...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.
