies logic.

I don’t understand why the republicans don’t stand up to Obama. Do the dems have something on all of them? I am sick of wussy politicians. Maybe Chris Christie will run for president. He doesn’t seem to be afraid of anyone.

Cantor certainly spouted the Tea Party line at CPAC 2010—I thought the repubs had finally gotten the message.

The first fact that we need to understand is that anything written by Eric Erickson at Redstate.com is automatically suspect.

That alone makes me thing this article is bunkum.

The law that is known as "obamacare" is really a death plan!!!!

And this death plan will also raise health care costs. Pay more and get a lot less--that is the obama way!

Repeal and Start Over is the ONLY WAY to obliterate the death plan! It will give us a chance to have a heath care system that is good for patients, doctors, and innovator health companies--NOT for corrupt unions and politicians, and for "bioethicists", muslims, and MEChA/La Raza activists who want us to accept a "duty to die"!!!!

I had great hopes for Cantor.

Apparently, he’s a dud.

Of course it is stupid. What do you expect from the ‘Big..but just not as Big Government Republican idiots’.

Keep in mind that Eric Erickson has also been running with a lot of, ah, how can I put this politely, nonsense lately about the GOP. Frankly, he provides a whole lot of hearsay, but not many facts.

Boehner probably doesn't want to be Speaker, or he knows he won't be already. Cantor is simply sucking up to the Democrats ~ and he knows better.

If these people want to be in the leadership ranks they will have to start following what Republicans are up to.

Ghandi supposedly said upon observing a mob "There go my people. I must follow them because I am their leader."

I’ve met Eric and he has been both hero and nero to the conservative cause and while I don’t understand his motivations I can only surmise two things. He and the top leadership who are mostly Romney supporters don’t want this fight to go on beyond Nov. Also I think they are planning to bait and switch conservatives in plain sight on this issue.
It is stupid and if they do this they will find out how short lived their terms will be. I hope it isn’t true but let us remember Cantor and Romney’s “We Surrender tour” after election 2008. One thing for certain we need to make sure neither ever become speaker of the House. We need individuals like Steve King who have clarity of conviction and are champions of liberty and the constitution not Machiavellian politicians which I am increasingly coming to believe Eric is. I hate it because he has been a champion. I don’t know what has changed him but Republicans need to learn that the only strategry that is going to win is one that speaks to the foundation of this nation. We don’t want to go back to George W Bush or George H Bush we want to go back to George Washington. We do not accept that 2000+ page bills that no one reads and soft tyranny are the future of this nation!

They seek a message and they have none better than that of our founders. I thought Boehner was waking up but the reality is a lot of these guys look at this as a game.

They won’t get theirs approved. They need too many votes. If i had to guess as to a plan as opposed to incompetance i would say its a bad time to have the King bill go to a vote. Why give dems i close races a chance to repudiate the obvious dead weight of Obama at this time? So put up a sure to fail alternative and when that happens go ahead with the straight foward measure.
I have to think there are plenty of dems would vote to repeal it now in their hour of desperation ahead of the mid terms.
Just for the record i’m not one that looks for conspiracies but it just seems too obvious that plenty of dems would jump at the chance to have this vote to save their seats.

hmmm...isn’t it Redstate that just stabbed everyone in the back by working for the enemy...CNN!?!

This is just much ado about nothing imho. There is nothing wrong with having an internal debate on which is the best strategy. ‘Repeal and Replace’ or ‘Repeal’...either way..’repeal’ is the operative word. I haven’t read either bill yet, but based on the content of this article, it’s not time to panic.
