The fact that the fix is in!
...Mitch McConnell and John McCain are part of it ...
Those clips of Obama from 2008 where he claims that he did not want mandatory insurance are meant to make us think that he is OK with a repeal of Obamacare and that he was not in favor of mandatory insurance. The comments by McCain are just the start of a campaign to convince America Obama is a centrist. It will ignore Obama's actions of the last two years and his voting record in the Senate.
This action will keep Obamacare from going to the Supreme Court and potentially embarrassing him and the Democrats. It will take the spotlight off the exemptions and the added taxes. It allows Obama to claim that things have changed from 2008...
Most of all … this will deal a major blow to the tea party.
Without Obamacare, the tea party lacks a glittering issue to capture the attention of the public in 2012. Then, if Obama actually cuts government spending and deficits, and if guys like McCain continue to endorse Obama's actions, the wind will be taken out of the tea party's' sails. The hurricane wind of the tea party will be reduced to a light breeze.
The old-line guys like McConnell and McCain don't want the tea party. They can't control tea-party activists. (Remember that McConnell wanted to continue earmarks until the tea party pressured him, and McCain actually had to campaign for his Senate seat in the primary election because of the tea party). So of course McConnell and McCain are cooperating with Reid and Obama to use methods for repeal that make it look like Reid cannot stop it and that Obama is a centrist.
These Republicans are cooperating with Obama... (read more)

Surely you don’t think McCain can fool us again?
He didn’t fool us last time, we just voted for Palin.
John McCain is a PROGRESSIVE.
Mandatory retirement for everyone in congress over the age of 75. That’s long enough.
um... the repeal already failed in the Senate...?
McCain is disabled is so many ways.
The logic of coalition requires that all parties to the coalition support each other. When some factions refuse to do so, the logic of reciprocity requires that the others return the favor, which has the result of dissolving the coalition.
The GOP apparently is determined to follow the path of the Whigs.
Obama was the Ruling Class candidate in 2008, and John McCain deliberately threw the election. I still remember McCain endorsing Obama for President in the final debate. Juan McLame is disgusting, and certainly doesn’t put his country first.
Obama, through his silly childish policies, has awakened a sleeping giant (the American people). The Teaparty revolution is just the beginning, the American voter will be the tidal wave to follow.
1. if the case is getting close to the Supreme Court, then Obamacare will be repealed before the court gets it.
2. if one of the conservatives leaves the court, then the case will move to it without repeal as Obama appoints someone who will uphold Obamacare.
Never assume bad intent where stupidity will suffice as the motive.
These people have driven this country into a ditch....
I don't know if two or more Senators can stop a legal case from proceeding through the courts. There is a decision on the table: It must either be appealed or agreed to.
Obamacare is not the only reason for the Tea Party. Does this writer actually believe that if Obiecare goes away the Tea Party will as well? Or Tea Partiers will be satisfied with the rest of what Obama and the liberals are doing? If so, they don’t understand the movement.
But are the new ones any better. Can anyone who is a career politician or about to become one be trusted.Look at what Brown did to us.
Once through the door they sell us down the river.
There might need to be an actual Tea Party, instead of just a tea party, to keep the Republicans honest. This was the risk of working through the GOP rather than forming a genuine separate party. Third parties don’t have to be like Perot’s or Theodore Roosevelt’s and result in elections going to the opposition; they can take positions at a state and local level, get members into the national legislature, form coalitions there and locally, and if it comes to where it’s worthwhile, run a presidential candidate. We also have the write-in vote, independent means of information these days, and the ability to coordinate and get things done.
But, we have problematic members in our own party such as McCain who will let the country continue it's decline by supporting Obama. If he wins again, it may indeed be over. Far too many people are in denial and are saying, "It can't happen here."
