Another good crisis the GOP will let pass on by. What dummies we have in DC.

I've become convinced the Repubs are coming to like the authoritarian aspects of Obamacare, too. Controlling the lives of the sheeple must have a narcotic-like effect. Otherwise, they'd have taken numerous incremental steps to defund it. Instead, they're looking to subject the peasantry to its evil effects, while completely shielding themselves, their families and their staffers. How friggin' nice.

If the Republicans understood public relations they would be bringing up a bill every month in the House to repeal Obamacare. Once passed it would go to the Senate where Harry Reid would bury it. The entire Republican Congressional delegation would then stand on the Capitol steps chanting “Harry Reid won’t allow a vote”. This should happen every month like clockwork so they go on the record at least a dozen times as having voted it down before the 2014 elections. Then run on an anti healthcare agenda in 2014 using every dollar they can raise to cover the airwaves and inundate the internet.

For some reason the Republicans don’t realize the media will not get their message out. If they don’t undertake outrageous stunts they won’t get on the air. They have to break through the media blackout.

Michael Steel, a spokesman for Speaker John A. Boehner, said this was the “Democrats’ problem to solve.”

But Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate Democratic leader, said, “No legislative fix is necessary.”

Note how the Lib media is very careful to characterize the problems as being with the “rollout.” I have seen that term used in story after story. God Forbid anyone state the obvious — that the problem isn’t the rollout; its the law itself. Once it is fully rolled out, it will be even worse. The irony is that the problems with the rollout have actually spared people some misery.

Problem here is very simple. The Repubcan party is bought and paid for by Karl Rove and his buddies. Just like Soros, this isn’t about ideology. It is about siphoning money from the American people for power and riches. In other words, GREED!

Until those with principles and morals take back the party and the country, we will be subject to more Romneys and McCains, in turn, subject to the Washington mafia pretending to be socialists and Marxists, pretending to be republicans.

The House would have to get their budget, with associated funding packages, passed through the Senate and signed by the President. The Obamistas under the tutelage of nutso Nancy Pelosi set this thing up with some long term funding. That has to be UNDONE.

Still, they could easily delete new funding for all sorts of things as leverage, but Obama doesn't understand political give and take well enough to participate in that. He's your basic meat and axe sort of politician ~ it's his way or the highway.

Congressional leaders wrestled at the same time with a more parochial concern, health insurance for members of Congress and their aides.

A provision of the 2010 law, sought by a Republican senator, says members of Congress and many of their aides must get their health benefits through the new insurance exchanges. Some lawmakers and their aides are worried that the government may not continue to pay its share of the premiums.

Michael Steel, a spokesman for Speaker John A. Boehner, said this was the “Democrats’ problem to solve.”

hahahahaha!

Translation:
Holy shit Barak! Did you see how many jobs are being lost to this thing? We have our constituents calling us saying they can't find full time work and are stuck working three part time jobs and still don't have health care! If this keeps up, we're going to lose our seats in the House & Senate! We gotta stop this thing!"

I think the panic on the Dem's side of the aisle is only just beginning and the dumbass Republican's are too stupid to seize the momentum and repeal it!

...than to hold the ridiculous Republican mindset of hoping that allowing disaster to happen will magically swing all voters and legislators to “do the right thing” at the next election, don’t you think?

What, exactly, would you propose the Republicans do?

They have voted to repeal Obamacare. The Democrat Senate won't even bring the bill up for debate.

They have voted to de-fund Obamacare. But, unless the Senate also votes to de-fund it and the President agrees not to veto it, the issue is dead.

They could refuse to pass a Continuing Resolution on expenditures or an increase in the Debt Limit unless the implementation of Obamacare was brought to a halt. But the Senate would not agree and the President would threaten to shut-down the government -- and refuse to pay the military, issue social security checks and default on our debt.

So, how do you propose the Republicans address the problem?

Serious question. I'm looking for answers.

At this point, the republicans at the national level need to INSIST that it be implemented Jan 1, 2014, on schedule.

The Repub governors can resist it in their states, but at the federal level, hang the ‘rats with it.

Agree completely.

And, by all means, don't try to help them out -- as Eric Cantor has tried to do.

We can't stop it at the federal level; so, get out of the way.

We can stop it at the state level; so, mount a resistance.
