Obamacare is the most unpopular law in recent memory - and Republicans still lost.

Could it be because the republican candidate was the father of obamacare and couldn't make a valid argument against it? The most romney could do is shut up about it and hope others didn't bring it up.

Obama should have been hammered constantly about obamacare, republicans didn't have a hammerer.

I’ve bought this kind of crap for the past two years. It’s all BS. The freeloading piggies in this country now outnumber normal, freedom-loving Americans. NOTHING can spell trouble for the DemocRATS except for maybe the local tattoo shop closing down, they puncture a breast implant or run out of KY jelly on date night. This is not our Forefather’s America anymore.

Perhaps the citizens of the United States who believe in the Constitution need to form a new political party. The name?

TANSTAFFL Party

The author’s thesis is entirely dependent upon three things:

1) Voters identifying the problem.
2) Voters identifying the source of the problem.
3) Voters accepting responsibility for creating the problem.

The odds of any of the three happening are slim. The odds of all three happening are none.

Besides, America’s last honest election is in her rear-view mirror. There will be no getting rid of these people, no matter how hellish life in this country gets.

Oooh, what will happen then, the Republicans will be elected instead? BFD. The Pubs are only a pretend opposition and are really only a subset of the larger Party of Ivy League Incumbency that has ruled for quite a long time. Keep focusing on Obama and pretending they would do anything different if you can get them elected.

One side of the party has to die first.

Quite the hat trick by the marxists to dumb people down this much.

What they've accomplished is truly amazing. The generational dedication involved in the long march through the institutions, the obsessive, all-consuming commitment to the obliteration of all that is good... it's like nothing I've ever seen outside of islam.

THIS is why implementing (or trying to) implement Obamacare is going to be trouble:

Health Care Hardball: Why Democrats in Washington and around the country are praying that GOP governors create a state run health care exchange. GOP governors should just say no.

Download and read that Cato Institute paper. President Obama and Kathleen Sebelius assumed that states would run these exchanges and foot the bill for it, though the exchanges would be run by Washington anyway. The problem is the 2009 and 2010 gubernatorial elections happened which expanded the number of governorships the GOP held. Why should states bankrupt themselves for this kind of deal? Why do you think the Obama Administration extended the deadline for states to set up the “state” health exchanges from tomorrow to now December 14? It’s not from the goodness of their own heart I can tell you that. They know if a huge number of states refuse to set up the exchanges and foot the bill, it is highly unlikely Obamacare can be implemented. The only thing left is the tax increases and then that runs into legal trouble because then you’ll see lawsuits from individuals who claim harm because they are getting unduly taxed for health care they were supposed to get. What a lovely mess. Heck, even Democratic governor Jay Nixon said Missouri won’t set up a state health exchange. Yes, this bill is that bad.

It would be nice to believe this, but it is also unlikely.

Any ideology that suppresses the rights of individuals will fail. It is inevitable.

It took 70 years in the USSR.

Thanks for posting.

Did anyone besides me notice that --in spite of the fact that devout Islamists do not have to participate in Obamacare -- there is a man named "Mohammad Akhter" chairing the "D.C. Health Benefit Exchange Authority Executive Board" ?? Ironic, no?

It spells trouble for America, not for democrats.

Especially old farts like me with health problems. They don't even tell you to take an aspirin and call in the morning. They schedule you some time in the next 12 weeks.

1) Voters identifying the problem.

They won't have a problem with that one, why do you think they let us keep the House.
